The twins Inga and Baldur are finally on summer holiday. Their plan is simple: drink chocolate milk, binge cartoons, and relax in style. But those plans are quickly blown away when Albert, their upstairs neighbor, unexpectedly shows up at their door. He clearly has something serious on his mind. The twins have zero patience for this interruption, but as Albert reveals more about the problem he’s facing, their curiosity is piqued.
In this hilarious, fast-paced, and fun book about an unlikely friendship, the adventure takes readers from a Reykjavík apartment block all the way to Ísafjörður, the Alps, Guatemala, the Sparkle Mountains, and last but not least … Pig Fjord!
“Pig Fjord is an exceptionally warm, sincere, and realistic story about everyday family life. Inga and Baldur are charming characters it’s impossible not to care for … a truly beautiful book in every respect, funny, heartfelt, and genuine.” LESTRARKLEFINN
