Lost and found

En hejdlös historia om en borttappad flicka, två vildsinta pensionärer och ett oförglömligt äventyr Millie Bird är sju år gammal och har hunnit lista tjugosju föremål i sin Bok om döda saker när hennes pappa plötsligt blir nummer tjugoåtta. Vem ska nu svara på alla Millies frågor om världen? Och vem ska göra hennes mamma glad igen? En dag blir Millie lämnad ensam kvar i köpcentret. Hennes mamma måste ha gått vilse på vägen tillbaka. Ingen lägger märke till den rödhåriga flickan med lika röda gummistövlar som sitter och väntar under stället med damunderkläder i kolossalformat. Inte förrän den åttiosexårige före detta maskinskrivaren Karl dyker upp. Karl hittar Millie. Och Millie och Karl hittar i sin tur Millies vresiga åttiotvååriga granne Agatha. Alla har de förlorat någon. Karl sörjer fortfarande sin älskade fru, och Agatha har inte lämnat huset sedan hon blev änka. Tillsammans ger de sig av på en halsbrytande resa genom Australien. De är på jakt efter Millies mamma. Och de är beredda att bryta mot alla regler. Millie Birds bok om döda saker är en rörande, dråplig och charmig berättelse om sorg och vänskap, och om att det aldrig är för sent att njuta av livet.

Millie Birds bok om döda saker

Noch so eine Tatsache über die Welt

At seven years old, Millie Bird realises that everything is dying around her. She wasn't to know that after she had recorded twenty-seven assorted creatures in her Book of Dead Things her dad would be a Dead Thing, too. Agatha Pantha is eighty-two and has not left her house since her husband died. She sits behind her front window, hidden by the curtains and ivy, and shouts at passers-by, roaring her anger at complete strangers. Until the day Agatha spies a young girl across the street. Karl the Touch Typist is eighty-seven when his son kisses him on the cheek before leaving him at the nursing home. As he watches his son leave, Karl has a moment of clarity. He escapes the home and takes off in search of something different. Three lost people needing to be found. But they don't know it yet. Millie, Agatha and Karl are about to break the rules and discover what living is all about.

Your Wild Activity Book: Nature Inspired Games and Puzzles

Millie Bird er sju år og alltid optimistisk. Hun går bestandig med røde gummistøvler som matcher det krøllete håret. Moren hennes er ute av seg av sorg over å ha mistet ektemannen og Millies far, og etterlater datteren på et kjøpesenter før hun forsvinner. Agatha Pantha er åttito år og har aldri forlatt huset, eller snakket med noen, siden hun ble enke for sju år siden. Hun fyller stillheten ved å rope etter forbipasserende, la TV-en stå og flimre og ved å holde på strenge rutiner. Touchspesialisten Karl er åttisju år. Han pleide å taste små kjærlighetsbrev på huden til sin ektefelle. Nå som hun er død, skriver han ordene i luften mens hans snakker. Karl bor på gamlehjem, men i et øyeblikk av klarhet klarte han å flykte. Nå er han på rømmen. De tre finner hverandre på et skjebnesvangert tidspunkt og begir seg i vei tvers gjennom det vestlige Australia for å finne Millies mor. Underveis forsøker Karl å finne ut hvordan han kan bli mann igjen, mens Agatha bare vil at alt skal bli slik det en gang var. Sammen finner de ut at alderdom ikke er det samme som døden, at de unge kan være kloke, og at det å tillate seg selv å være trist av og til, kan være nøkkelen til et lykkelig liv.
