    About the book: 2019 / When Astrid Baros turned ten, she decided that she did not want to grow up: “People grow up, and their hearts shrink, and places It’s getting smaller there.” Mom now has a new friend, Dad has a new girlfriend, and Astrid is forced to live in two houses, like a shift worker in the North Sea. Her parents became complete strangers and seemed to have stopped hearing her. Astrid, who plays the role of Pippi Longstocking in the school production, is not used to giving in to difficulties. She carefully develops an action plan. Parents need to be made a little worried. For example, go alone to a familiar island in Sweden and turn off your phone. They will, of course, come for her, and they will be able to talk. Or maybe - what the hell is not joking? - they will make peace and begin to live together again. But even a brilliant plan is not immune from surprises. Getting on the boat, Astrid still has no idea that the island is not actually uninhabited and that her family is about to be at the center of a detective story. The heroes of the Norwegian writer and musician Levi Henriksen (born in 1964) flee from the city into the wilderness, on nature, where, thanks to perseverance and perseverance, they find hidden strengths within themselves. Astrid is a girl whose courage and resourcefulness can only be envied. The story “Angel from Devil's Island” is reminiscent of the movie “Moonrise Kingdom” and will appeal to everyone who loves adventures.
