The Smuggler’s Treasure by Axel Åhman & Ola Skogäng (ill.) is starting its journey out into the world and travelling to Denmark, where it will be published by Bogoo.
The Smuggler’s Treasure is an adventure chapter book with a Christmas twist and it follows twelve-year-old Oliver, who gets thrown into a century-old mystery as he spends two weeks at his Grandma’s place on an island in the middle of nowhere. A mysterious compass in Grandma’s forbidden attic leads Oliver on a treasure hunt in the archipelago following the tracks of the area’s most notorious smuggler, who also happens to be Oliver’s ancestor. Luckily, a happy ending is in the cards, and there’s plenty of Christmas cosiness for everyone.
Axel Åhman is an author, journalist and comedian based in Vaasa, and Ola Skogäng is an established Swedish illustrator, comics and visual artist. This is their first collaboration, published in Finland by Schildts & Söderströms.
Bogoo is a new Danish publishing house specialising in practical non-fiction and entertaining children’s and YA literature.
Congratulations to the authors and the publisher!
