The Robbersons and the Storybattle

By Siri Kolu

Following the lighthearted and humorous adventures of the Robberson family, the internationally acknowledged author Siri Kolu presents seventh title: The Robbersons and the Storybattle.

This is a collection of short stories delving deeper into the bandit-world of The Robbersons. A book about robbers gathered around a campfire, competing in who can tell the most bandit-worthy memory. In the end, out of ten wild and mind-blowing stories, the very best is chosen. Will it be Helen’s story about identity theft or the story about how Gold-Pete got his golden teeth?
