Sally’s Dad Swears (…Like Hell)(Book 4)

By Thorbjørn Christoffersen Thomas Brunstrøm

Do you know Sally’s Dad?

It’s not always easy being Sally. Because Sally’s dad is both embarrassing and silly, and then he comes up with the most far-fetched ideas. But luckily, Sally and little brother Eddie know how to handle their dad. And actually, Sally’s dad is pretty funny too. At least if you ask him.

Sally would love to go to the amusement park to try all the rides and have some fun. Dad actually shares her passion for the idea – he absolutely loves candyfloss and ice cream and soft drinks and burnt almonds, and he is furthermore the world champion of “bumper cars”, he claims. The only trouble is that it is way too expensive to go there. But then Sally hears about the concept of a “Swear Box” and then she gets an idea…
