Rosemary 5: The Mighty Belly Flop

By Miina Supinen & Anni Nykänen

Jump in, you little rascals! 
 
Rosemary series is a whimsical and colourful adventure for fans of illustrated storytelling. It's a combination of wacky plot, energetic dialogue, and surprises at every turn.
 
Rosemary and the Cooking Club are shivering in the pool during gym class. Suddenly, they discover a portal between two worlds in the steam room, and our heroes find themselves back in the magic world of Humpia, this time in a spectacular water park.  
 
Carefree splashing soon turns into a dangerous adventure when something with evil intentions is discovered in an underground spring.
 
With light and fun text and illustrations to carry the story forward, Rosemary encourages reluctant readers as much as comic fans to pick up the book. Humpia is a magical place beyond imagination that charms readers with its exhilarating anarchy.
