Ranked among the 15 best children’s books of the year.
Finn, a twelve-year-old boy growing up in a rich neighbourhood in Oslo, lives a life of luxury in a home with more floors than family members, where socks are never washed as they are only worn once.
Until strange things begin to happen in the neighbourhood. Animals are found dead in the nearby forest. The residents of Heaven Road are worried, but not Finn, he isn’t afraid of anything.
However, Finn’s carefree life changes when the police arrive at his house one afternoon; his father, whom Finn loves dearly, is arrested, and the family’s credit cards stop working.
Determined to save his father and prevent his family’s social and financial ruin, Finn embarks on a dangerous journey through city streets and social classes. This quest will lead him to discover the truth behind the mysterious deaths of innocent animals, but also challenge everything he thought he knew about the world around him.
