However, when another new resident of Bullford Point is murdered, Joe becomes the prime suspect.

And the big dig has unearthed some mysterious surprises.

Dirt, Sugar, Sweetie, and Poppy are the four members of The Chicken Squad, and business is booming. A weird blue bird has just flown into Chicken Squad headquarters squawking on about a house-napper (yes, house-napper), and it is once again up to the squad to uncover who is up to no good. But there is something nuts about this story that the squad can’t quite put their feather on.

Prisbelønnede Adam O. fortæller i sin eventyrlige roman Gro om en ung heltinde i en truet verden. Gro må forlade sin hjemlige base og rejse ud i det ukendte for at redde historierne fra at forsvinde. Undervejs bliver hun manipuleret, snydt og truet på livet, men hun møder også hjælpere, der er parate til at lade livet i den gode sags tjeneste, og som ved, at pigen med det misformede ansigt rummer nøglen til fremtidens fortællinger. Med inspiration fra klassikere som bl.a. Michael Endes Momo og Den uendelige historie sætter Adam O. sprog til magien og udvider sit forfatterskab i ny ambitiøs retning.

Bogen er en hyldest til barnets stærke fantasi og til usynlige venner i mangfoldige former. Her er både en tonstung trold: Tonni2Ton og en drage så lille, grøn og fin, at den kan ligge i en cigarkasse.
