Mickan is eight years old. But she is not as shy as her teacher says she is. It’s just that she doesn’t like to go to Natali’s Big Bang Party, is afraid to death and of the power drill in shop class.
One Monday there has been a burglary in the classroom. At first Mickan and her classmates don’t notice it. The teacher turns the light on and everybody goes to sit down, everybody but Pecka. He walks up to the class aquarium instead and that is when he notices it.
The fish are gone. Soon, the entire class stands around the empty aquarium.
Mickan is a wonderful character, eagerly awaited in the world of books. She is the small, afraid and quiet girl who does not take up much space in the classroom but who observes everything that happens and tells us about the others in an incredibly funny and serious way.
Emma Adbåge hits a bull’s eye when she has Mickan revolt against everybody who views her as a quiet girl who needs to be more assertive. She is assertive, but in her own way.
