Angel from Devil's Island

When Astrid Barros turned ten, she decided that she did not want to grow up: "People grow, but their hearts shrink, and there's less space in them." Mom has a new boyfriend, Dad a new girlfriend, and Astrid is forced to live in two homes like a shift worker in the North Sea. Her parents have become completely estranged and seem to have stopped hearing her.
Astrid, who plays the role of Pippi Longstocking in the school play, is not used to backing down in the face of difficulties. She carefully devises a plan of action. She needs to make her parents worry a little. For example, she can leave alone for a well-known island in Sweden and turn off her phone. They will surely come for her, and they will manage to talk. And who knows - maybe, just maybe, they will reconcile and live together again.
But even a brilliant plan is not immune to surprises. As she gets into the boat, Astrid has no idea that the island is actually not uninhabited and that her family is about to find themselves at the center of a detective story.
The characters of Norwegian writer and musician Levi Henriksen (born 1964) flee from the city to the wild countryside, where, thanks to resilience and determination, they discover hidden strengths within themselves. Astrid is a girl whose courage and resourcefulness one can only envy. The story "Angel from Devil's Island" resembles the film "Moonrise Kingdom" and will appeal to anyone who loves adventures.
