Jonna lives in an orphanage whose manager is strict and obsessed
with cleanliness. Like all the other children, Jonna has only one
dream: to be adopted by a well-dressed mother who smells of
perfume. But one day, a beat-up old car pulls up. The door opens
and out step two thick hairy legs with muddy boots, followed by a
belly as round as a barrel, and finally, a head like an overgrown
pear. It's a gorilla! Surely the orphanage won't let a gorilla
adopt a child. But, to Jonna's horror, the gorilla chooses her...
Jonna sleeps in a hammock, and in the evenings the gorilla reads
Dickens in her worn armchair. It turns out Jonna and the gorilla
have a lot in common. But just when they've started to get along, a
man from the council threatens to send Jonna back to the orphanage.
The Ape Star is a heartwarming and unconventional chapter book
about love, adoption, friendship, and seeing from different
perspectives. An animated adaption starring Stellan Skarsgard
(Thor: Ragnarok, Mamma Mia) is now showing worldwide. "Nilsson has
a peculiar power to make you remember exactly what it was like to
be small, fierce, disempowered and six." The Times UK on Hattie "A
sparkling story" Kirkus Reviews on Hattie and Olaf "The Ice Sea
Pirates is a wild adventure with a huge heart...a beautiful book
singing with hope and justice." Sarah Driver of The Huntress
