Hana Tooke: The Unadoptables

Talk, reading, puppet theater, Q&A

In Amsterdam’s orphanage »Little Tulip«, five children are left in the fall of 1880. Twelve years later, the horrible orphanage director finally tries to get rid of them and leave them to a shady sugar trader. But Lotta, Mads, Mona, Gisbert, and Milou manage to escape. Together they embark on a search for Milou’s parents. This atmospherically dense, impressively literary, and adrenaline-charged children’s novel is a celebration of humor, friendship, and family.
