Did you listen to the radio on October 15th last year? Did you hear the news about the boy who disappeared? This is what it said:

At the time of his disappearance he was wearing brown shorts, a grey sweater and a small red cap. Anyone with more information on his whereabouts should contact the police."

It has been a long time since I have been book-hunting like this - grabbing a clue from the release-alerts and heading to a certain place. Even bigger then the happiness to find THE book!

I picked this book on thursday already - we had this in finnish when I was small, but I was immediately curious for the english version, so that my little boys could read this with their father - or by themselves when little bit bigger.
