Take a look into a small village of Glimmerdalen, where Tonja lives, who believes in herself and doesn't back down if there is something important for her. "Tonja from Glimmerdalen" (English title Astrid the Unstoppable) was written by Norwegian author Maria Parr who is frequently compared to Astrid Lindgren. Reminiscent of Pippi Longstocking, Heidi and Anne Shirley, Astrid is a feisty and irrepressible heroine who will help readers navigate the complexities of family and friendship with plenty of warmth, wit and humour.
