Stop Secret's hilarious adventures continue!
In the second part of this entertaining middle grade series, a super-secret puddle mystery is solved. Hilla, Maisa and Roni-Toni's stumble across a bottomless puddle of water, which swallows the friends' football. The Stop Secret Crew is needed again, and Mitsi, the world-traveling grandma, and the incredibly funny sock monster Hikisukka Hirmunen also join to help. There are going to be wild twists, swinging dancing feet and a lot of twisting and turning before the puzzle is solved…
"The humour is enchanting, but above all Stop Secret succeeds in capturing something essential about the everyday life of children. This is what makes it such a fascinating book: simply incomprehensible things are mixed in with the ordinary and everyday. And when everything is tied together by the mystery in the story, that’s when you have all the ingredients for a gripping title.”
