Helsin Apelsin and the Tantrum

A novel

Helsin is small and flexible like a grasshopper and always in a good mood. Up until now, she has only had a tiny problem: Sometimes, when things are not going as she wants them to, she has a terrible tantrum like Rumpelstiltskin – a real “crackpot”. Like on the day that Louis comes to the dwarf class and mumbles a mocking rhyme about her name. And then Helsin simply steals his Fiji iguana, which turns into a real problem for her. How can she get out of this mess? The fact that Louis gets nicer all the time is not the only surprise!
