Sophie Souid is an award-winning Danish children's book author known for her great humourous writing.

Synopsis

In the first volume of the LEADS series, every child's nightmare comes true for Billy when his mother suddenly vanishes.

All Billy is left with is an empty flat and an unknown phone number.

He sets out to search for traces of his mum. But it's difficult, because it turns out that the police can't find her in their systems either.

Who is Billy's mum - and where is she?

Reviews

"A terrific and truly exciting crime series that is also serious and tough. Well-written with fluid, easy language, the book is hard to put down. You're rooting for Bille all the way through, and you can't wait to see what happens in the next volume. The grey-toned illustrations support the harsh noir atmosphere very well." – (DBC (Danish Library Centre)

"Sophie Souid is not just a writer with a sense of humour. She can also write." – (Bogbotten (Danish book blog, the Book Bot)
