Synopsis

Magnus’ dad loves his mobile phone. So does his mom. Their mobiles can navigate, watch movies, and read the news. They use them all the time. And, when Magnus asks his parents about things, they don’t have time to listen.

His grandma’s mobile phone isn’t as good. But she says that she has Magnus to navigate for her and to entertain her. She says it’s more fun to chat to him, than to stare at the screen.

But one day, grandma gets a new mobile phone that is even more cutting-edge than mom and dad’s. Grandma is suddenly engrossed by her new mobile. What does Magnus have to do to get her attention back on track?

Part of Books from Denmark, Spring 2022.
