By Jo Nesbø
Lisa is excited when a new family moves in, although Nilly is not what she expected. Nilly's arrival also attracts crazy professor Doctor Proctor's attention, and an unlikely friendship begins. With Nilly eager to try Doctor Proctor's invention, fart powder, the duo embark on a trouser-ripping adventure. Though the translation is sometimes stilted, Nesbø has written a hilarious tale with extraordinary characters of timeless appeal.
