Something odd is going on, because adults have started to behave stranger than usual - they are telling the truth!
At the same time, there’s a wave of mysterious gold thefts in the city - even goldfish go missing! Oona is sure that her cute little brother Veikka knows more than he lets on. But how to prove it? As usual, the totally incompetent policeman Dad Man is mishandling his robbery investigations, and Oona must rush to the rescue. But the evil little brother is always one step ahead.
The books illustrated by Kai Vaalio offer plenty of delightful things to look at, and one can sink into the pictures for a long time. Dad Man and his family’s adventures examine today’s themes with a whack-crazy attitude.
