Lena Lindahl

The Lofoten fishing season is underway and everybody wants to catch this year’s coffee cod – a fish weighing over 30 kilos that will earn them a kilo of coffee.

Tora sneaks off in the little boat and heads out to catch a coffee cod. But the sea is wild and the obstacles are many. A beautiful, fully illustrated story about brave girls, choppy seas and enormous cod.
