Night-School and the Missing Teacher

Yökoulu ja kadonnut opettaja

Going to Night-School – what could be more fun?

Except when your teacher mysteriously disappears and is replaced by a substitute who is fascinated by gloomy things… Paul, a zombie boy, and Martha, a vampire girl, are missing their teacher Miss Dread so they decide to investigate!

Paula Noronen (b. 1974), who has been nominated for the prestigious Finlandia Junior Prizetwice, is a celebrated author, columnist and comedian. The Night-School series is filled with Paula’s wonderfully wacky humour. Kati Närhi (b. 1973), an award-winning comic artist, enhances Noronen’s weird and wonderful humour with her inventive illustrations.
