Ruby & Ficelle On The Chase

Heinähattu ja Vilttitossu rosvojahdissa

Ruby and Ficelle’s summer suddenly gets a lot more exciting when they meet Bill Buckwheat, a young boy visiting the Misses Alibullen.

At the same time, archaeological excavations commence on the Alibullen’s plot. One night, a precious piece of jewellery disappears from the burial ground. The town policemen arrest one of Ruby and Ficelle’s family members, and in an attempt to prove the suspect’s innocence, Ruby, Ficelle and Bill go after the thief in a fierce chase.

Sinikka Nopola (b. 1953) and Tiina Nopola (b. 1955) have been writing in partnership for over 30 years! Ruby & Ficelle, which was published in 1989, was their first co-authored book and it marked the beginning of their award-winning career in books, films, plays and music that continue to delight and entertain new generations.
