Danish rights to Silja Sillanpää’s and illustrator Pasi Pitkänen’s OUROBOROS 1. THE RAINBOW SNAKE (Ouroboros 1. Sateenkaarikäärme, WSOY 2024) were recently acquired by publisher Bogoo. The book launches an exciting fantastic mystery series about a young boy’s search for his mother that turns into a mesmerizing quest for the elusive truth that lies in the depths of the earth.
‘Silja Sillanpää has created a fascinating and adventurous story set in a unique underground world. Although long, the book captivated my attention until the end. There is humour in the text that made both adults and children spontaneously burst out laughing. The book is recommended for ages nine and up, but read by an adult, it works for younger readers, too. Pasi Pitkänen’s fine illustrations bring the story to life and there is plenty to explore.’ – Pauliina Grönholm, Helsingin sanomat newspaper
