The heroine of Astrid Lindgren’s series of children’s classics turns the Swedish village of Villa Villekula upside-down while escaping the clutches of the Child Welfare Board, thwarting pickpockets, and bringing adventure into the lives of neighbors Tommy and Anneke; all the while clinging to the belief that her pirate father will return from the high seas for her any day.
