    Available for the very first time in English, this ‘lost media’ episode of Agaton Sax sees the Swedish detective leave his native land once again, this time travelling in style to experience the glitz and glamour of London. 
    Our super sleuth must decipher the mystery of a sticky-fingered thief whose calamitous crimes see him targeting a group of billionaires and their mountains of money. Flown via private jet to a castle in England to catch our corrupt culprit, Sax enlists the aid of his trusted friend and Scotland Yard professional, Inspector Lispington.  
    But will the duo discover who is behind the baffling billionaires’ bankruptcy? Or have the intrepid investigators finally met their match? 
    The Agaton Sax series of books were first published in Sweden, later being translated into English and printed with illustrations by much-loved artist Quentin Blake (perhaps best known for his work on the books of Roald Dahl). The English translations became immensely popular, achieving the status of the most re-issued mystery & detective series in the history of Nordic children's literature. 
    Now, for the first time, Oak Tree Books is proud to publish the entire Agaton Sax series in audio format, newly translated for the next generation and expertly narrated by Barnaby Eaton-Jones.

    How can we deal with a matter as delicate as the loss of someone dear to us with children? How can we help them face their fears? 
    All children learn, some sooner, some later, that unfortunately people or animals do not live forever. This can happen either through direct experience, such as with a loved one, perhaps sick or elderly, or a pet you are particularly fond of, or indirectly through a friend's story or by watching a film. 
    With this story every parent can, through the tool of narration, introduce or explore the topic of mourning. 
    The protagonist Kaya will receive the "Dream Book" as a gift from her grandmother, a very powerful tool capable of transforming all the images that are drawn on its blank pages into dreams. 
    Given her young age, however, she will only be allowed to use the book once a year. Kaya, thanks to her incredible sensitivity, will decide when to do it, and she will do it for a very, very special reason...... 
    With simple language suitable for young readers, this audiobook will help you tackle such a delicate topic through the only possible way, reading a fantastic and engaging story featuring our sweet blue-skinned extraterrestrial girl - Kaya.
