IN LIFE, WHEN IT REALLY MATTERS, THERE IS NO PARACHUTE!
Ten-year-old Nina loves to listen to her father’s bedtime stories about a little hedgehog who discovers the world. But since he lost his job at the factory, Nina’s world has turned upside down. Supposedly, the manager of the factory manipulated the accounting system, causing the collapse. But rumor has it that there is still a small emergency reserve of money hidden somewhere in the factory. To help Nina’s father, Nina and her friend Mehdi set out together with the little hedgehog to find the treasure. A charmingly animated adventure full of humor begins, which simultaneously negotiates the concerns of children and adults. (KP)
