Stella Says Goodbye (2024)

Stella‘s Bonkers Family Series #9 The Stella‘s Bonkers Family Series has earned its place among Iceland‘s most popular children’s books. Each of the books has won Iceland’s Children’s Choice Book Award and the first, My Bonkers Mum!, also won the Icelandic Literary Prize and was selected as 2017 IBBY Outstanding Books for Young People with Disabilities Selection. The book was adapted into a popular stage play, and the audience — just like the other Stella fans around Iceland — cheered for more.

All children in Iceland know Stella and her colourful family: her bonkers mum, professor dad, the grandmas, the five children and the paranoid neighbour. Now, Stella aims for the Olympics but everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. And how is she supposed to be peppy and cheerful when that happens?

Through laughter, love, and a whole lot of mayhem, Stella learns the importance of family and the joy of embracing life's unexpected surprises. Perfect for children and families, this book is a delightful reminder that even in the craziest of times, family is always there to support and love one another.

This is the last book about Stella and her crazy family and of course there is a whole lot of drama, both embarrassing and terribly funny!
