Description
Description
Written with the same light-hearted satirical voice as Jonas Jonasson's bestselling debut novel, 'The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared', 'The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden' is another picaresque tale of how one person's actions can have far-reaching - even global - consequences.

Critical Reviews
"In The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden, Jonas Jonasson unfurls a wide, whimsical net that readers will relish being caught up in." - BookPage
"A funny and improbable tale with characters from South Africa to Sweden demonstrates how even the most seemingly insignificant people can change the fate of the world." - Denver Post
"A funny and completely implausible farce about a woman, a bomb and a man's frustrated ambition to overthrow the king of Sweden... The rest of the world will chuckle all the way through it." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"What! An internationally best-selling series from Scandinavia that isn't bleak and crime-ridden?... The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden tells the improbable story of a teenager who escapes South Africa with a fortune in diamonds and somehow ends up in league with a pair of Swedish twins, Holger One and Holger Two, intent on kidnapping the king." - New York Daily News
"There's a new offbeat ingénue lurking in the land of "Pippi Longstocking" and "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"--and this one's an expert in thermonuclear weaponry... With a bag of stolen diamonds, this extraordinary orphan seeks sanctuary in the Nordic north. But alas, the Swedish situation is far from sweet, as twisted twins named Holger 1 and Holger 2 plot to kidnap the king." - New York Post
