David Barrow.
After a pirate kidnaps Siri's younger sister, she undertakes a perilous sea journey to rescue her. Every stroke of good fortune is matched by bad luck, but Siri soldiers on, surviving wolves, winter weather, and other dangers (documented in the atmospheric grayscale illustrations). In this Swedish import, resolute and courageous Siri showcases how persistence, kindness, and practicality can get the job done.
