Young Olivia complains that her father spends too much time away as a professional spy. So he quits his job and takes Olivia on a vacation...all the while trailed by shady villains in the sharp, retro-style illustrations. Vibrant wordless sequences help to give the pages an action-packed, comic-book feel. The text, translated from the Finnish, contains some strange word choices.
