“I find it incredibly exciting to know that children in the US soon will have the opportunity to read “The Inventor”, and get to know the aspiring inventor Cobalt, his friend and the mayor’s daughter, Linnea, and learn about all the colorful turtles and people of Mata-Mata.

I’m also very grateful to the team at Mad Cave who are making this release possible, and am very much looking forward to seeing the book out in English!” – Writer/Artist, Lars Henrik Eriksen (He/Him)
