Put on your santa hat and embark on a journey to save the spirit of Christmas! It's the season of joy, and Christmas cheer is spreading all around Iqbal's home in Blågårdsgade. But something strange is afoot in Copenhagen... Overnight, the city's Christmas decorations vanish, and the enormous Christmas tree at town hall disappears without a trace. This Christmas mystery is too intriguing for Iqbal and his brother Tariq to resist.
When they learn that an old acquaintance has just been released from Vestre Prison, they can't help but suspect he's linked to these festive thefts... A Christmas calendar book in 24 chapters in the series about the delightful family Farooq from Blågårdsgade, Nørrebro. Former Danish national congress member, Manu Sareen, is the author behind the politically incorrect children's books about Iqbal and his immigrant family's life in multicultural Nørrebro in Copenhagen, Denmark.
In November 2007, he received the BMF Children's Book Prize, and in April 2008, he was awarded the Orla Prize for the books about Iqbal Farooq.
