The Senior Squad by Malin Klingeberg continues to entertain and steal laughter in Denmark: Bogoo is continuing with the series, having secured the Danish rights to more instalments in a three-book deal.
The Senior Squad series follows a squad of crime-fighting pensioners who form a secret task force of elderly but sharp and inventive seniors that stand between the criminals and their evil plans. Often, the pensioners wouldn’t be stop the crimes without the help of a young boy called Patrik, who is happy to take part in all the adventures.
The series has been a success in Finland, both in its Swedish-language and its Finnish-language edition. Hilarious and full of action, the Senior Squad series consists of six volumes, each focusing on a different character. Bogoo previously acquired Patrik and the Senior Squad and Irene and the Moneyhoover (volumes #1-2) and now secured the rights to The Fake Bernice (#3), The Fantastic Alfredo (#4), and Rakel’s Miracle (#5). The fourth Senior Squad book, The Fantastic Alfredo, received the prestigious Runeberg Junior Prize in 2017.
