S.O.S Children’s Book Series
S.O.S Children’s Book Series
A regional crime series set in Eastern Switzerland with a Norwegian flavour. Written in a simple and accessible style, yet with complex content. Illustrated in colour throughout. Deliberately written in Swiss High German.
S.O.S. stands for Seraina, Olivio and Simon, as well as for their motto: the three detectives from Weesen and Amden step in to help in all sorts of emergencies. Often, this involves ordinary neighbourly favours such as gardening, shopping, babysitting, etc. But of course, they prefer proper detective cases. The three have their office on the sailing ship Svalbard.
Volume 1: Thief in Sight
ISBN 978-3-85546-361-9
In their first case, they track down the ‘Badi Thief’, who is wreaking havoc at the lido on Lake Walen.
Volume 2: On the Trail with Arktis
ISBN 978-3-85546-361-9
In their second case, the detective trio from Lake Walen face a tricky challenge: On the night before the 1st Amden Sled Dog Race, Dorothe Jenny’s sled dogs are kidnapped. Seraina, Oli and Simon take on the case and, together with the husky Arktis, set out to search for clues in snow-covered Amden. A race against time begins.
Volume 3: The Treasure in Lake Walen
ISBN 978-3-85546-379-4
Their third case takes the detective trio to the bottom of Lake Walen. There, the wreck of a Roman ship was discovered – and inside it, amphorae full of silver coins. When, in the middle of the night, a treasure hunter smashes the ancient vessels and steals heaps of coins, Seraina, Oli and Simon offer their help to solve the case. Can they stop the thief?
Volume 4: Spider-Strong Support
ISBN 978-3-85546-406-7
In the fourth case, the detective trio – Seraina, Oli and Simon are minding the ‘Undere Höchi’ organic farm in Mollis when its farm shop is ransacked during the night. The armed pair of crooks have dressed up as Bonnie and Clyde and leave behind a worrying message: ‘That was just the first of many!’ Seraina, Oli and Simon take on the case. A token found at the crime scene leads S.O.S. to the Freuler Chilbi in Näfels.
