The Planet Rescue Club is an ambitious suspense series about the environment and climate change for children (6–9 years).

The plot takes place on the farm where Vanja lives. One day after the animals have been let out to graze, they fall ill. Vanja and Sivert’s cottage in the forest where they usually play is demolished, and the refuse is littered throughout the countryside. Who is tearing down the cottage and building new structures? And who is dumping the waste that is hurting the animals?

The Cottage that Disappeared is the second volume in this detective series, each with factsheets included. Illustrations by Jens Kristensen.
