Amalie and Her Insanely Many Stepparents

Amalie is just a normal girl. She has a normal family with a mum and a dad. But one day she wakes up and finds a stepmum in the bathroom. In the afternoon yet another stepmum is at the door. Amalie has just barely gotten used to the two extra mums when more stepparents enter her life.

"Amalie and Her Insanely Many Stepparents" is a funny and warm story about the modern life for many children. Amalie’s dad finds that Amalie is a lucky girl – just look at all the fun they have now compared to her earlier dull life with only two parents. But Amalie has a lot on her plate. Family dinner is one big argument when all the parents can’t decide on what they should have for dinner and bedtime story takes four hours. At parent–teacher’s day at school where all Amalie’s parents are participating Amalie puts her foot down.
