One hot summer’s day in Iceland, Lara and her family take a roadtrip to the countryside. Lara is looking forward to seeing her best friend Atli, after having spent the summer apart.

Atli’s grandparents are farmers who have made an old turf farmhouse into a museum. There are lots of interesting things to see on the farm, and Lara has a great time helping out and learning about the animals.

Birgitta Haukdal is a bestselling author and a popular musician. Her books on Lara and her friends appeal to young readers with their colorful illustrations and the author’s ability to empathize with the way children in Iceland perceive everyday life.
