Hot Spring Rolls, Weird Orphanages, and Thai Twins

Pieter receives a great offer: he can go to the world gaming championships with his friend Jochem. As soon as Pieter knows that he is going to Thailand, he organizes a Thai market at school. The proceeds are intended for an orphanage. Arriving in the capital Bangkok, the boys bring the money themselves. From that moment on, their journey turns into a nightmare. The orphanage turns out not to be the safe place it should be. In an attempt to help the orphan girls Sunisa and Unchalee, the boys themselves end up in mortal danger. Only a crazy plan can save them and the girls. Ripe melons, a bomb threat, love, a fast motorbike taxi, hot spring rolls and a wooden raft play an important role in their actions.
Lawyer, journalist and children's book writer Peter Hoogenboom (1956) takes today's world as the setting for his stories. In his compelling adventures, he connects to situations that dominate the news and directly affect the lives of children in many countries. Children's rights and the struggle that children worldwide wage for a better life form the common thread in his series of world adventures. His books are characterized by constant tension, surprising twists, humor and the striking descriptions of the living situations of children in other countries and cultures.
