The Light in the Reeds

On Friday evening, Noor spots a yellow light among the reeds. By morning, the model ferry Bente built with her grandad has gone missing. Noor and Sami join the search. Noor has a carefully drawn map and a plan she is sure will work. But some of her ideas need another look, including what she has told the librarian about Bente.
