What this book is about
Allan Karlsson, now 101, escapes his nursing home in a hot air balloon and accidentally lands on a container ship. His journey takes him from North Korea to an encounter with Kim Jong-un to the midst of an international crisis—all of which Allan navigates with his characteristic cheerful disregard for consequences. Jonasson's sequel has the same whimsical energy as the original and the same comedy of an old man who has simply run out of the ability to be alarmed.
