In the second part of the "Piia Biscuit" book series, Piia's wonderful life turns upside down when her triplet baby brothers arrive. At the same time, some bizarre things start to happen in her house, which call for immediate action. The newborns appear to be able to talk at night and that startles Piia. Also, the trouble seems to involve a young mysterious, and almost invisible politician neighbour with some romantic issues. Piia sets out to solve the mystery before things get really out of hand.
A contemporary and hilarious adventure story with a touch of criminal mystery, and jokes that appeal to small and big readers alike.
