Plot

A little girl "kidnaps" her half-sister in order to get the attention of her father who left her mother years ago for another woman (who gave birth to her half-sister).

Hrefna lives alone with her mother and longs for her father, who she has never met. Her mother keeps on telling her that he's living abroad, but on her tenth birthday, Hrefna discovers that he actually returned to Iceland years ago. Hrefna and her resourceful friend, Yrsa, manage to track him down, only to discover that he doesn't even recognize his own daughter. And to make matters worse, he has a new wife and baby. Kidnapping is no kid's stuff, but what can a little girl do to get her father's attention these days?—L.H. Wong <lhw@sfs.org.sg>
