Iqbal Farooq and the Black Pierrot

Meet Iqbal Farooq. He lives with his family in Blågårdsgade on Nørrebro, where even the weirdest neighbours are an extension of the family – whether you want it or not.

Now, it's not just a school detention they're facing; a gang of mischievous crooks are chasing them across the country, causing havoc on their family camping trip and at the Kattegat Center. With the beautiful Tivoli, the whole of Copenhagen, and even the Queen of Denmark at risk, it's up to Iqbal and his pals to outsmart the crooks.
