12 year old Hans Thomas is taken by his layman philosopher father on a road trip from their home in Norway over the Alps and down through Europe to search for Hans' errant mother in Greece and ask her to come home. Lovely to read a book that actually asks you to thinks, both about an unfolding mystery within a book regarding a deck of playing cards, a magical lost land and the fantastically ridiculously named Rainbow Fizz, and about the nature of loss, love, and the importance of never losing your childlike curiosity and wonder at the world.
