Did any of these things ever happen to you? Feeling itchiness in a place you just can't reach? A light that’s suddenly not working anymore? Water being ice-cold precisely when it’s your turn to take a shower? Can this be a mere coincidence? Or are you just very unlucky today? No! These things did not just happen. Really. This is, believe it or not, the cunning work of … the Troublemakers.

Rico Hop bought his first house almost fifteen years ago. Soon after that, he realised that there were little creatures living in his house. They broke his lamps, caused leaky taps and swapped his socks. Bas Schel has been drawing all his life. He published his first children's book in 2016 and now works as a freelance illustrator.
