The week that Moth found a submarine started like a relatively normal week. Boring even. So, the usual. A lot still had to happen before she would make her big discovery. She didn’t even have a magnet yet.

Moth’s name is actually Butterfly. But only her mother still calls her like that. She would have preferred a tidy, dainty child in a dress. But that’s not Moth. Moth likes black clothes and the old messy city she grows up in. As a sign of rebellion, she buys a magnet from her savings to fish in the old canal. And then she finds a small rusty submarine. That submarine is the start of a big adventure, in which Moth meets the punk-acrobats from the wharf, takes on a powerful millionaire and even gets to know her mother.

Moth and the Magnet Fishers is an original and enchanting story with just a touch of fantasy. A story about being yourself and about rust. Lots of rust.
