Written when ABBA, the Swedish pop-group that swept across the world in the 70s and 80s with their memorable songs, Finding Agnetha is an inspired story about a young boy who loved the group and wanted to see them play live again, despite the fact that everyone, the band included, said it would never happen.
He sets out on a mission, running away from his troubled home in America, makes it to Sweden and searches out Agnetha Faltskog, the iconic blonde singer from the group. Chased by police in two countries, Morrie Norris does not relinquish his dream, and everyone he meets along the way, are charmed by a boy with a passion that cannot be quenched. And while ABBA has finally come out of retirement in recent times, this story will still touch your heart, sprinkling some of that ABBA magic and nostalgia over you and reminding you that dreams do come true.
Written in a flurry of inspiration, after seeing the film Mamma Mia, Laplaine conjured a magical adventure in a tribute to the iconic Swedish band, ABBA, that sweeps you along in its cosmic flow, where real time (and disbelief) is suspended and events travel with the speed of light. Author, Barb Roman
An absolute must for any ABBA fan, as beguiling as it is well-written, involving one fan's dogged determination to bring to fruition that which will never happen...An ABBA reunion.
...Finding Agnetha was a simple read that brought a smile to my face and put goosebumps on my arms. A bit unrealistic yes, but this is a book with a message folks....dreams CAN come true.
