Manu Sareen

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.

Iqbal has never been a science genius, so when his school science project spectacularly flops, he and his brother Tariq concoct an experiment that's a little too explosive - and accidentally blow up part of their school! 

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.

"Iqbal Farooq and the Black Pierrot" was turned into a movie called "Iqbal and the Secret Recipe" starring Dar Salim, Rasmus Bjerg, and Andreas Bo in 2015.
