Synopsis:

Petunia attends primary school and lives in the diverse suburb of Metsäkangas. When an art event in the suburbs is not covered by the media, Petunia decides to start her own magazine, called Pieni Numero, Small Number, after the real Iso Numero, Big Number, magazine for the underprivileged. Petunia’s straightforward news reports on suburban life and topics such as poverty. However, reader feedback has prompted the need for a Small Number – Major Corrections issue. The book’s subtle humour and Petunia’s courageous attitude to life underpin its themes.
