Astronaut. Or beer taster. Or maybe forest ranger. Then there’s comic book illustrator, of course. Rakel has no lack of ideas when it comes to what she’d like to be one day. However, being pregnant is definitely not on the list. What kind of sneaky ninjababy is this anyway? First it manages to remain incognito for six months till it’s way too late to do anything about it, then it makes a massive nuisance of itself, interfering in Rakel’s life at every turn. It’s like the baby is in her head too, not only her belly! Now she has to figure out who the father is and get him to take responsibility – or if he won’t, at least try to maintain distance from the whole thing. Then she has to talk the comic-book foetus out of trying to get adopted by Angelina Jolie.
