"Eww!" people shout in chorus on the street as the seagull stalks its prey, wondering what's next. I'm already being called, so I'll take a look there now, thinks Hyi the Cheating Seagull, and squeals.

The imposter seagull Eww heads south for the winter. He visits squares, markets and outdoor terraces, looking for ice cream, oysters and falafel. But stealing food is not easy - especially when there are other people looking for delicacies. Whoops! First a robber cricket appears, and then a real giant thief. When Eww arrives in a tax haven and encounters a scoundrel and a thief, it's all too much for him. The imposter seagull Hyi needs a king idea so that he can outsmart the other robbers.

Eww the Trickster Gull is a debut picture book that deals with unfair play and cheating. Linn Henrichson's skillfully rhymed story dialogues with the bold and graphic imagery of the illustrations.

Johannes Ekholm has translated the book into Finnish with clever rhyming.
