Bookroo's summary

Pippi Longstocking, a fearless girl with no rules, leads her friends on wild escapades, from candy feasts to island adventures. But when her long-lost father reappears, she might have to abandon her beloved Villa Villekulla. Will Pippi's free-spirited world change forever, or will she find a way to keep her adventurous life intact? Dive into a tale of fun, friendship, and unexpected challenges as Pippi navigates the possibility of leaving everything she knows behind.

From the publisher

Outrageous Pippi Longstocking of Villa Villekulla has no parents around and no rules to follow, so she lives according to her own daredevilish ways. She has been treating her friends Tommy and Annika to wild adventures, too - like buying, and eating, seventy-two pounds of candy on a shopping trip, or sailing off to an island in the middle of a lake to show them what it’s like to be shipwrecked. But then Pippi’s long lost father returns, and she might have to leave Villa Villekulla!
