I hope the hive mind can help with finding a book for me. Many moons ago, back in the late 80s I think it was. I'm very sure I heard this story on Danish radio. Set in Sweden a child with divorced parents had to travel between them by flying back and forth from northern and southern Sweden. Back then you could "hand over" a child to the airport and flight staff for them to accompany the children to the destination. In the story the staff had help someone urgently and parked the child (main character) at a check in desk. This was where everything went wrong for the parents and staff but the adventure started. As the child took a handful of the tags that the children got to show where they were going. And they would swap these tags around so it say LAX, LHR, JFK etc. as they got put onto different flights around the world.

Am I dreaming or is this really a book?

Thanks!

@woollypigs If you find it, i'd love to read it in English. It sounds like such fun! I remember getting to travel by plane once, and that's what happened, they got me to the gate and onto the plane and my grandmother was waiting for me on arrival. I didn't get a chance to snag tags, though LOL--I got stuck on a cart with a boy with a broken leg, what a patient kid, too. I had never seen a cast before and he let me touch it. We were trying to figure out the best way to get Braille on the cast, too since I couldn't sign my name then. Sadly, not enough time to try Braille, but he claimed he appreciated the thought. Hahaha!
