plant

Reinaus made her debut with poetry and a novel in 2005 and published her first children's book in 2008. In this genre, she proved extremely productive and successful. She writes crime and adventure stories ( The Old Town Detectives , Detective Triibik in the Zoo ), fantasy stories ( Maarius, Magie and Werewolf Liisi ) as well as books on current social issues ( How my father got a new wife ). Not least because of this diversity, it has received numerous Estonian awards and in 2018 also made it onto international recommendation lists (see below). The criticism emphasizes her "good dialogues and ability to build tension".
