Denne boken er skrevet for barn og ungdom, og gir en underholdende og reflekterende innføring i hva lover er, hvem som lager dem og hvordan de håndheves. Den dekker lovbrudd og straff så vel som menneskerettigheter, politikk og internasjonale lover, med en sjarmerende miks av korte tekster, illustrasjoner, tegneseriestriper og diagrammer. Tekstene i boken er gjennomgått av advokat Jon Wessel-Aas.
