Strange women on the loose!
The mystery of the vanished mothers
Nothing could be more obvious: Emily, Bruno and Sofia definitely have the worst mothers in the world. Emily is constantly having to help her chaotic mum out of a tight spot, Bruno is forced to play the piano against his will, and Sofia can never do anything right in her mum’s eyes. The three enter a competition on the Terrible Mothers website and suddenly, miraculously, their mothers disappear and are replaced by friendly women who can read the children’s every wish from their lips. But there’s something not quite right about these substitute mothers...

Magical multiplication is all that can help here!
Who is ever going to believe 12-year-old Felix that he has shrunk the maths teacher all the kids hate and that she is now just 15.3 centimetres tall? He himself has no idea how it happened! But now he has a problem on his hands, or rather in his jacket pocket - because that’s where the maths teacher is now and still complaining bitterly. How on earth is Felix going to get her back to her normal size again? Felix grows bolder and bolder as he tries to find out why the teacher has been transformed and in the process becomes less willing to let himself be bossed about. Most importantly, though, he happens on an incredible story that is supposed to have taken place 100 years ago...
Full of suspense and funny situations – a book schoolkids can really identify with!
Two fantastic adventure books!
Volume 1: The Dolphins of Atlantis
Everything changes on Sheila’s 13th birthday. During the night, she turns into a dolphin for the first time – only very briefly at first, but the miracle repeats itself. Sheila is a “marine changeling”, one of the descendants of the people who once lived on lost Atlantis. During one of her underwater rambles, she meets Mario, a boy who is also a changeling. She joins him in the adventurous and perilous search for Mario’s mother, who has been kidnapped by Zaidon, the sinister Lord of the Deep. In return for his prisoner, Zaidon is demanding the seven magic stones which are the key to the old prophecy concerning Atlantis and the mysterious gateway to the worlds. A perilous journey through the depths of the seven seas begins.
Volume 2: Return to Atlantis
In a dream, Sheila gets a cry for help from Mario, telling her that Talana, the dolphin kingdom, is in danger. If the sea there grows any warmer, their paradise will be completely destroyed. Only Sheila and Mario can save Talana now. But to do so, they must travel back in time to the flourishing kingdom of Atlantis, where the power-hungry ruler Zaidon reigns. It seems that he has something the dolphins need to survive, something he must have stolen from them. A race with time begins for Sheila and Mario. Will they discover Zaidon’s secret and save the dolphins before the fabled Atlantis sinks beneath the waves?

The 7th Sunday in August
"A successful mix of everyday reality and fantasy are offered here, in a way that is quick-paced and has a great feel for situation comedy." The White Ravens 2009, International Youth Library
If only it were Monday again at last! What a stupid Sunday, eleven-year-old Freddy thinks to herself. Tomorrow is the first day back at school after the holidays, her satchel isn’t packed yet and her report not yet signed. But next morning, the unbelievable happens: when Freddy wakes up, it’s Sunday again! And that happens over and over again, every day...
A Classic goes Pop-Up
Abracadabra and hey presto!
The first pop-up work of art with the little witch.
Lisbet has landed in the attic of a strange house. Who, she wonders, lives here? Perhaps it’s someone who can repair her broomstick! Elaborate pop-up elements make Lisbet’s journey of discovery around the witch’s house particularly exciting for children because they are right there with here when she tumbles into the attic. They help her to conjure up locusts, shake Lisbet’s tambourine and make her new turbo-broomstick fly. A proper little witchy treasure for any child’s room!
Elaborately designed pop-up double pages with lots of surprising extra features for pulling and sliding.
