Dave rides through the Wild West of Nevada with his suitcase full of money. He is supposed to buy shares in silver mine for his brother, but then his stagecoach gets robbed and all the money is gone …

Silver fever is rampant in the Wild West and no one is spared. Dave’s older brother also hopes to become rich and sends Dave to Virginia City to buy shares in a silver mine for him. But the stagecoach is held up by robbers who take all the pas- sengers’ valuables. Suddenly they are all standing there with empty hands – Dave, who lost his brother’s money, Penny Dreadful, the hopeless singer who had to give up her beautiful carbuncle brooch, and Curry, who Dave doesn’t quite know what to think of at fi rst. Together they end up in Goliath, an isolated town in the middle of the prairie, where everyone is crazy about silver. They say that in one mine, even gems drip down from the ceiling! Something is strange, though – the gem that allegedly came from the silver mine looks exactly like the gem from Penny Dreadful’s brooch… Have the investors been cheated? Dave, Penny and Curry set out to solve the mystery and put a stop to the swindlers. © Stefan Worring, Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger © Stefan Worring, Wieland Freund, was born in 1969 near Paderborn.

»Salah Naoura tells a warm, humorous summer tale in a concise manner and with an in- side view of the German-Finnish soul. It is a miracle that Matti and his parents survive all their ﬁ b-telling unscathed. Apparently strong families survive rough stories.« Explanation of the jury for the Peter-Härtling Prize

Matti is 11 years old and dreams of a family va- cation in his father’s native country, Finnland. He manages to get what he wants by telling a whopping lie. But once they get there, Matti, his younger brother Sami and his parents ﬁ nd themselves without a place to stay, no money and no car in the middle of Finnish wasteland. Only a miracle can save them – or Uncle Jus- si, who has been struggling to compete with Matti’s father his whole life. A summer novel for children that stands out for its wonderful pun... And that is not even telling a lie...

Cross your heart, hope to die, stick a needle in your paw …

A great pleasure for reading aloud with numerous illustrations by the artist who inven- ted the dragon named Coconut. Instead of relaxing holidays on the island of Ratzekoog, Eliot and Isabella not only experience the shock of their lives, but also many freaky adventures – a battle of life and death, with high and low tides and – Billy Bratwurst!

Boy, oh boy is Eliot hopping mad because he has to spend his holidays on the stupid island of Ratzekoog in the North Sea. But he is in luck when he ﬁ nds out that his friend Isabella is also staying at Uncle Tom’s cabin. He has no time to read Moby Dick, for soon Billy Bratwurst and his gang are getting under the two rat kids’ skin. Eliot almost even drowns, but thanks to the penguin and Fred Flounder everything is a done deal and the mystery of the ghost in the lighthouse is happily solved. It turns out that every adventure can be survived with courage, humour and friendship. Ah, how wonderful Ratzekoog is!

Oliver Bowel is 17. His life is screwed up, up- side down. No wonder, with a last name like Bowel. His name is more or less a prophecy. But Jana is able to melt the ice. She has to. Gabi Kreslehner’s new novel is as bitter and sweet as life itself.

Bowel is a block of ice and no one can get near him, not even Uncle Kurt or Muscat, who often sits with him on the banks of the river. Neither can Jana. Jana loves Bowel. But Bowel doesn’t love Jana. Bowel doesn’t love anybody. But when the police turn up, everything comes to the surface again. What happened back then, more than 1,000 days ago, when his sister tragically disappeared and his mother started to drink and his whole life fell apart. Bowel needs this whole, long summer to to ﬁ nally start to talk. At some point, when Bowel is sitting on a hill with Jana and the sky turns red, it is the beginning of the end. »Maybe Jana can make miracles come true, he thinks. Maybe she is the princess and I am the frog.«

Who knows what lies ahead with this Hitler. I am only a poor woman, I cannot protect you. You go, do you understand?«

»You are the blessed, the chosen ones!«, they tell 14-year-old Hanna when she is due to leave Ger- many in the summer of 1939. The destination is Palestine, with a stopover in Denmark, where there are no palm trees and the sea is not as blue as in Andersen’s fairy tales, but at least they are safe from the Nazis there. Which turns out to be a delusion. Together with the other girls Mira, Schoschi, Bella, Rosa, Rachel and Sarah, Hanna is deported to Theresienstadt. Hanna is luckier than the others and survives the concentration camp. But how many fare- wells can a person stand? Is it really friendship that ties Hanna to the other girls or because fate has cast them together? Does one always remain a child when one is robbed of youth? Already published

»THE BEST WAY TO PREDICT THE FUTURE IS TO

INVENT IT OURSELVES.« (ALAN KAY, COMPUTER SCIENTIST)

The population is increa- sing, natural resources are getting more and more scarce – how is our world going to look in the year 2050? How are we going to live, work and get around in 40 years? All over the world researchers, politicians, architects, engineers and scientists are working on these questions – for the future began a while ago.

Ulrich Eberl invites young readers to visit the cen- ters where specialists have long begun to deal with tomorrow’s world – whether it be alternative forms of energy, technological innovations, environ- mental issues, mobility or the question of health development. What are the researchers working on at the moment and what can we learn from it for our future? Many things are indeed possible to predict – you just have to ask the right people. But this book not only shows what the current state of research and innovation have to present, but also how fascinating and fun science can be. Ulrich Eberl sparks curiousity among his readers about tomorrow’s world and urges them to take part in the creation and discovery of the future.

This book covers: ✹ Energy for tomorrow – a new era begins ✹ The pioneers of the green revolution ✹ Don’t let the greenhouse gas escape ✹ The city with zero emissions ✹ Power plant in the basement, a sky of light on the ceiling ✹ Living safely in the global village ✹ Who is going to do tomorrow’s work? ✹ 3-D games and real life ✹ A future without books? ✹ Growing old and staying healthy – a utopian dream? © privat Ulrich Eberl Zukunft 2050 – Wie wir schon heute Ulrich Eberl, born in 1962, received his PhD in the die Zukunft erfi nden interdisciplinary fi elds of physics, biology, chemistry and genetic engineering.

Our body performs sensational feats all day long – some of which we are aware of, and others that we don’t even register. When taking a closer look, there are many fascinating questions to be answered.

Stretching is the ﬁ rst thing most of us do when we get up in the morning. But why? Because our muscles get stiff and blood cannot circulate properly while we are asleep. Stretching stimula- tes oxygen transport, also to the brain, resulting in making us feel more awake. Using the twins Leonie and Daniel, age 12, as an example, Jür- gen Brater takes us through a normal day with entertaining, knowledgable and humorous explanations of what goes on in the bodies of girls and boys at different times of the day. Readers are nimbly guided through answers to questions and explanations for sometimes seemingly sim- ple things all about the body. Youngsters (but adults as well!) learn things they always wanted to know – or sometimes just take for granted.
