Good news for all Sat fans: the Wish Machine is back!
A brand-new Sat story, illustrated by acclaimed author Paul Maar.
The Sat isn't allowed to do anything! So it spends its days being bored while Mr Taschenbier is at work. Through the window, it spies a couple of children clambering aboard a dragon. The Sat wishes it could do the same. As the dragon shop is shut, though, the Sat decides just this once to use the forbidden Wish Machine. Lo and behold: a little dragon appears before him! An entertaining game of hide and seek ensues, because Mrs Rotkohl must, needless to say, not discover what's going on. However, there's no way to hide the fact that everyone is so happy all of a sudden. For the Sat managed to conjure up a Chinese lucky dragon!

Wish dot chaos: a polar bear for Mr Pocketbeer!
Mr Pocketbeer doesn’t believe the Sat can make any wish come true for him and loses a wish dot every time! That’s why he decides to make a wish for something completely impossible: he asks for snow! And before he knows it, he and the Sat are knee-deep in a freezing snowstorm in their flat. And if that weren’t enough – here come a polar bear and their nosy landlady, Mrs Redcabbage. How on earth is Mr Pocketbeer going to explain all this?

Chains of sausages in the Christmas tree, Christmas carols accompanied by saxophone, lots of presents and a whole bunch of Sats. The Sat couldn't have imagined his very first Christmas Eve any better. And that's exactly how it should continue on Christmas Day. The mini-Sat is to return to the human world. The Sat, Father Taschenbier and even Mrs. Rotkohl miss him so much. But the spell that the Mini Sat has to remember to get back into Papa Taschenbier's room is just too complicated. And so the Mini-Sat unexpectedly experiences a very adventurous and very funny Christmas Day. | 7 +
Oh no! The wish dots on the Sat’s face are disappearing! High time for Mr Pocketbeer to finish building his wish machine! He’s got it hidden in Mrs Redcabbage’s attic. He makes a wish for him and the Sat to be transported there as fast as possible. But they end up in the wrong attic and find themselves face to face with an angry caretaker. Luckily, the Sat and Mr Pocketbeer manage to escape by making another wish, and this time they land right beside the wish machine. At last Mr Pocketbeer can try it out. And what’s the first thing he wishes for? Loads of money! It works, and the whole room is suddenly filled with coins and banknotes – but all in the wrong currency. | 7 +
Oh no! The Wishing Spots on the Sams’ face are disappearing! So it’s straight to Mr Taschenbier’s Wishing Machine, which he has hidden in Mrs Rotkohl’s attic. When the Sams and his dad use one of the last Wishing Spots to wish their way there, they land in the wrong attic and find themselves confronted by a furious caretaker. They finally manage to find their way to the Wishing Machine and immediately try it out. And they do indeed find themselves showered with money - lots of it. Countless coins and notes - but all in the wrong currency… | 7 +
It’s the Sams’ first Christmas with Mr Taschenbier. Or, to be more precise: it’s the Sams’ first Christmas full stop! No wonder it’s all agog. What are these little winged creatures who are apparently floating around in the sky? Why is Mr Taschenbier being all secretive, even though the Sams is desperate to know what’s going on? And why are trees suddenly appearing in sitting rooms, when they have to spend the rest of the year standing outside? Thank goodness there are so many songs and rhymes about Christmas to explain to the Sams what’s going on!

Paul Maar's Classic - with modern, new illustrations
Hooray, the Sat is back! The sixth adventure about blue dots that make wishes come true is here and Martin Pocketbeer is delighted that the Sat is back again at last. Perhaps he can even lend a hand to get rid of Uncle Alvin from Australia, who has taken up residence with the Pocketbeers and is driving everyone bonkers. He could simply wish him away! But sadly the wish dots are still on the face of Mr Daume, the mean old sports teacher, and he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. And that is not the only problem Martin and his friends have to contend with – Uncle Alvin is also good for the odd surprise!

Mr Pocketbeer does all he can to persuade the Sat to come back home. He meets Mr. Mon on Monday, on Tuesday, he goes to work and busily chews on his pencil, Wednesday is happily the middle of the week, and on Thursday, the day of Thor, the god of thunder, Mr Pocketbeer personally creates thunder with his rolling pin and a tin pan. And his efforts pay off: on Saturday, the Sat returns – bringing lots of new wish dots with him! Daddy Pocketbeer immediately starts making wishes, but although the Sat has told him often enough how to wish properly, quite a few things go wrong this time round, as well.
Paul Maar’s timeless stories about the cheeky Sat are simply never boring, and most certainly not with Nina Dulleck’s new illustrations.

Because the sun shines on Sunday and Mr Mon comes visiting on Monday, Tuesday is day two in the week and Wednesday is when some people have their weddings, because Thursday is the day of Thor, the god of thunder and Friday is the day people fry fish for dinner – that’s why, and only for that reason, Saturday is the day the Sat returns, that small creature with the trunk-like snout and red spiky hair whom good Mr Pocketbeer grew so fond of on his first visit. Luckily, the Sat hasn’t changed at all, except that he now knows all about complicated wish machines. In the end, he helps Mr Pocketbeer to make his own wishes come true. | 7 +
Martin Pocketbeer is the fourth-smallest in his class and the second-weakest. When it comes to shyness, he’s the number one. Martin would love to be like all the others, but he simply hasn’t the confidence. That’s how things are until he goes on a skiing trip with his class after the Christmas holidays, where he gets to know the Sat, a cheeky, irreverent creature who refuses to be intimidated by anybody or anything and can mysteriously make wishes come true. Martin’s greatest wish is to be somebody else – a wish the Sat cannot grant, but he does help him to be braver and more confident. When the week of skiing is over, Martin for the first time feels he belongs and knows that he has now found his place in the class. | 7 +
