When Princess Làr travels with her twelve ladies-in-waiting to the land of the enemy, she has no idea that she herself is part of a dangerous intrigue. One of her ladies-in-waiting steals her identity – and Làr finds herself reduced to a simple maidservant, far from everything she has ever known. In the stables she meets the gooseherd Anail, and quickly strangers become confidants. Anail is fascinated by the young woman who seems to be far more than first impressions suggest. But he must not let himself get too close, for Làr is not the only one concealing a secret.
Twelve-year-old Henri finds a bundle of old notebooks in the cellar. Mysterious records of magical knowledge and instructions, it seems. But this discovery changes everything. Not only do Henri and his friends Sahin and Charlotte try out one or two dangerously risky experiments, but his miniature poodle is also behaving more and more strangely... and eerily.
Thrilling mystery or diabolical danger? In the end, there is only one option: eyes shut and straight through the Poodle Panic! A gripping series opener full of suspense, humour and creepy magic – for everyone who loves stories with big and small monsters, plenty of action and laughs, brave characters and no end of fantastical adventures. Fully illustrated in colour by Thomas Hussung in diary style.
A little Ottifant grows up in the middle of a herd of elephants – loved, but always somehow a little different. His trunk trips over itself, ties itself in knots and can bend and stretch in unbelievable ways. When a butterfly lures him away from the herd, a great journey begins through steppe, river and jungle: Karl, the little Ottifant, helps Giraffe, Leopard and co. with his "super trunk" and realises that being different is a real superpower. But when he encounters a village full of Ottifants in the morning mist, the biggest question of all arises: where does he truly belong?
