He knows from past experience how difficult it is to get off the ground. And he’s right. What a good thing the pair meet Belle, the dragonfly.

José is on the way to the isla maldita to discover why people call it “curse island” and to find out if there is any truth in the tales of its legendary treasure. He takes Jonathon along and the two travellers are gradually joined by a variety of animals, as a rice rat, a penguin, an iguana, a flamingo and several other members of the animal kingdom find their way onto the boat as if by magic. They all help to raise Jonathon’s spirits and help him face life again.
It becomes clear that the Mariposa is being followed and José seems to have a map on board that a few other people would dearly love to lay their hands on, too. The stowaway José and Jonathon discover one night is also after the map. In the end, he is the one who realises that Jonathon is really a girl.
Marit and José survive storms and volcanic eruptions to arrive, at last, on the isla maldita. The map leads them to the treasure, which turns out to be nothing but a freshwater spring – which is disappointing, too, for the people who had been on the Mariposa’s tail. They are, in fact, American and German spies, who had thought they were after a map that could change the course of the war. On the island, Marit also discovers a second treasure: her family who had in turn believed her dead. They had flown the war to the safety of the Galapagos Islands Marit’s mother had dreamed of all her life. José returns to his native island but remains in contact with Marit. | 11 +

In her latest book, Lina Mallon writes about the female friends and other women who have affected her life. With great frankness and openness, she describes real support, unexpected opposition, friendship disappointments, the strength of Girl Power, and the dilemma in which women of all ages can find themselves: meeting the expectations of society whilst fulfilling their own dreams and desires. Our greatest challenge is not to lose ourselves at this point but to find our own way as women. Above all, Mallon emphasises the importance of women mutually supporting one another, being honest with one another, and even being able to criticise one another in a positive way so that they can grow together rather than competing with one another.
30 stories about 30 women - for all young women who are on the journey of their lives! | 14 +

Luke is 14 years old and he has the house to himself while his mum is away. It’s pretty cool having two weeks of freedom. And with his best mate, Luke can have all kinds of adventures. Also, there’s a girl he is crazy about. He got hold of her telephone number before the summer holidays and now each day is the one when he will finally text her.
All pretty normal stuff so far.
But there is something Luke definitely needs to do now. Something he can only do as long as his mother is away. Luke’s father, Uli, is dead. He lost his life in the Christmas tsunami disaster in Thailand in 2004 – while on holiday with his new love, Kim.
Since then, no one has ever spoken a single word about Uli. It’s as though he had been erased. His name is taboo. And Luke desperately needs to find out why. Because at night he is plagued by nightmares and finds himself struggling over and over again with the deadly wave.
When Luke discovers a letter Kim wrote to his mother, he decides to go in search of Kim in the hope of also finding his father in some way.
What awaits him is initially a shock. Kim is a man!
Luke goes wild, gets so drunk he has a mental blackout so that the police take him to the address he keeps on babbling – which is Kim’s. Next morning, Luke freaks out again. Instead of talking to Kim, he lunges at him, wants to hurt him, because he hates Kim so much, blames him for his father’s death. His rage with Uli and with his mother, Anja, is practically devouring him. Who wants a gay father? And why on earth did he bring a child into the world, too? Was it all just a big front? Luke is in despair, but he knows there is only one person who can answer his questions, and that's Kim. Luke manages to overcome his anger and contacts Kim again – and this time finds that he is someone who can tell him about his father. It’s a wonderful feeling, finally having someone he can talk to about Uli, and Luke realises that he was actually the most important person in Uli’s life. And that his father said nothing so as not to lose him.
And when Anja returns from her holiday, Luke confronts her with the truth he has unearthed. His mother is anything but pleased and reacts exactly as Luke had feared: she won’t talk about Uli and she doesn’t want Luke ever to see Kim again.
Luke is faced with a decision - does he want to carry on as before and remain silent for ever more? Or does he want to take action at last?
