The great emperor is very impressed with Albert’s fighting skills and hires him as a bodyguard for his next military campaign. What a good thing Max Punk, Albert’s rat, is there with him and has brought along his futuristic high-tech rat pack, too.

Lagemann, Franziska (Written by) Kister, Kristina (Illustrated by)

  • A headstrong protagonist in the tradition of Pippi Longstocking.
  • Dark, quirky and with a fantastic, sometimes slightly macabre humour.
  • An imaginative adventure which offers an unusual take on the topic of death.

As a child, twelve-year-old Odette was given a magic rattle by her great grandmother Eloise, who was rather too fond of experiments. Since then, Odette has had necromantic powers, and can bring people back from the dead and control them. Thus she chooses to spend most of her time with her dead friends at the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. This Halloween, she plans a huge party for them all. Alas, she’s not the only necromancer there as the nefarious Dark Brotherhood have snuck into the cemetery and they've chosen Halloween of all nights to try to achieve world domination! Odette has to pull out all the stops to defend the cemetery and have her party…

Naoura, Salah (Written by) Jeschke, Stefanie (Illustrated by)

Peace, joy and gold in the garden? One day, the family discovers Gran Cordula, Mummy’s mother from the old peoples’ home, suddenly standing on the doorstep. She turns the family’s idyll into chaos and declares that there's a treasure buried in the garden. And while Henrik gaily sets about digging, initially earning mocking smiles from his mummy, daddy and sister, hole by hole, they all start secretly digging themselves. At some point, even the city authorities and neighbours turn up at the fence with their spades. There really must be something worth finding here. A warm-hearted and slightly zany family story by Salah Naoura.

« With subtle humour, acute dialogues and a grandmother who turns everything upside down, Salah Naoura skilfully delivers a family's normality into the realms of the absurd. As the family members greedily dig for gold, their standards, certainties and relationships shift and need to be redefined. Naoura has a talent for presenting difficult topics in light-hearted guise. » Excerpt from the jury’s assessment for the book’s nomination for the 2014 German-French Children’s Literature Award.

“A fast-paced and very funny story with a charm that will captivate you from the very first page. Salah Naoura combines shrewd observations, zeitgeist and thoughtfulness to create an highly entertaining whole.”
