The Magic Pact
The most magical adventure since the discovery of chocolate! Do you believe in magic and miracles? Everyone in the little town of Belony takes magic and miracles for granted – everyone except Elina, who thinks it’s all a load of nonsense.
That is, until her nervous neighbour Charlie happens to get hold of a bar of chocolate that has a very strange effect on her. Suddenly Elina is convinced that Charlie has fallen under a spell. Of all people, it’s shy Robin who comes to the girl’s rescue. He is a member of a Candy Guild family – people who have the ability to create magic sweets that will help others.
This is how he knows that only the mysterious Candy Guild can lift the curse on Charlie. With a suitcase full of magic sweets, the three of them set out on a dangerous quest. Because not everyone keeps to the pact that magic sweets should only be used to do good…
The Candy Guild. The Magic Pact is the first in a new series of magic-fantasy books for children aged 9+ – as enchanting as chocolate and as wild as a Christmas cracker!

Every morning Roy rides excitedly to kindergarten on his horse Desperado. But one day everything is different: the kindergarten has been ransacked, the seesaw is broken and the swing has been torn down.
And as if that wasn’t bad enough, Heidi the kindergarten teacher has been kidnapped by the evil bandit Black Beard! Roy and Desperado set off immediately to follow his tracks in the sand.
As experienced trackers, they find his secret hide- away in no time. But can they free Heidi?
Roy wouldn’t be the bravest rider, and Desperado his most fearless of horses, if the two of them didn’t have a brilliant plan. By combining brainpower and horsepower, they manage to chase Black Beard away and bring Heidi home. What an adventure! Or, as Roy puts it: “just your average day at kinder- garten”.

He talks about colourful ‘labadoons’, playing puppet theatre with Dad, his summer holiday in the mountains with Grandma and Grandpa and how much he hates washing his hair.
He tells us how he gets books out of the library, rides his bike with Mum, and watches seals at the zoo. And he paints a lively picture of the time he played bandits with Enno, baked cookies with Mum and Klara, and ran into his neighbour Mr Smithson.
Soon it’s Oskar’s fourth birthday! Which means he’s totally not a baby anymore and no longer has to take naps at kindergarten. This book features 42 little every- day stories that all preschool kids can relate to.

First of all, you need a great friend you can really rely on. And a mum who comforts and cares for you – even if she’s annoying sometimes. Another crucial item on the most-important-things list is an aunt or grandma who always has time to play.
Every child should have their own room, bed and bike as well as a soft toy or pet animal to cuddle. And they should be able to cook their favourite meal and play an instrument. Christoph Hein also illustrates why discoveries and inventions should be part of every child’s life, and why good stories, tears and being in love are all necessary for perfect happiness.

Everyone in Heartswood is overjoyed when a cute little unicorn is born. But this unicorn is unlike any other. Cute as it looks, it doesn’t behave at all like the fairy-tale creature it is supposed to be.
Its favourite word is “NO” – and all efforts to cuddle it and feed it juicy four-leafed clovers are met with a grumpy “NO!”
So it’s no surprise that one day the unicorn decides to break free of this candyfloss world and seek out its own adventures. On its journey it meets a racoon who never listens, a dog who doesn’t give a damn and a princess who’s always answering back. And they make a great team. Because even being stub- born is much more fun together!

A whole day without getting cross – will the Grumbletroll manage it?
Of course he will! The Grumbletroll makes a bet with his friends. But when they swipe a delicious cake from right under his nose, all he wants to do is scream and stamp his feet.
Then he remembers the bet – and puts the grumblestorm aside. He even manages not to grumble when a frightened crow does a poo on his nose, and when he trips over a branch and falls flat on his face.
But when his friends start laughing at him, he can’t take it any longer. Laughing at people is really mean. Now the Grumbletroll wants to grumble and rumble and thunder and flash with anger. He wants to throw himself on the ground and yell. And that’s exactly what he does! Oh no! Will his friends be able to make it up to him...?

Five years ago, the USA became the Transparent Nations. Its citizens had had enough of impulsive decisions, which had brought their country to the brink of catastrophe.
Now people have finally stopped being judged by their skin colour, gender or religion: instead, they’re judged on whether they are rational or emotional. 16-year-old Skye is convinced she’s a Rational, with a glittering future ahead of her. But that’s not how the new order sees it...
Skye is excited: it’s not long until her Test, which will shape the course of her whole life. The exams at
the test centre are disturbing, and the mysterious Examiner, who keeps flouting the rules to help her out of risky situations, is driving her out of her mind. When a fatal accident happens, Skye’s doubts begin to crystallise: where do the girls who slip down the daily ranking disappear to?
Why doesn’t there seem to be a single Emotional among the boys? To her horror, Skye realises who is supposed to pay the price for the new order in the Transparent Nations: it’s her.

“If you do not behave like an Eagle, you soon be- come prey.” That’s the motto of Bo, Jannik’s older brother. Bo is Jannik’s role model, and inspires the stories that Jannik and his friends re-enact.
“If you do not behave like an Eagle, you soon be- come prey.” That’s the motto of Bo, Jannik’s older brother. Bo is Jannik’s role model, and inspires the stories that Jannik and his friends re-enact.
At first their games are harmless, and winning is not the main aim. But once they become members of the ‘Eagles’, the most important thing is to be strong and to look and act the same. Loni has always been Jannik’s best friend, but now she stands out because her skin is a different colour. Fear spreads quickly – until one day, Loni suddenly disappears. And what was once a game becomes something very serious indeed.

The year is 2099 and it is the most important day of Elaine’s life: she is taking part in the annual vortex race. During this competition, dozens of young peo- ple race around the globe – but not on foot. They move through the vortices that transformed and almost destroyed the world some decades ago. Jumping into a vortex is potentially fatal.
If you manage it, however, the vortex will transport you from one place to another within seconds, like a secret portal. Only the best competitors can beco- me professional vortex runners – something Elaine has aspired to for a very long time. But the moment she succeeds, her allegiances are tested; and the person responsible is a boy who used to be her idol, but who turns out to be completely different from what she’d expected...

A book about environmental activism from a child’s perspective
Samuel is an inventor. For every problem he finds a solution. A dino-transformer, for example, that protects him from an annoying boy called Bela in the playground at school.
But one problem still remains: Kiribati. This far-flung island nation in the Pacific will soon be swallowed up by the steady rise of the sea level. But couldn’t the right invention avert this crisis, too? Samuel is certain something can be done.

A VERY SPECIAL COMBINATION OF A FICTIONAL STORY AND FACTUAL INFORMATION – IN COLLABORATION WITH THE GERMAN BEE INITIATIVE ‘DEUTSCHLAND SUMMT!’
There are many books about bees, but this one is different: it invites children to strike up a personal relationship with Ari the bee through a fictional tale, then combines this with factual information about the life of a honey bee. This opens an emotional door for children, encouraging them to familiarize themselves with a creature we often react to initially with fear. Young (and older) readers will be drawn into Leni and Ari’s exciting story and finally come to understand just how closely connected we all are. The ideal combination of emotional appeal and facts about nature!

The first in a new series of feelgood read-aloud books featuring topics like urban gardening, sustai- nability and the joy of gardening in the urban jungle. Kathy and her parents used to live in Grandma’s apple orchard in the country.
When she and her family move to the big city, it takes her a while to get used to the hustle and bustle, the noise and the sheer number of people. But Kathy wouldn’t be Kathy if her outgoing nature didn’t help her make friends quickly. Together with her new friend, city boy Theo, she explores the city and soon finds the odd green patch even here. Cheerful and true-to-life, the Kathy read-aloud books tell everyday stories that ‘reading- aloud-age’ children can identify with.
They describe a sheltered but not idyllicised child- hood in the city, and everything that comes with it: family life, friendships, kindergarten/school, children’s worries and how we grow through dealing with them. Nature, sustainability and mindfulness play an important role and, in passing, the books touch upon everyday nature-related topics drawn from children’s experiences, such as harvesting apples, setting up a plot to attract snails, planting flowers, insect hotels, etc.
