Athenaria needs help! Flora and Goldwing are summoned to Featherland by the Owl Rulers. In this secret place they
wait for Mrs Beak, who has been chosen to train a special owl team…which is to include Flora and Goldwing!
Flora is very excited: together with her magic owl Goldwing, she is to be part of a new team. The owl rulers of the
Magical Kingdom have summoned them to Featherland, a hidden place in a mysterious monastery. There they meet
the snowy owl Nordis, the spectacled owl Claro and, of course, Jona, who always tries to compete with Flora. How
will they ever manage to make a team? It’s not long before they are given their first job: during the night of the next
full moon they must help one another to awaken the magic of Featherland – and this proves to be more difficult than
expected. Because suddenly Claro disappears from the face of the earth. And without him, no magic can ever
succeed…
• New look, more owls, bigger adventures. Welcome to Featherland!

Four troublemakers save the school!
Clara, Julian, Felix and Fee must have done something bad, because they are waiting for a severe punishment:
detention. “Detention” is actually the wrong word. In fact their task is to get the school garden into shape, which
includes the fountain with non-stop snapping turtles. But oh, shock horror! First of all, Felix digs up a skull. Then
several suspicious looking men turn up, alleging that they are sports teachers. Could this be the cover-up of a
murder? And what is the grumpy housemaster Kratzek hiding? In order to find out just what is going on at the closed
school, the four detainees must stick together at all costs – and that is the biggest adventure of them all.
• A school story full of comic situations, subtle humour and delicious irony.
• Wonderfully uneducational: four loners who form a team.

The Tilda Advent calendar – full of new pictures and adventures
Every day is lovely in the little village, smugly tucked into the hills, where small and big adventures await its
inhabitants. Tilda, the small mouse who is as white as the flowers of the elder bush, lives in a small apartment in the
parish’s church. Whenever someone is in need of help, she is there – with advice, a nice cup of tea and delicious
cookies. She and her friends – Molly, Robin, Billy and Benny, Eda and Rupert– are inseparable.
There are 24 days to go until Christmas. In the mouse house there is a delicious smell of punch, and Tilda busily hunts
through her pantry: she wants to do some baking. The best of all flavours is still Aunt Emily’s frost-hip jelly. Christmas
can’t come without that. But what a shock! There are no frost hips left! And it’s so difficult to get fresh ones, because
they only grow in the north. Without further ado, Tilda sets off on an exciting journey through the winter forest, and
to the most wonderful Christmas adventures.
• An exciting Christmas tale in 24 chapters.
• Delicious recipe for biscuits.
• An Advent calendar full of adventures and pictures about the enchanting Tilda Appleseed.

A nose on the scent: hunting for a crook in the Acropolis
A classic among detective stories for reading beginners that already sold more than 1 million copies worldwide!
Kwiatkowski, the hero of our series, is a 9-year-old boy whose hobby is to solve crime stories. He constantly chews
chewing gum (but only a certain brand to help him thinking) and never takes off his cap with a huge K (as for
Kwiatkowski). The cap only comes off when he takes a shower; it provides his brain with an adequate operating
temperature that is necessary to solve his many cases.
Private detective Kwiatkowski never fails to solve a case! A trip to Athens? Kwiatkowski can hardly believe his luck
when Olga, an old friend, sends him an invitation. But no sooner has he arrived in Greece than he finds himself
caught up in a very tricky case: a greenhorn detective named Hercules needs his help to expose the handiwork of two
unscrupulous fraudsters. It is a matter of honour that even during his holidays Kwiatkowski must use his superskills.
Soon the two detectives are on the move among the ancient temple walls in their search to solve the mystery of the
goddess Athene’s nose…
• A new case for the most famous detective of all times.
• Jürgen Banscherus brings pleasure to 12,000 children a year with his readings.

The hordes of fans grow bigger with every volume
WOODWALKERS fans’ dreams have come true: the second season of the shapeshifter series is here: SEAWALKERS.
Katja Brandis sets new accents in animal fantasy. Enthralling and with a great sense of humour, the successful author
writes about the breath-taking adventures of being an animal as well as a human being. The success of the
WOODWALKERS series speaks for itself: over 700,000 copies of the series have already been sold and the series has
been on the Spiegel list of bestsellers since volume 2.
The students and teachers at Blue Reef High are worried sick. It’s not just because recently there’s been an influx of
reptile and python shapeshifters who are causing chaos. Now there’s a powerful hurricane building up off the coast
of Florida. Tiago, the shark shapeshifter, the dolphin girl Shari and all their friends decide to escape by swimming out
to the open sea. But will they really be safe there? Quite apart from the hurricane, Tiago has heard some unpleasant
rumours – that some unscrupulous business people are going to organize fights between divers and sharks. Is this
true, and if so, will the Seawalker friends be able to defend themselves?
• Great cooperation with “Bracenet” for a good purpose.
• Since care for the environment and reading WOODWALKERS and SEAWALKERS go together, the whole series is now being
printed on recycled paper.
• Already 250,000 copies sold of the series!

humour, the successful author writes about the breath-taking adventures of being an animal as well as a human
being. The stories about the young shape shifter Carag not only thrill the fans of this popular genre; they also invite

You have never seen the Woodwalkers like this before: find out about the lives of the puma boy Carag and his
shapeshifting friends outside the school walls. The young puma shapeshifter Carag is really looking forward to the
school holidays. He’s going to visit the family of his girlfriend Tikaani for the first time, so that they can celebrate her
birthday together. But before they can head for the far north, they are overtaken by events. First, two self-willed
companions join them, and then Carag receives a call for help from his own puma family. A hostile wolf pack has
taken over their old den close to Clearwater High. There is something not quite right about these wolves. As the
situation becomes increasingly fiery, Carag and Tikaani know they can rely on help from Holly the chipmunk. But will
the three of them be able to save the day?
• A brand new treat for all Woodwalkers addicts.

The second sweet treat for adventurers
Magical sweets and real miracles? Elina has experienced them both in Belony, and now she can hardly wait to dip
deeper into the world of the candy crafters. But it’s not long before a new problem arises, because just before
Robin’s first candy crafting examination, his magic tool goes bust. Old Mr Snotty knows where they can get help, and
he takes Elina and her friends to Bittersweet Avenue. It quickly becomes clear, though, that not all candy crafters are
well disposed towards “ungifted” people. There are also rumours about the return of the mysterious Otherwise
Society, which has tried once before to bring down the mighty Candy Guild. When Mr Snotty suddenly disappears
without a trace, it’s up to Elina, Charlie and Robin to follow the clues he has left behind for them. They soon realize
that there is a reason for his disappearance, because the Otherwise Society is looking for something in particular –
and Elina, Charlie and Robin have the key to this something in their hands…
• The world of the Candy Guild is now bigger and more epic.
