Sophie's prospects for the summer holiday were more than
boring just now: Her mother thinks that a daughter from a good
family must practice piano, ballet and mathematics on holiday,
as well. But then the strangest things happen ... The new piano
teacher defi nitely has no clue about music and Sophie's dog
Strichpunkt (Semicolon) suddenly acts more than odd! When
Strichpunkt disappears and the crazy neighbours are even
weirder than Sophie would ever have imagined, the most
magical, exciting and crazy summer of all times begins for her.

THE LEGENDS OF ANDOR
Terrible things are happening in the land of Andor. The Gors are attacking
the inhabitants of the Watchful Forest relentlessly and cruelly and plun-
der the archive at the tree of songs. Cavern, the kingdom of the dwarfs,
is also beset by a dark power. Archer Chada sets out all by herself to ask
King Brandur for help. Who or what is behind all these attacks? Will Chada
ever reach Rietburg Castle? And what do the mysterious lines in the long-
forgotten legend mean? A desperate struggle against the evil powers who
endanger the peace of Andor begins for Chada and her companions.

Finally summer holidays! Wakeboarding and camp fi res at the lake –
just the right thing for Marla after the stress with her jealous ex-
boyfriend. And when the good-looking Keno shows up, too, the summer
seems perfect. But suddenly strange things happen in the holiday set-
tlement: Tyres are punctured, a voodoo doll hangs in front of Marla's
house and Keno's younger brother behaves ever more strangely. Might
Marla's jealous ex be behind the attacks? Or the people from the lake,
who are not at all happy that Marla is now with Keno? By the time
Marla learns the secret, it's almost too late ...

Even the littlest ones are fascinated by animals and plants in
their surroundings. These four guides convey pleasure in local
animals and plants by using large-format illustrations that form
the centre of each page. Based on the detailed drawings, the
different species can be easily recognized.
A strong pictorial language is important for this young target
group. The pictures are accompanied by brief captions and a
short informative text. To encourage active engagement, stickers
and explorer pages complement the product.
Four colouring pages at the end of each title invite children to
colour the animals and plants according to their own taste.
