Eule findet den Beat - mit Gefühl (Musik-Hörspiel)

Auf dem neuen Kindermusik-Hörspiel nimmt Eule das Musizieren selbst in die Hand – oder besser in beide Flügel: Ihr Freund Tausendfüßler schenkt Eule eine Ukulele und so macht sie sich daran, ihr erstes eigenes Lied zu schreiben. Doch wie schreibt man überhaupt einen Song? Schnell erfährt sie, dass Musikmachen ohne Gefühle eher schwierig ist. Eule organisiert ein Konzert mit den Waldbewohnern und lernt dabei, dass Musik die Sprache der Gefühle ist. Auf ihrer Reise zu sich selbst und ihren eigenen Gefühlen trifft sie auf ihre Eichhörnchen-Nachbarn, die als frische Eltern ein Liebes-Duett für ihre Kinder geschrieben haben; sie hört dem erzürnten Igel zu, der wütend über den vermüllten Wald singt; sie ist über den Fleiß der Ameisen und ihr Gemeinschaftsgefühl erstaunt; sie dankt den aufbauenden Worten der freudigen Haselmaus; bestärkt das Murmeltier darin, seine Angst vor Monstern mit einem Song in die Flucht zu schlagen; sie träumt bei Vollmond und melancholischen Klängen mit der traurigen Wölfin; sie bestärkt den schüchternen Dachs, seinen Mut-Hit stolz auf der Bühne zu performen — und schließlich steht sie selbst auf der Bühne, mit ihrer Ukulele vor dem Herzen, und spielt ihr erstes eigenes Lied.

Bryan sarà disposto ad abbandonare la protezione del castello, nonché ad affrontare la spietata Inquisitrice di Morpheus, per porre fine all'escalation di delirio mistico che sta contagiando ogni persona del pianeta, minacciando la struttura stessa del mondo dei vivi e di quello dei morti?

Jamie Goldberg is cool with volunteering for his local state candidate - as long as he's behind the scenes. There's no way he'd ever knock on doors to ask people for their votes…until he meets Maya. Maya Rehman's having the worst Ramadan ever. Her best friend is too busy to hang out, her summer trip is cancelled, her parents are separating and now her mother thinks the solution to her problems is political canvassing - with some awkward guy she hardly knows ...  Going door to door isn't exactly glamorous, but maybe it's not the worst thing in the world.

Middle School's a Drag, You Better Werk!

In this heartfelt and hilarious new novel from Greg Howard, an enterprising boy starts his own junior talent agency and signs a thirteen-year-old aspiring drag queen as his first client. Twelve-year-old Mikey Pruitt--president, founder, and CEO of Anything, Inc.--has always been an entrepreneur at heart. Inspired by his grandfather Pap Pruitt, who successfully ran all sorts of businesses from a car wash to a roadside peanut stand, Mikey is still looking for his million-dollar idea. Unfortunately, most of his ideas so far have failed. A baby tornado ran off with his general store, and the kids in his neighborhood never did come back for their second croquet lesson. But Mikey is determined to keep at it. It isn't until kid drag queen Coco Caliente, Mistress of Madness and Mayhem (aka eighth grader Julian Vasquez) walks into his office (aka his family's storage/laundry room) looking for an agent that Mikey thinks he's finally found his million-dollar idea, and the Anything Talent and Pizzazz Agency is born! Soon, Mikey has a whole roster of kid clients looking to hit it big or at least win the middle school talent show's hundred-dollar prize. As newly out Mikey prepares Julian for the gig of a lifetime, he realizes there's no rulebook for being gay--and if Julian can be openly gay at school, maybe Mikey can, too, and tell his crush, dreamy Colton Sanford, how he feels.

Parked

For fans of Rebecca Stead and Joan Bauer comes a scrappy, poignant, uplifting debut about family, friendship, and the importance of learning both how to offer help and how to accept it. 'A big-hearted novel with characters I wish were my friends in real life.' --Gennifer Choldenko, author of the Al Capone at Alcatraz series Jeanne Ann is smart, stubborn, living in an orange van, and determined to find a permanent address before the start of seventh grade. Cal is tall, sensitive, living in a humongous house across the street, and determined to save her. Jeanne Ann is roughly as enthusiastic about his help as she is about living in a van. As the two form a tentative friendship that grows deeper over alternating chapters, they're buoyed by a cast of complex, oddball characters, who let them down, lift them up, and leave you cheering. Debut novelist Danielle Svetcov shines a light on a big problem without a ready answer, nailing heartbreak and hope, and pulling it off with a humor and warmth that make the funny parts of Jeanne Ann and Cal's story cathartic and the difficult parts all the more moving. 'Insightful [and] touching...Not to be missed.' --Karen Cushman, author of The Midwife's Apprentice 'You won't be able to put it down. Trust.' --ScaryMommy.com 'For readers of Dan Gemeinhart [and] Katherine Applegate.' --The Children's Book Review 'Absorbing and warmhearted.' --Annie Barrows, author of the Ivy & Bean series 'Pertinent....Honest...Uplifting...Fresh.' --PW 'Realistically hopeful...Recommended.' --SLC 'Sharp...Perceptive.' --BCCB 'Utterly of this moment.' --Jack Cheng, author of See You in the Cosmos

Things Seen From Above

A shift in perspective can change everything. This brilliant new novel from the author of The Seventh Most Important Thing celebrates kids who see the world a little differently. April is looking for an escape from the sixth-grade lunch hour, which has become a social-scene nightmare, so she signs up to be a 'buddy bench monitor' for the fourth graders' recess. Joey Byrd is a boy on the fringes, who wanders the playground alone, dragging his foot through the dirt. But over time, April realizes that Joey isn't just making random circles. When you look at his designs from above, a story emerges... Joey's 'bird's eye' drawings reveal what he observes and thinks about every day. Told in alternating viewpoints--April's in text and Joey's mostly in art--the story gives the 'whole picture' of what happens as these two outsiders find their rightful places.
