Zwei Jungs aus der Vierten schikanieren Joschua, den Freund von Luis. Doch der lässt aus Angst vor den Großen seinen Freund im Stich. Und später lügt Luis auch noch wegen ihm. Genau wie Petrus: Der hat Jesus ebenfalls im Stich gelassen und später geleugnet, ihn zu kennen. Trotzdem ist Petrus der Freund von Jesus geblieben. Ob Joschua nach allem, was passiert ist, immer noch der Freund von Luis sein will?
Die sechsjährigen Zwillinge Lotta und Luis erleben viel in Gottes bunter Welt und lernen ganz nebenbei biblische Inhalte kennen.

Plötzlich ist Oma Lene nicht mehr da. Lotta weint viel und erzählt allen Freundinnen in der Schule, dass ihre Oma gestorben ist. Doch bei Luis wollen keine Tränen kommen. Wie gut, dass die Zwillinge Tante Josi besuchen und ihr viele Fragen über den Tod und die Auferstehung stellen können. Und dann sind da noch die Schmetterlinge, die Luis am Grab von Oma Lene auf einmal Hoffnung geben …
'Tod und Sterben sind schwierige Themen – nicht nur für Kinder. Keine andere Geschichte erforderte eine so umfangreiche Vorbereitung. Was sagt man, wenn jemand stirbt? Wie viel darf man einem Kind zumuten? Welche Fragen beschäftigen die Kinder bei diesem Thema? Und was ist Trauer? All dies versuchen Lotta und Luis in dieser Geschichte vorzuleben.'

Inhalt: Hörgeschichte + Das Lied: 'Du bist nicht allein'.
Paul Fisher sees the world from behind glasses so thick he looks like a bug-eyed alien. But he’s not so blind that he can’t see there are some very unusual things about his family’s new home in Tangerine County, Florida. Where else does a sinkhole swallow the local school, fire burn underground for years, and lightning strike at the same time every day?
The chaos is compounded by constant harassment from his football–star brother, and adjusting to life in Tangerine isn’t easy for Paul—until he joins the soccer team at his middle school. With the help of his new teammates, Paul begins to discover what lies beneath the surface of his strange new hometown. And he also gains the courage to face up to some secrets his family has been keeping from him for far too long.
In Tangerine, it seems, anything is possible.
Montag ist Lottes Lieblingstag. Da holt Oma sie immer vom Kindergarten ab; und sie erleben zusammen eine Menge kleiner Alltagsabenteuer. Sie gehen auf den Flohmarkt; oder machen ein Picknick auf der Wiese. Dort darf man sogar mit den Fingern essen! Besonders aufregend wird es; als Lotte im Schwimmbad zum ersten Mal die große Rutsche runterrutschen will. Aber mit Oma schafft sie das - na klar!
Written by a popular middle-grade author, this heartfelt and important treatment of anxiety and depression centers on a ten-year-old boy who begins to handle his grief after his mother disappears by creating a fantasy narrative of where she’s gone, with the help of a kindly neighbor who survived separation from her father during World War II.
Il romanzo descrive la vita di un gruppo di giovani studenti nella società di oggi in cui sembra prevalere il cinismo e la superficiale ricerca di ciò che gratifica senza impegni e legami duraturi. Anche Gianmarco, il protagonista, vive in questa dimensione ma la sua posizione viene messa in crisi dalla presenza di una ragazza, Cristina di cui Gianmarco finisce per innamorarsi. Nelle varie fasi del controverso rapporto tra i due Gianmarco scoprirà di più se stesso e sceglierà di vivere fino in fondo le situazioni che lo coinvolgono anche affrontando fatiche e dolori piuttosto che condurre una esistenza anestetizzata e vuota. Il romanzo coinvolge il lettore per la sua agile scrittura e per il susseguirsi di colpi di scena che spingono a scoprire il finale della storia.
