Mein Freund Otto, das wilde Leben und ich (Ungekürzte Lesung)

'Otto hat gesagt, wir sind viel zu brav, und seitdem denke ich über das wilde Leben nach. Und ob er Recht hat. Und was wir tun sollen, falls er Recht hat. Denn falls ja, kann es nicht so bleiben.' Matti und Otto kennen sich schon ihr ganzes Leben, minus drei Wochen. Sie wohnen da, wo andere Urlaub machen - mitten in Berlin. Sie gehen zum Yoga und spielen Klavier. Matti hat die Lachsucht, und Otto kann nicht singen. Alles ganz normal, also. Zu normal?! Eines Tages sehen sie Bruda Berlin auf YouTube rappen und beschließen: Es muss sich was ändern! Eine Großstadt-Kindergeschichte, die von Freundschaft, komischen Lehrern, seltsamen Nachbarn, Immobilienhaien und gefährlichen Gangstern handelt - vom wilden Leben eben!

The Hero Next Door

From We Need Diverse Books, the organization behind Flying Lessons & Other Stories, comes another middle-grade short story collection--this one focused on exploring acts of bravery--featuring some of the best own-voices children's authors, including R. J. Palacio (Wonder), Rita Williams-Garcia (One Crazy Summer), Linda Sue Park (A Long Walk to Water), and many more. Not all heroes wear capes. Some heroes teach martial arts. Others talk to ghosts.
