Dunne hat ein glückliches Leben. Sie kann so viele wunderbare Momente aufzählen: zum Beispiel als sie endlich in die Schule kam. Und als sie dort Ella Frida kennenlernte, die ihre beste Freundin wurde. Seitdem machen sie alles zusammen - auf dem Pausenhof schaukeln, Glanzbilder tauschen, Sonnenuntergänge zeichnen. Doch dann zieht Ella Frida weg. Ohne beste Freundin ist das Leben langweilig, aber eine wie Dunne lässt sich nicht unterkriegen. Und dann kommt eines Tages ein Brief von Ella Frida ...
Obwohl Ella Frida nun schon einige Zeit in Norrköping wohnt, hält Dunne den Platz in der Klasse neben sich frei. Es könnte ja sein, dass Ella Frida zurückkommt! Wie gut wäre das, denn Vicki und Micki sind extrem gemein zu ihr und zwicken und kneifen sie, dass es echt wehtut. Als Dunne sich schließlich wehrt, kommt es zu einer mittleren Katastrophe ... Zum Glück aber hat Dunne ihren Papa, der ihr glaubt. Und zum Glück hat sie all die schönen Erinnerungen an ihren Besuch bei Ella Frida. Wenn sie daran denkt, geht es ihr gleich viel besser. Und plötzlich steht Ella Frida in der Tür!
Als Dunne morgens zur Schule gegangen ist, war noch alles wie immer. Aber jetzt wird das ganze Leben anders. Kurz vor ihren ersten Sommerferien passiert etwas, das Dunnes glückliches Leben erschüttert: Ihr Papa wird von einem Auto angefahren. Jetzt liegt er im Krankenhaus und schläft ganz tief. Dunne möchte nur eines: Papa sehen! Als sie an seinem Bett steht, ruft sie ganz leise, dann immer lauter seinen Namen. Tatsächlich schlägt er seine Augen auf - wenn auch nur für einen Moment. Papa wird wieder gesund werden, muss aber den ganzen Sommer im Krankenhaus bleiben. Da hat Großmutter die Idee, dass Dunne doch mit Ella Frida auf deren Sommerinsel fahren könnte ...

The untold story of five women who fought to compete against men in the high-stakes national air races of the 1920s and 1930s - and won Between the world wars, no sport was more popular, or more dangerous, than airplane racing. Thousands of fans flocked to multi-day events, and cities vied with one another to host them. The pilots themselves were hailed as dashing heroes who cheerfully stared death in the face. Well, the men were hailed. Female pilots were more often ridiculed than praised for what the press portrayed as silly efforts to horn in on a manly, and deadly, pursuit. Fly Girls recounts how a cadre of women banded together to break the original glass ceiling: the entrenched prejudice that conspired to keep them out of the sky. O'Brien weaves together the stories of five remarkable women: Florence Klingensmith, a high-school dropout who worked for a dry cleaner in Fargo, North Dakota; Ruth Elder, an Alabama divorcee; Amelia Earhart, the most famous, but not necessarily the most skilled; Ruth Nichols, who chafed at the constraints of her blue-blood family's expectations; and Louise Thaden, the mother of two young kids who got her start selling coal in Wichita. Together, they fought for the chance to race against the men - and in 1936 one of them would triumph in the toughest race of all. Like Hidden Figures and Girls of Atomic City, Fly Girls celebrates a little-known slice of history in which tenacious, trail-blazing women braved all obstacles to achieve greatness.
Hubert Horatio Bartle Bobton-Trent is back in this hilarious book for ages six and up from the superstar creator of Clarice Bean and Charlie and Lola, Lauren Child.
“These stories are about the days when the Bobton-Trents had it cushy, very cushy indeed.”
The Bobton-Trent seniors certainly know how to make the most of their extravagant wealth – socialising, doing things, buying things and generally being more than a little bit … irresponsible…
Luckily for them, their son Hubert Horatio is an exceptionally intelligent, talented and sensible child.

Her best friend, David, also has a hard life, but he has hope. He's convinced that there's something better hidden beyond the fence surrounding their city and has always suggested escaping together. Olivia has never taken it seriously. But after a failed suicide attempt, her stay in the mental ward leads to a series of suspicious encounters with her mother and a fight at school. Feeling like there is nothing left to lose, she decides to give David's idea a shot.
Despite their poor health and reports of killer beasts, Olivia and David brave the wilderness. The truth they discover there-not just about their society but about themselves-is more astonishing than anything they ever imagined.
