So ein mittelalterliches Kloster verbirgt viele Geheimnisse hinter seinen dicken Mauern. Wunder geschehen, Bücher werden gestohlen, und weltliche Mächte schmieden ihre Ränke. Froben, der jüngste der Brüder, sieht und weiß mehr als so manch anderer - und mehr, als gut für ihn zu sein scheint. Denn es gibt Menschen, die nicht beobachtet und nicht ertappt werden wollen. So gerät Froben nicht nur in ein spannendes Abenteuer hinein, sondern auch in große Gefahr ... Wieder schafft Günther Bentele es, in diesem Hörbuch ein aufregende Geschichte aus der Geschichte zu erzählen, einen Mittelalter-Krimi für große und kleine Hörer ab 8 Jahren. So wird dieses faszinierende Zeitalter anschaulich und lebendig - und ganz nebenbei lernt man auch noch viel dabei: über die Klöster, über die Regel des heiligen Benedikt von Nursia oder über die politische und kulturelle Bedeutung der Klöster.-
From the author of Cog and Voyage of the Dogs, Weird Kid is a hilarious and heartfelt homage to everyone who feels like they don’t belong. Perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Stuart Gibb.
Jake Wind is trying to stay under the radar. Whose radar? Anyone who might be too interested in the fact that he has shapeshifting abilities he can’t control. Or that his parents found him as a ball of goo when he was a baby.
Keeping his powers in check is crucial, though, if he wants to live a normal life and go to middle school instead of being homeschooled (and if he wants to avoid being kidnapped and experimented on, of course).
Things feel like they’re going his way when he survives his first day of school without transforming and makes a new friend. But when mysterious sinkholes start popping up around town—sinkholes filled with the same extraterrestrial substance as Jake—and his neighbors, classmates, and even his family start acting a little, well, weird, Jake will have to learn to use his powers in order to save his town.
