Children's & young adult fiction & true stories
The Sky took its Birds and Went Away
by Armin Kaster
Description
The 16-year-old twins Karl and Jim have grown up with Frida, almost like siblings. They spend the holidays with their parents by the sea in Portugal. But nothing is the same as it always was: the innocent friendship of the children is changing, a new form for their relationship has yet to be found. This makes them insecure, frightened and carries the risk of losing the intimate relationship between them altogether. Sexuality has become important, but who wants/does what with whom? On the beach the three meet Lilli, a student, Karl falls in love with. Frida plays with Jim and Karl and is constantly on the edge between sisterly love and sexual coquetry. Secrets, confusion and jealousy keep the teenagers busy even long after they've returned home to Düsseldorf. But finally the transformation succeeds and in the end Karl, Jim and Frida find each other in a new stability: reliable yet independent.

Verlag Jungbrunnen
Verlag Jungbrunnen was founded in 1923. Background was the intention to supply children who otherwise didn’t have access to books with high quality literature. Even though almost 100 years have gone by since then, the aim is still the same: Jungbrunnen produces quality picture books and novels for children and young adults from 2 to 14. Literary style and language, fantasy and craftsmanship in illustrations, universal topics which touch the souls of young people – all those elements unite to extraordinary books, which are entertaining and demanding at the same time. Young people can feel at home in them and have a chance to deal with existential questions in a protected space.
