        by Sibylle Luig (Text) – Ulrike Barth-Musil (Illustrationen)

        Synopsis Two Make Magic is the story of the twin sisters Elli and Idi, who come from an old family of witches. All twin sisters in the Schick family have magical powers - but only when they are together. Together, they control the elements. Elli’s best Element is the air, Idi’s favourite element is the water. Two Make Magic tells the story of two girls, who are powerful as long as they stick together. A story of sisterhood, friendship and family with a magic touch.   Volume 2 Elli and Idi have just turned 11. Idi is about to move to Berlin with her father, when Thomas suggests that Elli should come and visit Idi in her old home. Elli travels to Hamburg with her grandmother Matilda and her twin sister Esther. The two suddenly reappeared in Berlin after having shunned Eva and Matea for ten years, because they had separated the baby witches. The grannies claim they want to help Elli and Idi become real witches, but all they really do is selfish hocus pocus: At Idi’s swimming contest in Hamburg they make her swim way too fast and Idi thinks Elli used her magical powers. She is furious and tells Elli to leave her alone. Thomas too is very angry and says that he will have to rethink moving to Berlin, if the grannies continue to interfere with their lives. Elli is devastated. If that is how the ghastly grannies are going to behave, she will have to get rid of them. Her best friend Philip is there to help her with the new operation. They trick Matilda and Esther into acting against the code of honour of witches, which leads to them losing their magical powers and Idi can safely move to Berlin.

        Schnatzelschnapf – or: How does the world get into my head?

        by Gunnar Kunz

        Life is like a big mystery and you can't get enough of it. At least that's what Krümel finds, who lives in the Threewishforest by the sea. All sorts of strange creatures are at home there: Mr Purzelbaum, who collects tin can labels, Uncle Giggel and Aunt Ziep, who bottle the year, Krümel's friend Hopsa, who knows all about watching clouds, and - oh! - so many others that it is impossible to list them all.Full of enthusiasm, Krümel sets out to discover the world. And the things he finds out in the process! That words can be quite strong, even stronger than fear. That laughter sounds the same in all languages. That memories are something like a map. And when Neenee, the little blue elephant, lies motionless on the window sill, Krümel has to face even the most frightening of all words: dead.But fortunately there is his dad and mum and above all his friend Hopsa, with whom he can talk about everything. Because when you're little, you have an awful lot of questions: Who am I? Why is the sea called sea? Does strawberry ice cream taste the same for everyone? How do you speak foreign language? And above all: What on earth is a Schnatzelschnapf?
