        Straight Ahead

        by Emmanuelle Rey

        Mauve, Tito and Diamond have been walking along the highway, under the scorching July sun, for the past three days. It was Mauve who decided everything, on a whim, when she realised that this time, her mom had really messed up. And, at fifteen, it was out of the question to be separated from her eight and two-year-old brothers to live with yet another rotten foster family. So the three siblings leave Montpellier and their chaotic life, closely tailed by the police. They leave to find Thierry and Martine, whose smiles and ratatouille chicken Mauve remembers fondly. They start walking straight ahead to Marseille and La Pointe Rouge, with the hope of a new life. Straight Ahead follows the singular path of Mauve and her two brothers, filled with life-altering adventures and realistic characters. Furthermore, in a series of flashbacks, Mauve tells us all about her mother—an eccentric woman who certainly doesn’t seem able to take care of her children, but who is full of love for them nonetheless. • The complexity of a mother-child relationship, when a mother’s love isn’t enough to make up for her shortcomings • The unique bond between siblings that will help them deal with life on the road • Interesting encounters and experiences — good and bad — that teach valuable life lessons

        Leni, Pig and the other One

        by Helga Bansch

        Everybody focuses on the other one since he was born. The parents constantly have to take care of him and therefore they have very little time for Leni. She would like to exchange the new brother because he is too small to play with and one can’t do much else with him either. It is a good thing that Leni has Pig, who holds her ears shut when the little one cries and her nose when he stinks. Pig listens to Leni's stories and travels with her to foreign countries. When Leni makes a bold parachute jump from the tree and sprains her ankle, she must not get up for a while. So Pig plays “pulling faces” with her. The other one lies in his cot beside them and actually pretends to participate. Maybe his time will come?

However, the Christmas Elf lost all the presents and is in dire need of help. Together with Linus’ dog Curve, they set out to find them – and meet a very curi-ous being with a compelling offer: There might be a big surprise waiting for Linus and Amelie, if they manage to agree on something for once … Could this Christmas actually be saved?
