by Andrea Schütze, Corinna Jegelka

Treffen sich Langeweile und Aufregung unter einem Baum. Wenn man auf nichts Lust hat, ist alles langweilig. So geht es gerade dem kleinen Schneeleoparden Lao. Am liebsten würde er sich einfach nur irgendwo verstecken statt zu spielen. Nichts kann ihn heute begeistern. Ganz anders geht es dem kleinen Riesenpanda-Mädchen Peng. Alles, aber wirklich alles, ist aufregend. Es gibt ja so viel zu erleben: mit anderen Tierkindern einen Tunnel buddeln, Ball spielen, einen Staudamm bauen. Während Lao einen Ort sucht, an dem sein Papa ihn nicht aufscheuchen kann, muss Peng sich erst einmal ausruhen. Und so treffen sich die zwei ungleichen Tierkinder zufällig am selben Baum. Was passiert, wenn totale Langeweile und andauernder Tatendrang aufeinander treffen? Das finden Kinder und Erwachsene genau in der Mitte dieses Wendebuchs heraus – auf einer extragroßen Doppelseite zum Aufklappen. Fühl in dich hinein und finde heraus, was in dir steckt!

by Yang Peng

There are six different species of alien living on the massive ark that arrives at Earth, settling into orbit around Mars. Onnusabi, Balnicot, Etati, Pauravan, Ruffinati, and Cundisent. While they retain their own cultures and beliefs, they all live together peacefully, and their mission is to explore the universe and share their cultures in peace. But they all share strangely similar myths, and the stories tell of terrible destruction; Planet Eaters and Destroyers of Worlds that ride on the mouths of serpents leaving Armageddon in their wake. The aliens said they came in peace. But who really knows for sure? Lots of humans don’t trust them. Some think they’re probably here to eat us. When Mitzi’s parents got jobs on the giant spaceship, she became the only human kid in a classroom full of weird creatures with tentacles and inside-out mouths. But despite their differences, she’s made three new friends: Boxtop, Angel, and Flemm. And she really wants to believe they like humans as much as they say they do. So when she discovers that all alien cultures share a common myth about giant serpents who destroy planets and wipe out civilizations, she’s determined to find out if the stories have any basis in truth. Maybe they’re just stories. Or maybe, she’ll need to help humanity prepare for the end of the world.

The Lionesses and the Battle for the Green Diamonds

by Yang Peng

Naledi is a normal 12 year old girl living in Maun Botswana —normal, that is, until the day Oratile, her bully at school, notices the three scars she has on her arm, scars she got on the day her mother died. Oratile recognizes those scars because she has them too! But how can that be? Slowly the truth about what those scars mean is revealed—Naledi, just like Oratile, is one of the Lionesses, secret female superheroes fighting to keep Earth and its people safe from evil. Her mother gave her those scars as she was dying so that she could pass her Lioness powers to Naledi. Meanwhile, Sheridan, Naledi’s best friend, has uncovered a secret group of scientists working in Maun, the SES, who are working on Earth’s most pressing problems. They’ve developed a forever-energy-producing object, a green diamond, which can solve all of Earth’s energy needs. It seems like a good thing, but if it gets into the wrong hands it could be a very big problem. Unfortunately, the wrong hands are on their way to Earth for that very reason. Naledi quickly starts learning how to be a Lioness but the time is short because evil is coming! That evil is in the form of Verril, an alien leader from the planet Kepler C, who has a single objective: to take over the entire Universe. The problem is Verril needs energy to power her superweapons that will ensure in battle she and the Keplerians will always be the victors. She is coming to Earth to get the forever-energy producing green diamonds. If she’s successful, the end of The Universe, including Earth, will not be far behind. The Lionesses are the only ones who can stop Verril from getting the green diamonds. Naledi will risk nearly everything to keep the green diamonds out for Verril’s evil hands…the question is: will that be enough to save the Universe?
