Maximillian Fly
Summary
The best-selling author of the Septimus Heap series, Angie Sage, delivers a gripping and darkly humorous tale of Maximillian Fly - a human with cockroach features - whose quiet life is upended when he aids two human children in their escape from an oppressive governing power. Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Adam Gidwitz. Maximillian Fly wants no trouble. Yet because he stands at six feet two, with beautiful indigo wings, long antennae, and more arms than you or me, many are frightened of him. He is a gentle creature who looks like a giant cockroach. This extraordinary human wants to prove his goodness, so he opens his door to two SilverSeed children in search of a place to hide. Instantly, Maximillian’s quiet, solitary life changes. There are dangerous powers after them and they have eyes everywhere. But in this gray city of Hope trapped under the Orb, is escape even possible? Maximillian Fly is a masterful story brimming with suspense, plot twists, and phenomenal world building. This compelling novel delves into family dynamics and themes of prejudice, making the case for tolerance, empathy, and understanding.

Die Jungen von Burg Schreckenstein
Summary
Die Schulraumsituation in Neustadt ist unerträglich geworden und es gibt nur eine Lösung: Ein Teil der Schüler muss mit Sack und Pack auf die Burg Schreckenstein umziehen. Das Leben in den alten Gemäuern mit Burgfried, Zugbrücke, Geheimgängen und vor allem der Folterkammer zeigt schnell seinen Einfluss auf die Jungs - sie wollen den ehemaligen Bewohnern nacheifern und stellen eines Nachts ihre Ritterregel auf: "Ich will auf Schreckenstein allzeit fair und ehrlich sein." Als die Schreckensteiner das benachbarte Mädcheninternat Schloss Rosenfels entdecken, wird das Einhalten der Regel jedoch auf eine harte Probe gestellt. Denn die Rosenfelserinnen sind nicht nur höchst streicherfahren, sondern halten auch von der eisernen Ritterregel rein gar nichts...
