Summer holidays, and everyone is leaving for vacation – except Juri. Spontaneously, he decides to travel to the village of his father with whom he has not had much contact so far. His father may advocate strange conspiracy theories but the life he leads with his friends is fascinating, too: They hunt, go fishing, and there is a bunker with all kinds of technical gadgets – that is kind of amazing! And there is also Jule with whom Juri spends the evenings at the lake …
But are his father and his comrades really only harmless oddballs? When Juri finally asks himself that question, it is almost too late. Weirdos, preppers, public enemies, troublemakers with incendiary remarks, weapon fanatics, right-wing extremists? The phenomenon Reich Citizens takes many different shades of meaning.
Martin Schäuble used the results of his extensive research and intensive conversations with members of that political scene and turned them into a captivating novel for young adults.
