  • Castles in the air, an owl house and a very effective colour changer – a novel full of fantastic ideas.

Summer holidays with Uncle Henry in Torfheim! Great, hopefully it won't be as boring as it sounds, thinks Wanda. Luckily, she meets a girl on the train who promises to save her from certain death by boredom. But when she arrives at the Torfheim platform, it's not her uncle who is waiting for her, but Grandma Irma and three fluffy poodles. Henry has disappeared, as if swallowed up by the earth. Could one of his many crazy inventions be to blame? Together with her new friend, Wanda sets out to search for clues – and makes an incredible discovery: she can walk through walls! A magical summer full of secrets and adventures lies ahead of her.

“A distinctive voice among the storytellers of this world” -Cornelia Funke
