have you dreamed of your toys coming to life during your childhood? For Juri, this dream comes true! His grandfather and he share a secret together with THE DINORINOS (p. 24/25), who are proof that their kind has surely not died out yet. But no one else can know about that! Story Time books have become a huge success on the German book market. We proudly introduce two new characters for the whole family this spring: GLORIA GLOWWORM (p. 3) and ZORRO THE PUG (p. 19). Accompany them on their adventures out and about – while Gloria is the first female Glow-worm who learns how to fly, Zorro becomes a true super hero in the Fearsome Forest! LUCIFER JUNIOR (p. 52/53) however still lacks some super abilities. His father, the devil, is the boss of Hell and not yet convinced that his son is ready to take over the company soon. When Lucy becomes a pupil of a boarding school on earth, the fun for the reader begins. Another exchange student adventure is set in the Swiss Alps, where Melinda McGoldshoe from the Scottish Highlands learns how to spook properly and finally causes a 5 STAR SPOOK IN THE CASTLE HOTEL (p. 43). Mechthild Gläser’s new YA novel EMMA, THE FAUN AND THE FORGOTTEN BOOK tells the story of an immortal Jane Austen, whose legacy – the forgotten book – makes dreams come true. Literally. Yet, not everyone is aware of being careful about what they wish for… Let yourself be enchanted by our many new books in Spring 2017! Your Loewe Foreign Rights Team

SOCIAL VALUES
Ethical living, ethical reading The green book brand for the whole family The Nature Child series deals with themes affecting many young families today. The books look at values such as tolerance, social engagement, sustainability and a slower pace of life, and how fundamental these things are to peaceful coexistence. They also explore our desire to be in touch with nature, to live in harmony with it, and to protect and preserve it.
The environmentally friendly concept of the Nature Child books is reflected in their strict manufacturing guidelines. And above all, of course, the books are child-friendly. The Nature Child series is full of cheerful, thought-provoking stories to be read aloud or independently. Boys and girls aged two to ten will love looking at the colourful illustrations and photographs. Simple recipes and art and craft ideas encourage children to get creative, and provide hours of fun and enjoyment.

After all, everybody knows pandas are black and white – and enormous. After a while, even Pai is no longer sure where he really belongs. And how is he ever going to find his way home if he can’t answer that question? This is not exactly the kind of adventure he had in mind... A picture book story about how you can never truly be lost if you know who you belong with. Rights sold (series): Romanian, Russian

Zorro lives a quiet life in Little Dozington – but not by choice. He longs to be a hero, and would much rather be out having adventures than lying around in his little house, eating from his golden bowl. But all of a sudden, things start disappearing from Little Dozington: first his friend Hamsterina’s special spanner goes missing, then a cushion belonging to his old neighbour Bernhardinovich. Zorro feels sure that there must be a band of thieves at work – and sees his chance to have a real adventure!

uten Morgen, mein Schatz“, sagte die Mama, nachdem Pfeffer sie geweckt hatte. „Das ist der allerletzte Sonntag in deinem Leben, bevor die Schule losgeht.“ Pfeffer rannte zum lila Monster, das in seinem Bett hockte. Es sah zerzaust und ramponiert aus. Pfeffer fiel ihm um den Hals und versprach, es nie mehr alleine zu lassen. Der Tag leuchtete blau und klar. Keine Wolke war am Himmel und die ersten Äpfel fielen von den Bäumen. „Möchtest du mit mir im alten Fluss schwimmen gehen?“, fragte der Papa. „Wir könnten mit dem Fahrrad fahren.“ „Tut mir echt leid, Papa, aber ich hab noch was Dringendes zu erledigen, du weißt schon, die Schule und so“, sagte Pfeffer. „Klar. Kein Thema. Versteh ich, mein Großer.“ Am Mittag würden alle Omas und Opas kommen und es würde Pfeffers Lieblingsess en geben: Pizza mit allem. Bis es so weit war, schuftete er mit Paula und Olli im Baumhaus. Sie dichteten ein Gedicht. Sie komponierten ein Lied. Sie malten
ein Plakat. Und noch viele Dinge mehr. Sie mussten sich beeilen, um mit allem fertig zu werden. Von der Pizza kriegte Pfeffer kaum einen Bissen runter. „Ist halt alles ein bisschen viel“, sagte die Mama und strich ihm über den Kopf. Zuerst dachte er, dass es schwer werden würde, nach dem Essen abzuhauen, aber seine Eltern erlaubten ihm an diesem Sonntag alles, was er wollte. Vielleicht sollte er sich ein Pferd wünschen. Das würde er dann Paula schenken. Und einen Swimmingpool. Den würde er behalten.

Jona is seventeen, quicker and more intelligent than his peers. But he also has a talent for making himself unpopular. Jona responds to this rejection in his own way, spying on his jealous peers using his own personal surveillance device: a drone. It’s small, quiet, equipped with a high-resolution camera, and capable of tracking down anyone Jona has a mobile number for. Jona films everything that passes before the camera lens, collecting other people’s secrets so he can use them against them when the time is right. But some of these secrets are more dangerous than they first appear. Knowing even a fraction of them can prove fatal, and soon there is mounting evidence that somebody is out to kill Jona … Drones, surveillance, manipulation – bestselling author Ursula Poznanski deftly weaves highly topical themes into her new thriller.

A question to Ursula Poznanski Raoul Bornheim, a character in your new book LAYERS, holds the radical moral concept that it is legit to harm individuals for the benefit of society. Where does this idea descend from? The basic idea that public welfare precedes individual good can be traced back to Aristotle. Now, this idea is interpreted by Bornheim in a way that clearly overstates the case. All the more as only he personally defines public welfare in a highly arbitrary way.

A gripping thriller with a powerful voice and an original narrative perspective Strong characters who keep the reader hooked Surveillance and manipulation are the underlying themes of this book, which tackles the explosive subject of data deluge and viral news. How can we tell what is true and what isn’t? Day after day, Zafer sits at his computer editing images for a TV soap opera. He never leaves the house, and has all his meals delivered. One day Zafer is sent an anonymous commission: his task is to airbrush a man out of a piece of surveillance footage.
Margit Ruile first learnt how to tell stories when she was working in film. She studied and taught at the Munich Film Academy, made a number of documentaries and worked as a script editor. Later on, she realised that writing felt just like sitting in the cutting room – but with the enormous advantage of not having to go back and film the missing scenes because you can simply make them up! © Elias Hassos
While out for the first time in weeks, looking for a takeaway place, he meets a girl called Emily, a street musician. Zafer is fascinated by her. Emily works as a hacker for the underground organisation Dark Noise. Dark Noise’s mission is to fight surveillance. Zafer soon realises he is working for a murderer, and covering for a dangerous organisation. This organisation has developed a code with which they are able to falsify photographic images. And that gives them the power to deceive, blackmail and manipulate the entire world...

A black panther turns up in a small town, terrifying the local residents. Only Nina is able to get close to the animal.

GUIDES
More topical than ever before! Short, self-contained chapters There are currently over 50 million refugees in the world Complex issues are explained in a clear and relevant way Asylum seekers, the refugee crisis, people traffickers, maximum limits – young people are being bombarded with increasing amounts of information. And many of them are finding it increasingly difficult to understand the complex issue of migration and the mammoth task of integration, and to form their own political opinions. Journalist Christine Schulz-Reiss explains how the phenomenon of political and economic migration has developed throughout history; how, whether, and why a country can integrate foreign migrants; how to comprehend the many tragic stories we hear about individual asylum seekers – and what all of this has to do with our own lives.
