Die unglaublichen Abenteuer des Barnaby Brocket

The Courage to Be Different A wonderfully imaginative parable by John Boyne, the author of "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" – not just for children. The Brockets are an absolutely normal family – except for Barnaby. Because he floats! And as much as he would like to stop, he can't. On a fateful day, the unimaginable happens: Barnaby floats away, higher and higher into the sky. Thus begins a magical journey through a world where Barnaby experiences the most peculiar adventures. He meets a series of quirky and lovable friends. And in the end, he realizes that he doesn't want to be as normal as his parents: he is glad to be different.
