Der fantastische Bus

In the harbor district of Ahnstarr City, despair reigns. One house after another is being demolished, and little Timo is so gravely ill that hope is fading. However, an old myth speaks of the land of Balanka, where the legendary saffron lily grows, said to be able to cure all the diseases in the world. But how does one actually get from point A to point B? Taku, Spir, and Silja have an idea: Why not build a fantastic bus together, with ten wheels, four engines, 18,500 horsepower, and of course, a kitchen, bunks, and cozy blankets? Because in such a bus, the 100,000 kilometers in that direction would fly by. With such a fantastic bus, one could even cross the bridge to the North Pole, travel through deserts and swamps, tundras and steppes, rescue Taku's father, and escape the nasty dictator in the Sad Land. And with the favor of the gods, and if everyone sticks together, little Timo can be saved, and perhaps even the whole world. The fantastic bus is a remarkable book in every way, one that doesn't fit into any category and will fill as much space in your mind after reading as it does on your shelf. A beautiful and adventurous road trip that can be read aloud to children aged 4 and up, but which will also be loved by early readers and young-at-heart adults.
