Llinàs Duran:Neun wilde Ballerinen

A bunch of girls against the rest of the world! Fast-paced storytelling and wonderfully wild illustrations. They dance all over everyone’s noses.

These eight future ballerinas are anything but pink, sparkly, and sugary sweet: they have a lot of tricks up their sleeves! Luckily, because Marianne, Rose, Margaret, Diana, Mary, Emmy, Victoria, and Lizzie live in an orphanage under the supervision of a truly nasty headmistress. Especially Marianne has all sorts of ideas on how they can stand up to her, and eventually, she and the other girls manage to scare the headmistress away. But is her successor really any better? Can they trust someone who drags them into ballet? And much more importantly: why has that thieving bear gang suddenly set its sights on their home?

Reading material for everyone: funny, quick-witted, encouraging, and completely free of clichés. Ideal text-image ratio: also well-suited for weaker learners and readers.
