Und die Welt, sie fliegt hoch

The new novel by bestselling author Sarah Jäger, featuring many illustrations by Sarah Maus.

Summer vacation! Everyone is outside, sitting in ice cream cafés or lounging by the swimming lake. Only fourteen-year-old Juri stays at home, as his favorite place is his room - that's where he feels safe. Just under two weeks before school starts, he receives a message from Ava. They know each other from elementary school, but they haven't heard from each other in years. Ava would love to be with other people at the public pool. But Ava is grounded. "Because of something like that," she says. Although the two couldn't be more different, text and voice messages about yogurt ice cream with raspberry sauce and the worst birthdays soon lead to first confessions. About small secrets and big fears. Until Ava's wild stories shake the trust they have just begun to build.
