Erich Kästner's view of childhood meets Wolfgang Herrndorf‘s dynamism – ​ Martin Muser creates a rare piece of new German children's literature

When Finn travels by train to Berlin for the very first time, someone robs his rucksack. To make matters worse, the conductor throws him out of the train in the middle of nowhere. Lucky for the reader, because that’s just the moment when Finn’s journey gets truly exciting… he meets the quick-witted Jola who “knows the way”, they capture a tractor, sleep in the woods and have an encounter with a wolf. Eventually he wins a true friend and gets back his robbed rucksack.
