Congratulations Lieselotte –
On 10 years of picture book fun!
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Welcome to our Rights List Spring 2016!
We are very pleased to inform you of all that is new this season:
First of all, we celebrate our Lieselotte’s 10th anniversary with a particularly gorgeous new birthday edition
in picture book. Liliane Susewind and the Dino Wheelies are also back with brand-new stories; and
there are other compelling sequels as well as exciting new stand-alones. Meet Luna-Lila, for example – the
perfect (imaginary or not?) companion a girl might have … or the Hempels – a little people with great
hearts (and somewhat peculiar appetites).
>>Eagerly anticipated: A new story with
the most popular picture book cow
>>Birthday: A favourite topic in picture
books
In YA/All Age, there is the long awaited finale of Kay Meyer’s trilogy “The World’s Pages” – “The Blood Book”.
Last but not least, we are pleased to present very special non-fiction books (watch out for “Vegan – the
Why and Wherefore”) as well as new board books and educational titles to you. In short, there is something
for everyone on this list – and we would be happy to provide you with special recommendations!
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any query you might have. We would also be delighted to see you
at the Bologna Book Fair: You will find our stand in Hall 30, B39.
With kindest wishes, your FISCHER Foreign Rights team in children’s books:

Lieselotte is looking forward to her
birthday party with all of her friends. But
everything remains strangely quiet. Is no
one making preparations? The farmer’s
wife has not baked a cake, the garden is
not decorated and the chickens are busy
doing other things.
Does nobody remember that it’s her birthday? Sadly, she gathers together some
candles, puts on last year’s birthday hat
and secretly takes some biscuits from
the kitchen. All on her own, she wanders
down to the stream. But what’s that?
All her friends are waiting there for her
to congratulate her. The day turns into a
fabulous party!

Finally you can do jigsaw puzzles with
Lieselotte! There are five different ones:
one with funny images of the farm, of
Lieselotte with a bathing cap, Lieselotte
as a nurse and, of course, Lieselotte as
post cow. Lieselotte is certainly very
special!

One smelly story!
I’m big. I’m brave.
I’m on my way.
>>About children’s biggest wish: An own pet
>>Every child goes through the phase of finding farting hilarious
7
>>A turbulent family story with poignant
and funny illustrations
>>Crackling picture book fun for spoilt
little princes and their families.
It’s Prince Emil’s birthday. Will he finally
get a pet? After an extra big portion of
crackling pea puree and three golden
mugs of hot chocolate for breakfast, something is mightily bubbling in his belly.
With a long toot, a fart escapes him. Oops!
Bo is very angry. He tore his shoelace,
one of his action figures has disappeared
and now there is broccoli (!) for lunch.
That’s it! Bo is moving out. –
His tent is lopsided but Bo doesn’t care.
It’s getting dark and cold but he still
doesn’t care. But hang on, what was that
rustling noise? His sister is moving out
as well (!!) and crawling into his tent.
Even Mum and Dad are coming. That’s it!
Bo is going back into the house. –
Unfortunately, Emil then gets nothing but
boring presents: a remotely controlled
castle ghost, a fully automatic monstermolecular-knight-robot – even though all
he wants is a pet! The prince is not happy
at all. And his farts become increasingly
loud and stinky. A big cloud of stinky farts
floats outside and directly hits a flying
tyrannosaurus shriex. It passes out and
drops down right in front of the prince.
There it is, the mega strong pet he has
been wishing for!
Suddenly the doorbell rings. And who is
waiting in front of the door? The entire
family …
Bernd Kohlhepp pointedly sets the right
tone and convincingly tells the story of a
little hero on his way to growing up.

Molly never wants to say “baa” but always and only

already tried everything to teach her how to baa. But
Molly simply finds “moo” so much more beautiful.
When Kurtie, the calf from the neighbouring farm,
loses his mum, Molly is right there with her loud
moo. And suddenly everyone is terribly happy that
Molly speaks a ‘foreign language’.

Luna-Lila is the very best friend Wilma
could have wished for: Luna-Lila has tons
of crazy ideas, is not afraid of anything
and is – despite her allergy to pink – a true
princess. The absolute best about LunaLila is: She lives in Wilma’s room! That
no one except Wilma can see her, well …
that’s actually not a bad thing sometimes.
Together, Wilma and Luna-Lila will show
the mean class bullies Ulli and Olli who
is in charge here at school.

children’s book which all little girls will

Meet Mrs. “Dragon”!
Is that dust
or the Hempels?
>>Is someone who seems bad really a bad person?
>>An emphatic and funny story about a pupil-teacher
relationship
>>Humorous, exciting, fast-paced story
>>Invisible friends
>>A story about friendship with endearing
characters
Every Thursday is dragon day. On
Thursdays, Jakob has to carefully crochet
horrible chain stitches. On top of that,
there is the grumbling of the handicrafts
teacher, Mrs. Dragon, who does credit to
her name! One Thursday, a huge row is
threatening: Jakob has secretly brought
his rat to school. And of all lessons, it
chooses the dragon hour to go off and do
some exploring on its own. That’s sure to
go well!
Dust? Fluff? Bread crumbs? Grains of
sand? No! Hempels! Hempels are thumbsized people dressed in blue. They take
the shape of their surroundings when
they do not move. And they love cucumbers of all kinds.
One of the Hempels becomes Jakob
Herzberg’s invisible friend. He encourages Jakob and is always there for him.
Jakob can absolutely rely on him. Therefore, it is understood that Jakob leaves no
stone unturned to rescue his little friend
from terrible difficulties.
It is a story with endearing characters
and it will certainly make you hesitate
next time you do the hoovering: Is that
dust or the Hempels?

Berlin in the 1930s: Erwin Brackmann and his friend Paul Richter are members of a backstreet gang that are thick as thieves.
With an atmospheric language and true to life, Lisa Tetzner tells
the story of how the children have to work hard for a football but
almost go to prison, and how they admit a girl from the frontbuilding to the gang – against all their principles.
“An exciting graphic novel with dark images that resemble
woodcut prints.” Die Zeit

Captain Lollebacke and
the Swimming Landlubber
Cruelty, poverty and exploitation – that’s what boys suffered
from, when they risked their lives as chimney sweeps in the 19th
century in Milano. Lisa Tetzner’s famous novel “The Black Brothers” tells their story. The expressive images by the Swiss artist
give an unbelievable, unique effect to the story and fascinate
readers and critics.
The story of Robinson Crusoe is one of the most enthralling
adventures of world literature – and one of the classics of
children’s literature. More than 200 years ago, Johann David
Wyss created a robinsonade for children which became
an international success. Instead of the lonely Robinsons,
with Wyss, a Swiss family of six runs ashore and, with many
years of work, turns the island wilderness into a comfortable domicile. When finally there is the chance to return
to civilization, the family has to make up their mind: Shall
they – once again – leave everything behind?
When Piet wakes up one morning, he discovers small wet footprints on his
bed – and indeed, from the painting that he painted the night before with his
uncle, a real pirate captain has sprung into his room: Captain Lollebacke!
Captain Lollebacke urgently needs help because his enemy, the Nasty Gerd,
has seized his pirate ship and is now searching for Lollebacke’s treasure …
Henry and this Thing
with the Bear
Nine-year-old Henry and his parents have moved to the country. Now he
misses his friends and his football team. When the new team does not want
him, he simply invents owning a pet bear. When all excuses don’t help
anymore and the children from his class finally want to see the bear, Henry
is flabbergasted when, all of a sudden, a bear lumbers around in his garden.

A modern classic by the acclaimed author Gudrun Mebs: the deeply affecting story of a young girl’s longing to be loved and cared for will touch all
who read it.
The title won the German Youth Literature Award in 1984.
Mr. Kubin invented the broom, the clothesline and the umbrella. Not very
many people know this. Beautiful Agatha doesn’t know it either, which is
a great pity, indeed: After all, it was only for the love of her, that Mr. Kubin
made all these inventions. But since he is not only very much in love with
her, but also rather shy, he doesn’t dare to speak to Agatha. Timur decides
to take the bashful inventor by the hand and help him win his love.

As white as snow, as red as blood: In the
middle of the night, a whispering voice
lures Sira into the forest. There, she encounters Turak, the son of the Snow Elves’
King, with whom she falls head over heels
in love. It is also Turak who tells her that
she is half human, half elf herself. Sira
does not have the slightest idea yet that
she is the only one who can save Turak
from certain death, for the kingdom of
the elves is at war. And Turak’s worst
enemy has already thought up a devilish
plan.
Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s
Dream” is supposed to be performed at
a school. The drama group soon realizes
how current this play about the trials and
tribulations of love, betrayal and intrigue
still is today: Imperceptibly, the action
of the play and the fate of those involved
get more and more intertwined …
In a very special way, Tanya Lieske manages to show the modernity and eternal
significance of Shakespeare’s subject
matter and motifs in her novel for young
adults!
A novel for the romantics amongst the
readers of fantasy: Good fights Evil and
strong emotions surmount all difficulties.

Eating and living as a vegan is in fashion:
A growing number of people worldwide
are following and practising veganism.
Among them are many teenagers and
young adults. But why is that? Is it only
about health and lifestyle, or is there
more to it? Do animals also have a right
to a life in dignity and freedom?
Children love records. Even better when
these are spine-tingling records of the
body, for example the amount of earwax
a person produces during their life or the
number of bathing pools a child can fill
with their urine.
The renowned journalist and animal
rights activist Hilal Sezgin convincingly
and emphatically presents the reasons for
living as a vegan and gives an insight
into a world in which animals are no longer subjects to humans but in which their
lives are respected and cherished.
