Hammer Fitness Stars in the head and an incredible plan

When eleven-year-old Lama's mother leaves for Morocco to trace her roots, the girl feels abandoned. All the more so because her friend has also moved away. That's the only reason why this stupid thing could happen, because of which now nobody in Lama's class wants to have anything to do with her anymore. She becomes the most unhappy girl in the world. Even her father, little brother Bali and her cool writer uncle Safran can do little to change that. But then she finds an old book on the street, on the cover a girl who looks amazingly like her. It's Irmgard Keun's novel, The Girl the Children Weren't Allowed to Consort With. This book and a strange boy from the neighbouring house help her to gain a new perspective on the situation. Lama takes courage and makes a bold plan to bring her mother home! Andrea Karimé makes the reading of a book the driving force of the action. Her heroine, sensitive to the sound and imagery of language, finds more than comfort here: the book becomes a means of insight for her and a motor for her own actions.
