                                            ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR
                                            Stefanie Dahle was born 1981 in Schwerin and spent countless hours looking at
                                            picture books and painting the walls of her room since she was a child. At the
                                            Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, she studied illustration – and today she
                                            creates her own imaginative and beautiful picture book worlds that let the reader
                                            spend many hours day-dreaming. Since 2007 she has been working exclusively
                                            for Arena Publishing House.

                  TILDA APPLESEED. A MAGICAL PICNIC IN AN ENCHANTED GARDEN

                  Tilda Appleseed can hardly believe it: Hedgehog Rupert is researching the history of the little
                  village between the hills, and apparently an ancestor of the elderflower-white church mouse,
                  named Anselm Appleseed, was a nasty knight! Together with Molly the Mail-Mouse, Tilda
                  sets out on his trail – and after a delightful picnic she suddenly wakes up in an enchanted
                  garden where knights and damsels are roaming around. Will they be able to tell Tilda
                  anything about Anselm Appleseed?

                       It’s rotten luck! A boy from Lilli’s drama group has hurt his foot. Leon is desperate to play the
                      part of the elf. However, he doesn’t know the first thing about elves. Obviously what is needed
                       is a visit from some real elves. But Lilli has hardly bewitched them into coming when the two
                      magical beings start playing all kinds of tricks. Suddenly one of them disappears without a
                      trace, taking Leon with her. Will Lilli be able to find them in time?

                       A CASE FOR KWIATKOWSKI. MILK CARTON ALARM (VOL. 27)
                       What a disaster! Kwiatkowski’s favourite milk tastes of mango and caramel. Who could have
                       interfered with the milk cartons from the supermarket? Clearly there is something fishy going
                       on here. Especially as the manager of the supermarket can only come up with the flimsiest of
                       excuses. A famous private detective will certainly not allow himself to be fobbed off like this!
                       And so very soon Kwiatkowski finds himself entangled in a mysterious case which requires all
                       his great skills...

                                    FLORA
                                    Flora just moved with her parents and her little brother to a small village
                                    called Fir Creek. There she is the new girl in school with all its ups and
                                    downs. It’s hard to make friends at first, but then, she befriends Miri who
                                    loves horse riding as much as Flora does. Apart from that Flora loves the
                                    country side, the nearby forest and its hidden castles. Her life changes in a
                                    magical way when she meets the little owl Goldwing. Only together, they
                                    can help animals and humans in need.

                          ABOUT THE AUTHOR
                          Ina Brandt studied German literature and went on to work as an editor for
                          several years before she became a freelancing author. Since then she has
                          published numerous children’s books. By creating Owl Magic, she fulfilled
                          herself an old dream that a small tawny owl in her garden inspired in many
                          nights. The author lives near Stuttgart with her husband and her two
                          daughters.

                          ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR
                          Irene Mohr was born in Hamburg and studied graphic design at the
                          Hamburg College of Design. Since then she has worked as an illustrator and
                          graphic designer for various children’s book publishers. She established a
                          drawing school in her art studio and gave courses for children and adults for
                          many years. When she isn’t illustrating any books, she likes to be outdoors –
                          not accompanied by an owl but rather by paint brushes and an easel.

                   in a mysterious monastery...

                                       Alice Pantermüller had always wanted to become a "bookwriter" or a teacher. After obtaining
                                       a degree in teaching and becoming a bookdealer, she won a writing contest sponsored by
                                       Arena in 2010 and started her career as an author. She lives in the Lüneburg Heath Region
                                       with her family. Her children’s books BENDIX BRODERSEN and her successful series MY LIFE AS
                                       LOTTA made her famous.

                                       Daniela Kohl, born in Munich in 1972, earned the money for her school lunch with little
                                       drawings she sold to members of her family. In 1994 she attended the Freie Kunstwerkstatt
                                       run by Prof. Hans Seeger and studied communication design at the Munich Technical
                                       College. Since 2001 she has been working as a freelance illustrator and graphics designer.

fun than Mrs Crappy. The first homework he
gives them is to start a new video channel
on the Internet. Unfortunately, Lotta and
Cheyenne’s fantastic testing skills do not
draw many clicks to their channel. Who

demonstrate every Tuesday on behalf of
animal protection. That’s much more Furry.
