What more could young readers ask for than a teen book that is full of pace and emotion - and also has a lot of depth? Valentina Brüning gives them all of this. The author mixes the turbulent emotional world of adolescents with profound questions - above all about the true value of friendship. With Fritzi, Valentina Brüning has created a main character who is likeable from the outset, who makes many a mistake but always acts with her heart in the right place. The author also tackles the subject of "prejudice" very well: on closer inspection, her main character has to throw her previously cherished prejudices against her new classmates overboard.
