Charlotte Brandi: Fischtage

In the organizer's words:

When you can no longer trust anyone, even a plastic fish becomes a guide. A touching book about trust - Charlotte Brandi in the taz Talk at the Leipzig Book Fair.

Ella, 16 years old and at home in Dortmund, keeps friendships at a distance. Her uncontrolled outbursts of rage have isolated her too often and her family also seems broken: Her parents are on the verge of divorce and there is no connection to her siblings. Only Eckard, the old neighbor, has always been a reliable friend. He bequeathed something unexpected to Ella: a singing plastic fish.

When her little brother Luis suddenly disappears, Ella sets off on a search with the curious fish. Equipped with an Aldi bag, a large portion of courage and far too little fear, she faces all obstacles to find Luis. On her journey, she discovers not only how far she can go, but also what trust really means.
