Kirsten Boie ends the successful “Sommerby” series: the German counterpart to Astrid Lindgren’s “Bullerbü”. The fourth volume about life in Sommerby seems profound at the same time.

Ideal for reading to older school children or reading for aloud. Boie has Martha say one point: “It's always better to talk about things and not to put everything off and stay out of sheer fear, and then in the end you have to say it and everything is still the same.”
