Niveau A1 2. Lernjahr / 6. Klasse 500 Wörter Adventure / Mystery / Thriller Die 14-Jährige Sally verbringt mit ihrer Mutter und mit ihrem Hund Callie die Sommerferien an einem See. Dort entdeckt sie auf einer Erkundungstour mit dem Kanu eine geheimnisvolle Scheune und macht die unangenehme Bekanntschaft mit einer noch eigenartigeren Frau. Was für ein Geheimnis verbirgt sich in dieser Scheune? Die Vorgeschichte wird in der beliebten Lektüre Lost in the Rain erzählt. Jane Bowring was working as an editor on adult books when she was asked by a colleague to look at some children’s picture book manuscripts. From that developed a desire to write for children herself. Her own children and those of her friends provided a rich source of inspiration, and stories such as Sam’s Surprise, You little monster and Two in a room resulted. Along the way she discovered that many children prefer non-fiction to fiction. Researching material for her non-fiction titles led to a fascination with wild animals, some of which have made an appearance in her latest stories – The tricky little hippo is her latest picture book and one about baby elephants is in production. Jane is the author of Cousins and Crocodiles and Lost in the Rain in the Hueber Lektüren Englisch series.weiterlesen
