YO U N G A D U LT S F I C T I O N CHARLOTTE INDEN Charlotte Inden Anna und Anna The Two Annas When best friends turn into childhood sweethearts, and when one of them moves a long way away, it’s good to have a Granny you can rely on. 176 pages, Hardcover From age 12 Publication date: July <strong>2013</strong> © Gustavo Alàbiso Ever since Jan moved, Anna feels like she’s been torn apart. He was her closest friend and they did everything together. So it’s just as well she can rely on her grandmother – who doesn’t just happen to have exactly the same name, but also knows exactly how it feels when you miss somebody and yearn for them so badly. When the long-awaited letter arrives from Amsterdam, Grandma Anna is the first to hear about it. Meanwhile, granddaughter Anna is the only one her grandmother confides in about Henri, the mysterious stranger to whom she’s always writing letters that she never sends. Could it be more than coincidence that Jan and Henri both happen to live in Amsterdam? Charlotte Inden was born in 1979. She read German, history of art, and cinema and television studies in Marburg, London and Strasbourg. She lives in Karlsruhe with her husband, working as an editor for a daily newspaper. Her message to the world is: write more letters! »Just make sure you hold onto him tight«; that’s what I’d really like to say to Anna. But Anna is thirteen. And sensible advice is the last thing a thirteen-year-old girl wants to hear… 15 C H I L D R E N ’ S B O O K S C H I L D R E N ’ S B O O K S 16 F O R E I G N R I G H T S HANSER F O R E I G N R I G H T S HANSER
YO U N G A D U LT S F I C T I O N JANNE TELLER Janne Teller Alles – worum es geht All that Matters ? Why ? are we prejudiced ? Why Why ? are we pointlessly violent ? ? do we ostracize and bully © Annette Pohnert Janne Teller’s popular and successful books on topical issues for young readers have triggered many a lively debate. In this collection of short stories she once again targets conflicts that concern us all. What compels a young man to use gratuitous violence? Is there any way of understanding intolerance and extremism? When is revenge an acceptable motive? Can you hold people responsible for their own intellectual limitations? In her new book, Janne Teller again asks difficult and uncomfortable questions, confronting us with scenarios way beyond our comfort zone. Trenchant and intense, with concise, laconic prose and powerful use of metaphor, she forces the reader to take a stand, challenging us to reflect and discuss complex and controversial issues. Ten stories that get right under the skin – stories about assimilation and exclusion, prejudice and intolerance, murder and the death penalty, identity and learning disabilities, violence and revenge, integration and cultural diversity. Translated from Danish by Sigrid Engeler and Birgitt Kollmann 128 pages From age 13 Publication date: August <strong>2013</strong> Janne Teller was born in 1964 in Copenhagen. She worked as an economic consultant and conflict advisor for the European Union and the United Nations before starting to write fulltime in 1995. Her publications include Komm (2012), Europa. Alles was dir fehlt (2011), Odins Insel (2003), as well as the books for young readers Nichts – Was im Leben wichtig ist (2010) and Krieg – Stell dir vor, er wäre hier (2011). »An important and provocative work, guaranteed to spark discussion and debate.« By the bestselling author and former UN and EU conflict advisor 17 C H I L D R E N ’ S B O O K S C H I L D R E N ’ S B O O K S 18 F O R E I G N R I G H T S HANSER F O R E I G N R I G H T S HANSER
