Rot, eine alte Eiche, ist ein sogenannter Wunschbaum - ein Baum, dem die Menschen ihre tiefsten Wünsche anvertrauen. Man könnte meinen, dass Rot schon alles gesehen hat. Doch als eine neue Familie in die Nachbarschaft zieht und das Mädchen Samar sich nichts sehnlicher wünscht als einen Freund, sind Rots Weisheit und Erfahrung von größerer Bedeutung denn je. Und plötzlich beschließt er, alle Regeln zu brechen und seine Stimme zu erheben ...
In her first novel since winning the Newbery Medal, Katherine Applegate delivers an unforgettable and magical story about family, friendship, and resilience.
Jackson and his family have fallen on hard times. There's no more money for rent. And not much for food, either. His parents, his little sister, and their dog may have to live in their minivan. Again.
Crenshaw is a cat. He's large, he's outspoken, and he's imaginary. He has come back into Jackson's life to help him. But is an imaginary friend enough to save this family from losing everything?
Beloved author Katherine Applegate proves in unexpected ways that friends matter, whether real or imaginary.
The heart-warming new story about family and friendships from Newbery Medal-winner Katherine Applegate.
Life is tough for ten-year-old Jackson. The landlord is often at the door, there's not much food in the fridge and he's worried that any day now the family will have to move out of their home. Again.
Crenshaw is a cat. He's large, he's outspoken and he's imaginary. He's come back into Jackson's life to help him but is an imaginary friend enough to save this family from losing everything?
A heart-warming story about family and friendships from Newbery medal winner Katherine Applegate.
Der 10-jährige Jackson ist nicht der Typ für einen unsichtbaren Freund, denn Jackson sammelt am liebsten Fakten. Ein Fakt ist zum Beispiel, dass eine Kakerlake ohne Kopf zwei Wochen lang überleben kann. Ein weiterer, dass seine Eltern zur Zeit mal wieder nicht mit dem Geld klarkommen. Erst verschwindet der Fernseher, dann gibt es zum Abendbrot nur noch Cornflakes ... Aber plötzlich taucht ein Kater namens Crenshaw auf - so groß, dass man sich bei ihm anlehnen kann. Außerdem kann Crenshaw sprechen und ist unsichtbar ...
Katherine Applegate erzählt von der magischen Kraft der Phantasie, die Kinder in schwierigen Lebenssituationen retten kann.

First Katherine Applegate thrilled readers with the action-packed Animorphs series. Then she stole our hearts with the award-winning The One and Only Ivan. Now she takes us on an unforgettable journey in this first book of an epic middle grade series!
Byx is the youngest member of her dairne pack. Believed to possess remarkable abilities, her mythical doglike species has been hunted to near extinction in the war-torn kingdom of Nedarra.
After her pack is hunted down and killed, Byx fears she may be the last of her species. The Endling. So Byx sets out to find safe haven, and to see if the legends of other hidden dairnes are true.
Along the way, she meets new allies-both animals and humans alike-who each have their own motivations for joining her quest. And although they begin as strangers, they become their own kind of family-one that will ultimately uncover a secret that may threaten every creature in their world.
Building upon the success of her critically acclaimed novels such as The One and Only Ivan, Crenshaw, and Wishtree, while also returning to her action-packed fantasy roots of Animorphs, the Endling series is Katherine Applegate at her finest. With its enthralling characters, unique setting, and gripping adventure, this series is the perfect next read for fans of Rick Riordan, Brian Jacques, and Tui T. Sutherland.
