Reading by Stefan Boonen

Moderation and translation: Rikarde Riedesel

"Albert and Kalinda share a secret: In a rainy night they saw a giant in front of their windows. At the same time. Albert saw him on the third floor and Kalinda on the seventh one. Actually Albert expected that his summer holidays would not be very eventful. But this time everything is different: The high-rise they all live in is to be sold and everybody will have to move out. Right now after he and Kalinda have become friends and after they have sought and found the giant. It is a pity! But luckily they promised each other to stay friends – forever!"

Stefan Boonen has the talent to connect the complicated everyday life with the blossoming fantasy of the children. He creates sensitive and amusing novels which inspire not only children and young people.
