Yunis has just moved to Berlin—into a haunted house, of all places! The ghost girl Lotte is causing all sorts of trouble there. So Yunis promises to take her back to her own time, to Berlin in 1897. There, Lotte wants to find out what really happened on the day she died. But how will the two of them get there? And will they discover the truth?
The reading by the two authors from their book “Gespensterzentrale” offers hands-on history for children ages 8 and up: They travel back to 1897 with Lotte and Yunis. They sing the ghost song, dress up as maids and footmen, learn a forgotten script, handle old coins, paint, craft, and guess. And the parents and grandparents? There’s a newspaper for them to read—from the past, of course!
