The School of magic animals
With your animal through thick and thin
The Winterstein School holds a magical secret: in the class of the eccentric new teacher Miss Cornfield, each child is assigned a personal animal that not only helps them meet their daily challenges, but also becomes their best friend on earth! The speaking animal is a special companion, unreservedly supporting its human friend whatever the situation. For readers, this makes for a unique blend of reality and fiction. The highly successful book series invites growing children to project themselves and their experience into the stories: as members of this enchantingly conspiratorial school class, the protagonists find their very own place in the world. They share an exciting everyday life full of magic moments.
