It’s just like a fairy tale. In the forest Flora stumbles on a little house with a garden that’s overgrown with roses. But the house is about to be sold. Not only that, but Flora learns from the owner’s daughter that a white horse has been living for a long time in the stable…but now he’s disappeared! Together with her magic owl Goldwing, Flora tries to find the terrified animal. Will the two of them manage to make their way through the jungle of roses and win the confidence of the white stallion?
Exciting new adventures in the Enchanted Forest. The mighty tree witches send out invitations to take part in the great Witch Competition, which is only held once every hundred years. The prize is a superb extra magical power. Just the thing for a young owl witch like Petunia, think the seven litte owls, and so they secretly enter their witch for the competition. There is just one catch: whoever comes last in solving the extremely difficult magic problems must hand over her witch’s broomstick. Oh dear! The trouble is, all the other witches are very old and are real experts in the art of magic… Fortunately, and as always, Petunia can rely on her little owls!

In Welcome to the club, Manchester legend DJ Paulette shares the highs, lows and lessons of a thirty-year music career, with help from some famous friends. One of the Haçienda's first female DJs, Paulette has scaled the heights of the music industry, playing to crowds of thousands all around the world, and descended to the lows of being unceremoniously benched by COVID-19, with no chance of furlough and little support from the government. Here she tells her story, offering a remarkable view of the music industry from a Black woman's perspective. Behind the core values of peace, love, unity and respect, dance music is a world of exclusion, misogyny, racism and classism. But, as Paulette reveals, it is also a space bursting at the seams with powerful women. Part personal account, part call to arms, Welcome to the club exposes the exclusivity of the music industry while seeking to do justice to the often invisible women who keep the beat going.

Übrig geblieben sind ihr nur ein Briefumschlag mit einer Handvoll Fotografien und die Angst vor dem Vater, die Sorge um ihre Mutter und ihren Bruder, die Knoten in ihrer Brust. Seka sucht mit Anfang zwanzig nach den Spuren ihrer zerbrochenen Familie und ihres bisherigen Lebens. Sie rekonstruiert den Weg ihrer Eltern aus Bosnien in die Schweiz und fragt nach den Verbindungen, den Fäden zu ihr. Dabei stößt sie auf das Gefangenenlager in Omarska in den neunziger Jahren und einen Brief, der sie weiter nach Den Haag und Genf führt, später ins Berner Oberland. Und sie stellt fest, dass in Omarska heute Erz in den Minen abgebaut wird, als hätte es die Geschichte nicht gegeben, die eines fast schon vergessenen Krieges in Europa. Dabei wirken die Versehrungen der Vergangenheit bis in die Gegenwart fort. Mina Hava verknüpft in ihrem Debütroman historisches Material, Recherche- und Rekonstruktionsarbeit mit persönlichen Erfahrungen, Verlusten und Ängsten – und beleuchtet, was Geschichte bedeutet für Landschaften und Körper. Sensibel erzählt Für Seka ein junges Leben, in dem das Politische und das Persönliche untrennbar verbunden sind, eine Geschichte vom Verlassen und Verlassenwerden und von der Frage, was war.
