Anton Sets Things Straight

Winner of the German Youth Literature Prize and a real success – 2011 was Anton’s year! Here comes a new story about Anton, the crazy, stubborn little guy, with congenial illustrations by Elke Kusche.

Anton cockily announces to the whole class that he would come to the class trip on his heelies. There’s only one problem – he doesn’t have any... What to do? He could tell his parents to go to the bank and take out the money to buy him the cool shoes with wheels. But the next problem is that their washer is broken and they need their money for that, not to buy some cool shoes for Anton. When Anton’s attempts at getting work as a stuntman fail and he has no luck getting the money from Grandma and Grandpa, he finally has a terrific idea. It should be no problem printing his own money on a new colour copy machine...
