Jedes Kind darf die Welt erobern! Millilus Reise mit ihrem Hausboot geht weiter. In einem Dorf am Ufer des Flusses lernt sie die blinde Marlene kennen. Marlene sitzt den ganzen Tag in ihrem dunklen Zimmer. Denn rausgehen kann sie nicht, sagt ihr Papa. Das sieht Millilu natürlich ganz anders: Kurzerhand nimmt sie Marlene mit sich und beschließt, ihr die Welt zu zeigen, denn eines ist dem Bootsmenschen-Kind klar: "Wenn du willst, kannst du alles. Wenn du willst, kannst du sogar fliegen!"

Sabine Bohlmann liest selbst. Mit ihrem Hausboot fährt Millilu auf der Suche nach ihren Eltern die Flüsse entlang. Immer an Bord: Huhn Hennilotte und Ziege Vanille!

Für Millilu ist klar: Stella und Luna müssen Seelenschwestern werden, denn so sind sie für immer verbunden. Doch bis dahin gilt es einige Prüfungen zu bestehen.

Plastic bags are cheap and easy to use. But what happens when a bag breaks or is no longer needed? In Njau, Gambia, people simply dropped the bags and went on their way. One plastic bag became two. Then 10. Then a hundred. The bags accumulated in ugly heaps alongside roads. Water pooled in them, bringing mosquitoes and disease. Some bags were burned, leaving behind a terrible smell. Some were buried, but they strangled gardens. They killed livestock that tried to eat them. Something had to change.
