La catastrofe è annunciata ma per fortuna arrivano sempre i grandi a tirarli fuori dai guai.

In "Himbeereis am Fluss" erzählt die große Schwester Ida über ihren Alltag mit dem kleinen Bruder Oskar. Es geht um Flusssafaris in der Frühlingssonne und verlorene Vampire in der Herbstdunkelheit. Um Hütten, die kleiner sind, als man denkt, und Muffin-Buden, die schöner sind als erwartet. Um Veränderung und Verlust, Puderzucker und Elche. Und um das, was plötzlich kaum noch zu ertragen ist…. Maria Parr hat eine rasante und warmherzige Geschichte geschrieben, über das Großwerden und darüber, das Leben plötzlich in einem anderen Licht zu sehen.
