Anaïs and Lilli Blondetti are not the kind of girls who go to the pet drug store every other day to buy a lipstick for their hamster. They live in Screamtown where almost nobody is ever screaming and attend a school where almost nobody is ever learning anything. One day their room is mistaken for an intergalactic train station, and their tranquil life turns into an exciting adventure. The boy who gets off the train is dressed in a ridiculous way and has one week to solve a tricky task. A friendly police officer, who is currently in the building in order to arrest a goldfish, points out that the exotic boy has to go to school by law ...
This book will open to you a window to a partly known, partly foreign world in which people regularly start to sing in the middle of the story for no reason at all. You will not only be able to look through it, but also to listen, because the book contains a separately available soundtrack. This means you should make some additional effort while reading. In the right places you should play the CD or grab the guitar and sing the songs yourself. The book includes the texts, notes and chords. If you happen to be as tired and lazy as Michelle CoalTar, then maybe this book is not for you ...

How could that happen? Have you ever seen a girl lose her smile just like that? No? And yet, this is exactly what happens to Anne in this story! She knows neither the reason nor the solution to the problem. Shortly afterwards, however, an unacquainted dwarf gives her the hint to go to the song forest. But: what kind of forest is it? Where can you find it? What does Anne have to do with this forest? And what can you expect from a dwarf who shows up in your house without ringing the bell? Behind this book cover you will find the answers - maybe. In any case you will meet Miniman, a cheeky frog, a kangaroo in a tracksuit, a Yuck, the slug Slimus, the Wizard Carambulix, you will hear ripe songs and learn something about ... yourself.
