Publisher's Synopsis
Chopper Bikes and Bell-Bottoms
"They say the dog's buried in Hesse"-a place so dull, nothing ever happens.But small-town life in 1970s Hesse was anything but boring. In the very region where the Brothers Grimm once collected their tales, ten-year-old Jasper tells of chaos, charm, and quiet wonder in this humorous and heartfelt coming-of-age story.
Surrounded by four siblings, loyal friends, quirky adults, whispered secrets, and family problems no kid should have to face-but many do-Jasper navigates a world full of surprises. Seen through his honest and sometimes cheeky eyes, life turns into a string of unexpected adventures. It's messy, mysterious, and often painfully real-yet still full of wonder.
Sometimes life falls apart - just to show you what's worth holding on to. Suitable for ages 10 and up.
