About the series
Long German adventure stories set in real Swiss places: an old mine above Sargans, Mount Pilatus, the Rhine Falls, the Basel carnival, the Verzasca valley, the abbey library of St. Gallen, a mountain hut above Arolla, the bilingual town of Murten and more. Each has a mystery, a real choice for its young hero, and a chapter ending that makes you turn the page.
The heroes are about eleven or twelve, and so are many of the readers, but the stories are written to be read by anyone who enjoys a good mystery. The German is rich and idiomatic, in Swiss spelling: for a learner it is B2, demanding but written to be read for fun.
Every paragraph has a translation beside it, so a reader whose German is still growing can check a sentence and read on, and a parent who does not speak German can follow the story too. After the story come exercises on reading, words and grammar and ideas for writing, with the answers on a separate page.
