For eleven-year-old Herman Fülkt, life suddenly brings an unpleasant surprise. It turns out there are problems that neither his parents nor his classmates had ever encountered—so even loving people constantly make stupid mistakes, and he has to find a way out and adapt to circumstances himself. On this difficult path, many funny and sad things happen, but Herman still ends up a winner. This book speaks about important matters in a quiet voice, calmly, with irony, but at the same time warmly and compassionately.
