My Djinn

Published by Diogenes as Mein Dschinn
Original Title: Mein Dschinn

Eleven-year-old Lars cannot bear living in the children’s home anymore, and he runs away. He wants to find his mother, even though no-one knows where she is. Her last letter, which Lars carries with him in his pocket, was sent from India. But India is far away. Fortunately a strange old man comes to Lars’ aid: his name is Kol and he knows a thing or two about herbs, Indian tea and many other mysterious things, including Lars’ family history... On the search for his mother, the boy winds up in Rome – where Roma children take him to their campsite and the sharp-as-a-tack girl Suni helps him some more – and in the end he really does make it to India, where Lars and his friends will need all their wits and courage in order to outsmart those who want to harm his mother.
