Pit and his sister Lena are bored on holiday in Greece. Their parents are always quarrelling, and there are no other children on the beach. But then Pit and Lena have the good fortune to find the wizard Zervan. He has been hiding away from the world on a tiny island for two hundred and fifty years – or rather, he has been hiding his nose. Because it is so huge and fiery red that it takes Pit and Lena's breath away when they first see it. Zervan is terribly ashamed of this protuberance, which a wicked rival has stuck on his face by a magic spell. Lena feels sorry for him, and has a brilliant idea. That is the start of an adventurous journey on a flying carpet.
A story for children of 8 and upwards, told by Pit and Lena themselves.

The new stroke of genius from the Swiss bestselling author Lukas Hartmann is a fast-paced adventure novel and an exciting guessing game for young heroes – for all the children who have ever had dental braces – or who ever wanted them.

Who has not wished they could finally be good at school? Know the capital of Madagascar, how many kilos a hippopotamus weighs and how many grams an earthworm. It is a little odd that shy Tobi suddenly knows all the answers after he gets his dental braces. His classmates, at first full of surprised admiration, soon get suspicious, and Tobi also starts to find the whole thing uncanny.
About the dream of being a hero, and the question of who to trust – other people or ourselves?
