Die beiden Papageitaucher Luddi und Karlo sind Zwillingsbrüder – und doch grundverschieden. Karlo macht sich jedes Jahr im Herbst zusammen mit Millionen anderer Papageitaucher auf die Reise – weg vom Hügel mit den Bruthöhlen auf den Färöern, hin an einen wärmeren Ort. Luddi ist dagegen ängstlich durch und durch, hat weder gelernt zu schwimmen, noch zu fliegen und bleibt am allerliebsten da, wo es seiner Meinung nach sowieso am schönsten ist. Eines Frühjahrs kamen, wie jedes Jahr, alle Papageitaucher wieder an den Ort zurück, an dem sie geschlüpft waren. Alle? Nein, Luddi vermisste seinen Zwillingsbruder Karlo. Der war nämlich dieses Mal nicht mit dabei. Jetzt ist guter Rat teuer. In dieser Geschichte erfährst du, wie Luddi auf der Suche nach Karlo seine Flugangst überwinden konnte, schließlich mit einem selbst gebauten Ballon über den Atlantik reiste, geleitet von Pinky, einem pinkfarbenen Wal. Wilde Piraten spielen eine Rolle und eine geheimnisvolle Schatztruhe. Und das Ende ist ganz anders, als man erwarten würde.

Chris Eveson is a genius; streetwise, artistic and sensitive, and rebelling against the domineering abuses of his father. Unlike his twin brother, Cain, who seems average in every way – at least to the outward observer. But gifts and talents run much deeper than two dimensions. Brian Caswell's extraordinary new novel will draw you into a web of mysteries, and of horrors from the past buried by lies in the present.
