Another of my close friends, Jürgen Teller, has asked me to tell the world about his latest graded reader, Falkenland. I am more than happy to oblige.

 

Falkenland is an ecological paradise in the forests of Bavaria. Professor Torsten Jann brings six young people from across Europe to learn more about ecology - and to have a good time. But something sinister is going on at Falkenland. Someone is stealing eggs from the nest of a Peregrine Falcon. Can the young people find the thief? Read Falkenland, a graded reader in easy German, and find out.
