Maria says: “Falkenland” is about a competition to promote a company which is occupied with gene technology. The main prize is a stay in Germany together with other young people from Europe. The youngsters get checked-in on a primitive country house nested deep in the forest together with Professor Jann and the chef Otto. Their task is to study the nature, clean the place from waste and of course social gathering. During their stay they discover a peregrine falcon and its’ nest. But there is an egg stealing thief at work. The children succeed in revealing the thief, but read it yourself… The book is exciting and is very suitable for ambitious pupils in the end of 8th class or 9th or 10th class.
