THE STAR LAKE wins Luchs Award of the Year 2025
The LUCHS Award for 2025 goes to Will Gmehling and Jens Rassmus for their book The Star Lake.
The story of a high-rise housing estate, four children and a mysterious little lake was already honoured with the LUCHS Award of the Month in April.
The jury writes: “The Star Lake is both realistic and fantastical. Gmehling and Rassmus tell of everyday life in exceptional circumstances, of outsiders who suddenly receive attention, of growing up in difficult conditions, and they show how seemingly small things can influence life.”

Jens Rassmus' RAINY DAY wins the German Children's Literature Award 2025
Without using any words, Jens Rassmus waxes lyrical about the diversity of children’s play. Black and white outlines show the reality of life in the children’s room, while bold acrylic colours fan out the wide world of imagination. (…) Visually striking and accessible to all, this book invites everyone to join in and follow the game of ideas. And when the sun shines again at the end, it has long been clear that imagination brightens more than just a rainy day.” Jury statement for the nomination for the German Youth Literature Prize
