“The children’s thriller is not only exciting, it also shows what a big problem rubbish can be. In the expanded new edition of the book, you get tips on extra pages on how to produce less rubbish in your everyday life.” –
NRZ, Checky!
“A children’s thriller that has everything you want in a book like this: friendship, an interesting case and suspense. And then as a special extra: the environmental theme. Recommended!” –
Miriam Schaps, Geschichtenwolke Blog
“A true environmental crime story to get engrossed in.” – liesLotte, January 2013
“Bang-up-to-date topic and fascinating detective adventure of a teen gang.” – Jungenlesenliste, Manndat [boys’ reading list]
“The series remains true to itself: the likeable protagonists are already known, the style of narration likewise. And this is meant in an absolutely positive way: the target audience is offered proven identification potential; between suspenseful-entertaining children’s detective novel on the one and an informative introduction into the topics of environment protection on the other hand. This appears to be all of a piece—the authors know their craft. The lively illustrations blend in with a pleasing manner. In short: a reading recommendation—justly recommended by the WWF YOUNG PANDA Children’s Programme!” – Alliteratus
“[…] thrilling adventure with a learning effect.” – his & her books, November 2012
