Liebe ist schön, aber kompliziert. Sprottes Mama z. B. kann sich nicht entscheiden, ob sie wieder heiraten soll oder nicht. Trude entdeckt ihre Vorliebe für schwarze Locken. Frieda muss sich mit einer Wochenendfreundschaft herumärgern. Und Wilmas erste Liebe ist ein Mädchen. Das fünfte Hühner-Abenteuer von Cornelia Funke erstmalig als Hörspiel. Aufwendig produziert, mit tollen Songs und fantastischen Stimmen.

Sprotte kann es nicht fassen: Sie soll ihre Ferien auf einem Reiterhof verbringen. Obwohl sie von Pferden nicht das Geringste hält. Zum Glück kommen wenigstens auch alle anderen WILDEN HÜHNER mit und bald merken die fünf Freundinnen, dass an dem Spruch vom "höchsten Glück der Erde" etwas dran ist. Wer hätte gedacht, dass man sich beim Reiten so wunderbar leicht fühlt, fast schwindelig, und einem die Pferde so ans Herz wachsen können. Mit dem Herz ist das überhaupt so eine Sache.

Die Mädchen von den WILDEN HÜHNERN sind in heller Aufregung: Sprotte hat "Fuchsalarm" gegeben! In der Geheimsprache der Bande heißt das größte Gefahr, in diesem Fall sogar Lebensgefahr. Denn Sprottes Oma will alle Hennen schlachten! Das können die fünf Mädchen natürlich nicht zulassen und planen eine riskante Rettungsaktion. Doch wie sollen sie 15 laut gackernde Hühner entführen, ohne dass Oma Slättberg es merkt? Und vor allem – wohin mit den Tieren? Schließlich haben DIE WILDEN HÜHNER immer noch kein eigenes Bandenquartier.

Eine Woche Klassenfahrt ans Meer, da freuen sich Sprotte, Frieda, Melanie und Trude schon lange drauf. Wären da bloß nicht Die Pygmäen! Die vier Jungs versuchen ständig den Wilden Hühnern mit ihren albernen Streichen eins auszuwischen. Aber das unheimliche Gelächter nachts auf dem Flur und die rätselhaften Fußspuren im Zimmer – damit hat die Jungsbande ausnahmsweise mal nichts zu tun. Stimmt es am Ende tatsächlich, was sich die Leute auf der Insel vom Geist des alten Strandräubers Jap Lornsen erzählen? Und schon sind Die Wilden Hühner wieder mitten in einem neuen Abenteuer.

"Abenteuer kann man doch nicht planen wie Ballett oder so was. Die warten um die Ecke und – zack! – plötzlich sind sie da!", erklärt Sprotte ihren Freundinnen. Tatsächlich lässt das erste Abenteuer für die Mädchen der Wilden Hühner nicht lange auf sich warten. Denn Die Pygmäen, vier Jungs aus ihrer Klasse, lassen nach einem Streit die Hühner von Sprottes Oma frei. Das schreit natürlich nach Rache! Die fünfteilige Kultserie um die wohl beliebteste Mädchenbande Deutschlands erstmalig als neu produzierte Hörspiele.

Marisol Guzman has deferred college for a year to accomplish two things: She will write a novel and she will fall in love. How hard could that be? She gets her very own apartment (with her high school best friend as roommate) and a waitressing job at a classic Harvard Square coffeehouse. When she enrolls in an adult education class - "How to Write Your First Novel" - there are two big surprises waiting for her.

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's "The Red Shoes", New York Times best-selling author K. W. Jeter's "La Valse" forges a fable about love, the decadence of technology, and a gala dance that becomes the obsession of a young engineer - and the doom of those who partake in it. In "You Will Attend Until Beauty Awakens", national best-selling author and John W. Campbell Award winner Jay Lake tells the story of Sleeping Beauty - and how the princess was conceived in deception, raised in danger, and rescued by a prince who may be less than valiant.

"I had been married three years when I fell in love," begins Kate, a firecracker of a woman who thought she'd found the yin to her yang in Cary, her sensible and adoring husband.
