Brimful with Bliss

Amy's father had always said she was a special child. And Amy thought so, too. After all, only really special people live in castles.
Suri's mother reckons there are worse things in life than living in a castle. But Suri and her brothers, Bear and Erik, disagree.
The castle is located in the dull flatlands, which will take some adjusting. It's also managed by their mother's boyfriend, who'll be living there with them.
The fact that he has a daughter doesn't make things any easier, because Amy's pretty special.
Amy can barely contain her excitement at the prospect of being part of a blended family. She's thrilled to have siblings.
But bringing two families with two different backgrounds together can be difficult, and as tension grows within the stone walls of their new home, it's starting to look like Amy's wish of having a big family might not come true.
Bestselling author Monika Feth's story is told from the alternating perspectives of Amy, a girl with Down syndrome, and her stepsister-to-be, Suri.

Monika Feth was born in 1951. After completing her literary studies, she was initially employed as a journalist. She now lives near Cologne, where she writes award-winning books for all age groups. The sensational success of The Strawberry Picker thriller made her famous far beyond the realm of young-adult literature. Her books have been translated into more than 24 languages.
