The popular Schule der Magischen Tiere series has now grown to 14 volumes. She will be presenting the latest volume, Ach du Schreck, as part of the Children’s Book Festival at the DAI Heidelberg. There will also be a medley from the previous stories, and most importantly, a conversation with the audience, who are sure to have lots of questions! As a child,Margit Auer wanted to become a postwoman and deliver letters on a yellow bicycle – but then she decided she would rather be a journalist and wrote many articles for newspapers. When her three sons were born, she read lots of children’s books and decided to write some herself. Good for us! Margit Auer has been awarded many prizes, including the Leipziger Lesekompass, the Leseknirps and the Heidelberger Leander.
