In 2004 he wrote the childrens book Die Kurzhosengang under the pseudonym Victor Caspak & Yves Lanois.
Jan, Ben und Max erleben jeden Mittwoch Abenteuer, wenn Mama für 2 Stunden die Wohnung verlässt und die Nachbarin nach ihrer Tasse Kaffee eingeschlafen ist. Meist ist danach ein Chaos in der Wohnung, aber wie soll es schon aussehen, wenn man durchs Klo ausbüchsen, in der Nase der Nachbarin gegen Nasenhaare kämpfen und zum Mittelpunkt der Erde reisen muss?
In this 2nd book of the JanBenMax series, the 3 brothers travel though different well-known fairy-tales / stories and mix them up a bit. I found it a bit weird to see them in Andersen's "Snow Queen", Baron Munchausen's stories, the Brothers' Grimm's "Mother Trudy", etc., but my sons really loved it.
