About the author

Christine Nöstlinger

Christine Nöstlinger was an Austrian writer best known for children's books.

By her own admission, Nöstlinger was a wild and angry child. After finishing high school, she wanted to become an artist, and studied graphic arts at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna. She worked as a graphic artist for a few years, before marrying a journalist, Ernst Nöstlinger, with whom she had two daughters.

The majority of Nöstlinger's production is literature for children and for young people, and she also writes for television, radio and newspapers. She centres on the needs of children in her work, with an anti-authoritarian bent. She does not shy away from tackling difficult subjects like racism, discrimination and self-isolation.

Her first book was Die feuerrote Friederike, published in 1970, which she illustrated herself. The book was published in English in 1975 as Fiery Frederica.

Simpatična pričica, osvežavajuće politički nekorektna i realistična, o tome kako odeljenski pametnjaković rešava slučaj krađe za koju je osumnjičen njegov najbolji drug. Dovoljno zanimljiva da je po čitanju odmah prosledim potomku i da je on proguta i oceni četvorkom, pošto se još nije načitao dovoljne količine knjiga o odeljenskim dogodovštinama. Mada, kad bolje razmislim, nikad nije dovoljno knjiga o školskim družinama, inače ih ja ne bih i dalje čitala u ovim godinama, bajagi samo da vidim jesu li pogodne za dete.

Letto con figlia n.3, libro carino, ma scrittura troppo pomposa e ricercata per un racconto per ragazzini e non sempre c'è simbiosi tra la trama molto semplice e lineare e i termini usati.

Me gustó mucho cómo interactuaron los protagonistas: cada uno cumple con una función en la resolución del misterio, si bien Filo es el que lleva la voz cantante, sin sus amigos no lo hubiera logrado: el Picas con todo y su impulsividad; el Sir quien confía en ellos todo el tiempo y Lilibeth quien es el personaje que más crece en la historia: empieza a ganar su independencia de los excesivos cuidados maternos y con ello empieza a madurar.



En cuanto a los adultos que aparecen, destacan los padres del acusado: se toman las cosas en su justa medida: tratan de calmar a su hijo y al mismo tiempo ven la vía legal para evitar problemas más serios, esperando por la aparición del verdadero responsable.



Si bien esta novela está dirigida a un público más infantil, a diferencia de la trilogía de Gretchen, de todas maneras está escrita con gran maestría: un lenguaje sencillo y directo que retrata el habla de los chicos, capítulos ágiles con su tradicional título explicativo y una serie de valores entrelazados con la historia: la amistad, la honestidad, la igualdad, la independencia.



Una novela recomendable para lectores que busquen un misterio por resolver mientras conocen a personajes entrañables.

4.25/5⭐️

It’s a detective story taking place in a school and I loved it. At the beginning I wasn’t surprised to how the characters were presented but Nöstlinger’s writing style is just unique and top notch. Difficult not to like her directness.
In a summary the book is about 3 friends who try to defend their friend who was accused of theft within their class.
They proceed trying to find out who the actual culprit of the thefts was and it’s an exciting adventure for all ages :)


Man kann echt nicht viel Schlechtes über dieses Buch sagen, es kam mir komplett vor und das ist für mich das Wichtigste. Die Geschichte war spannend, an bestimmten Stellen auch rührend und man weint und lacht mit diesen 4 Kindern einfach mit. Wer es nicht gelesen hat, der kann das gerne nachholen, ich kann mir kaum vorstellen dass man das irgendwie bereuen könnte.

nöstlinger might have interesting ideas for children's books, but her style is unnecessarily gross, and i have absolutely no idea how she, her editors and her friends can let her write "viertelneger" (quarternigger) on the second page.... very disappointing.
