Eltern sind kompliziert, doch müssen sie derart übertreiben und sich gleich trennen? Und wieso muss ich mit zu meinen Großeltern an den Stadtrand ziehen, um schließlich mit meinem Hintern mitten in einem Kackhaufen von Opas Schafen zu landen? So habe ich mir meine Sommerferien nicht vorgestellt und das neue Schuljahr schon mal gar nicht. Vor allem, weil da noch dieser Ulf ist, der keine Gelegenheit auslässt, mir eins auszuwischen. Zum Glück wohnt nebenan Marie, die was ganz Besonderes ist und nach Minze und Sommersonnenstrahlenstaub riecht.
