'...a special book' - Morris Gleitzman, author of the acclaimed ONCE series Born in a refugee camp, all Subhi knows of the world is that he's at least 19 fence diamonds high, the nice Jackets never stay long, and at night he dreams that the sea finds its way to his tent, bringing with it unusual treasures. And one day it brings him Jimmie. Carrying a notebook that she's unable to read and wearing a sparrow made out of bone around her neck - both talismans of her family's past and the mother she's lost - Jimmie strikes up an unlikely friendship with Subhi beyond the fence. As he reads aloud the tale of how Jimmie's family came to be, both children discover the importance of their own stories in writing their futures.

Monstrum House - was für ein seltsamer Name für ein Internat. Angeblich die letzte Hoffnung für Kinder, die schon von mehreren Schulen geflogen sind.

Miran è un bambino allegro, dotato di grande ottimismo e di una fervida fantasia. Racconta storie e indovinelli alla sua amica Esra e al piccolo Isa e in questo modo rende le giornate più leggere. Sono prigionieri in un seminterrato buio e umido e insieme sognano il giorno in cui comincerà la loro vita, finalmente liberi e felici. Quando colgono l'opportunità di scappare le cose non vanno bene. Sola, terrorizzata e con la responsabilità del più piccolo del gruppo, Esra farà di tutto per potersi riunire con l'amico Miran, che durante la fuga è stato catturato dalla polizia, una polizia che dovrebbe rappresentare le forze dell'ordine, ma di cui Esra, giustamente, non riesce a fidarsi. Nascosta in un bosco in riva al fiume. Esra incontra un altro ragazzo, solo e impaurito come lei, con una difficile storia famigliare alle spalle. Insieme costruiscono un pupazzo di argilla, un Golem che prende vita nella loro fantasia e, forse, nella realtà, e che li guiderà in un labirinto di gallerie sotterranee fino alla luce. Fino al momento in cui avranno il coraggio di raccontare la loro storia. Fino al momento in cui riusciranno a essere liberi.
