The final book from the collection of stories about Franz is dedicated to the main thing in his life, which, in general, all previous books are dedicated to - friendship. The classic of Austrian children's literature, Christine Nöstlinger, wrote stories about this hero for 30 years, and in each of them she emphasized: friends are extremely important to him. Parents, grandmother and even brother Josef love Franz simply because they seem to be supposed to, but his warm relationship with his classmate Eberhard and best friend Gabi is the fruit of his efforts. Especially with Gabi - she is very capricious! On the eve of his ninth birthday, Franz finds a new friend - friend at first sight. More precisely, a girlfriend. And he understands that if you feel like a friend to someone, then you are always ready to help, even if you have known each other for only one day. The girl Elfie helps her grandfather in the pharmacy, but for some reason she does not speak, but only silently gives the necessary goods. But is this an obstacle? Franz immediately understands that he wants to invite Elfie to visit and get to know her better - the only question is what Gabi will think about it. Of course, as in previous books, everything will end well - but not at all as everyone’s favorite hero thought. Stories about Franz is an ideal read for those who are just starting to read.
