Friedrich Snapdragon is the last scion of the legendary family of bumblebees, and only he can find out what’s going on in the wild North, says the queen. Together with Hieronymus Brumzel, the golden bumblebee, Friedrich sets out on an incredibly dangerous journey. And she finds out that everything is actually calm in the North. But the queen has already planned a war, as a result of which she will become a great hero and go down in history! Now you need not only to carry away your legs, paws and wings to save your own life, but also to unite all the strange creatures of Scarland at all costs to prevent war! The stunning debut of an incredibly talented storyteller - an explosive mixture of insects and steampunk - was put forward for special prize of the German Children's Literature Prize in the category “New Talent” and awarded the Jury Prize for Young Readers.
