Finn-Ole Heinrich: Bosco Rübe und die Beweisung des Weihnachtsmanns

Ages 5 and up

Bosco’s older sister Rosa says, “There’s no Santa Claus.” What?! Four-year-old Bosco refuses to believe that. Luckily, he’s a detective, and together with his cuddly assistant Ökkel, he sets out to find proof. Because he already has a hunch: that grumpy guy on the street who fishes returnable bottles out of trash cans—he’s got glitter on his shoe! Bosco suspects something’s up…
A Christmas mystery in 24+1 chapters for the entire Advent season—and for everyone who’s ever been four years old and hasn’t given up on Santa Claus yet.

Finn-Ole HeinrichwasErfurt’sCity Writer in 2008. He writes and performs stories for all age groups—in book form, illustrated or not, as novels, plays, movies, or NEWSLETTERS. In over 2,800 readings from Reykjavík to Seoul, Finn has tried just about every approach to storytelling he could think of: readings as multimedia shows, with minimal staging and a touch of playfulness. Solo in a classroom, with a string of lights tied around his head, or with Hannes Wittmer’s sounds at Tempelhofer Feld; with the Ensemble Adapter in a concert hall; or with the Unsortiertes Orchester Oldenburg in your school’s attic or at the dive bar around the corner. Or simply in its purest form. They say he’s quite good at reading aloud; he once spent a whole year doing nothing else and had the world’s most demanding audience—back then during his community service in Hamburg, but that’s another story...
His books have been translated into over 15 languages; his bestseller *Räuberhände* was a topic on the high school graduation exam and was adapted for the big screen by Oscar nominee Ilker Çatak.
