Lola's father is from Brazil, her aunt is only 80-centimetres high and at night she turns into the famous singer Jacky Jones, charming her many million fans. However, Lola does not have a best friend - and that's what she longs for most of all. At her new school, Lola meets the strange girl Flo, who smells horribly of fish. Annalisa visits her just at the moment when Lola's stark-naked father is storming furiously round the flat, because his daughter has unintentionally locked him in the bathroom all day. It's pretty obvious that Lola is going to have to think of another way to find a friend. So she sends her dearest wish up into the sky tied to the end of a balloon. And gets back a mysterious message in a bottle...
Best-selling author Isabel Abedi has got off to a splendid start with a very special girls' book series. Lola, distinctively portrayed in Dagmar Henze's charming illustrations, is so attractive and adorable - and her experiences so hilarious - that she will win the hearts of girls of all ages.
