Paul is not a hero. He is not particularly brave or smart. He doesn't experience any extraordinary adventures either. Paul is twelve, quite scatterbrained, and that makes his life adventurous enough! What makes Paul special is his diary. In it, he records his experiences, honestly and with humor: Karl, the new kid in class, seems to be good at everything, Leon is afraid of "sausage animals," and Marco is the born victim. While camping in the playground, they get caught in a crazy storm, a sleeping bag monster appears during a sleepover at school, and the ski trip with the class ends in extreme embarrassment. And then there's Sarah, whom Paul has a bit of a crush on. A whole year full of challenges! The creation of this book is unusual, as Daniela Böhles' twelve-year-old son came up with all of Paul's adventures. Thus, a book for boys was born, in which boys can see themselves.
