Rosalinde by Christine Nöstlinger has a hole in her sock, a bandage around her knee, a ladybug in her hand, and a necklace around her neck. Rosalinde has thoughts in her head. Secret thoughts, joyful thoughts, and brave thoughts. Rosalinde wants to become a captain or a pilot. But Fredi says that's not possible, "a captain needs a lot of courage. He needs three times as much courage as a girl can possibly have!" But that makes Rosalinde really angry! Because Rosalinde is a lovable, headstrong heroine with much more than just fanciful ideas in her mind.
