Sophie's cat has escaped. When she follows him, she discovers that he apparently has a second home: an old house, through the open door of which he disappears. Soon, Sophie meets the resident of the house: Theodora, an original old lady who was once a race car driver and the first woman to drive around the world in her car. Sophie becomes friends with her. But does that mean her best friend Lotta has to become jealous? Can’t Sophie be friends with both? Finding that out is not so easy. But Theodora helps her by taking her on fabulous journeys and setting right many things that confuse Sophie. Gerlinde Kurz has written a wonderful novel about friendship and jealousy, about traveling and dreams coming true, inspired by the life of race car driver Clärenore Stinnes.
