Emil and the Detectives

Originally published in 1929, Erich KÃ¤stnerâ€™s engaging tale has delighted readers young and old for generations.
Itâ€™s Emilâ€™s first train ride alone and heâ€™s excitedâ€•and a little nervous. On the train, his fellow passengers are impressed with how polite and grown-up Emil is, and the man in the bowler hat offers him some chocolateâ€•but Emil keeps checking his coat pocket, where heâ€™s pinned the money that he is taking to his grandmother. Soon, though, Emil finds himself getting sleepy . . . and the next thing he knows, the man in the bowler hat is goneâ€• and so is the money! With the help of some new friends Emil becomes a detective and tracks the thief through the city.

Filled with enduring themes of leadership, courage, and teamwork, and the delightful illustrations of Walter Trier, Emil and the Detectives is a rollicking, heartwarming tale come alive.
