A fantastic journey to the Island of the Schlasocks
When Jasper flies over the sea with a drone in the middle of the night, an extraordinary family experience full of fantasy, wit, and mysterious creatures begins for children from eight years old. At the reading as part of the 33rd Freiburg Children's Literature Festival, author Nils Mohl takes his audience to an island where Schlasocks, Schnarnas, and Trütass live.
Word acrobatics, monsters, and plenty of curiosity
Jasper feels abandoned at home and lands on a mysterious island. There, he encounters monstrous inhabitants who hardly know what a child actually does. Together with the young listeners, he gets to the bottom of the mystery of this unusual place.
A child-friendly learning experience with a lot of fun
The reading combines children's literature, humor, and shared listening. Imaginative neologisms stimulate linguistic development, while Jasper's journey touches on themes such as friendship, courage, hope, and solidarity. The story shows age-appropriately how collective action can change a difficult situation.
Nils Mohl as an award-winning guest reader
Nils Mohl lives as a freelance writer in Hamburg and has published several volumes of poetry as well as novels. For his literary work, he was awarded the German Children's Literature Prize and in 2024 the James Krüss Prize for International Children's and Youth Literature. With The Island of the Schlasocks, he presents his first children's book.
