A small cross-section – knowledge, personality and adventure, for children and grown-ups alike. And much more is on the way.
For kids
New · Volume 1 · ages 10+
The Business Guinea Pigs – Volume 1: Wer kassiert mit? (Who takes a cut?)
Economics and politics for kids 10+ – a bilingual German/English everyday adventure with four talking guinea pigs. Volume 1 “Wer kassiert mit?” is out now: taxes, money and profit finally explained in a way kids love. As paperback and eBook.
Why this book exists: because kids are surrounded by money, prices and taxes every day – and hardly anyone explains how it all connects. Knowledge school leaves out.
New · Volume 2 · ages 10+
The Business Guinea Pigs – Volume 2: The Lazy Supplier
Contracts, the small print and your rights – explained for kids 10+. The cheapest seller delivers late and poorly and still wants his money: Mojito reads the purchase contract. Bilingual German/English, available as a paperback and eBook.
Why this book exists: because contracts and consumer rights are part of everyday life – and no one is too young to understand what they are actually signing.
And for the grown-ups

Prägung – It reads you before you know yourself. (German eBook)
Near-future suspense (German eBook): Lara Voss has built a machine that does not read what you think – but how. Then the system starts reflecting things nobody entered. And the deeper Lara digs, the clearer it becomes: the sabotage comes from within.
