Germany's most popular girl gang is now newly illustrated. "You can't plan adventures like ballet or something. They wait around the corner and bam!, suddenly they're there!" explains Sprotte to her friends. That's true! Because as soon as the girls form their gang, they can hardly escape from adventures. To this day, the Wild Chickens are Germany's favorite girl gang, complete with a distinctive mark, a gang oath, and of course: the rival boys' gang, the "Pygmies." Over 3 million copies of the series have been sold. "The Wild Chickens" by Cornelia Funke is now newly illustrated in full color for a younger audience.
