About the love for the stars, the celebrities, and the earthly: Berlin 1997: Nelly Sue Edelmeister is a future space researcher, a brilliant student, and totally in love. And that is with fifteen-year-old Prince William. Lucy, Nelly's American mother, does not find this funny at all. Instead of royal websites, she would prefer her daughter to study the Torah: Nelly's Bat Mitzvah is approaching. However, when the school team is invited to a basketball tournament in England, Nelly, who had previously avoided any sports field, has only one goal: she wants to go. Maybe a deal can be arranged with that basketball whiz in the bat-themed outfit, the unbearable Maximilian Minsky. Awarded the German Youth Literature Prize.
