Anna, Daniel, and Lucas seem to be living a dream. While their
parents take care of a castle, they have the run of the grounds and
the beautiful surrounding countryside. Their only concern is how
best to catch the mysterious pike that lurks in the deep water of
the moat. But when Daniel and Lucas's mother first begins to seem
tired all the time, and then loses her hair, Anna wonders what is
going on. It is cancer, she is told, but Daniel and Lucas must not
know. As the summer days grow shorter and the colors of the fields
and flowers change, the boys eventually learn of their mother's
illness. Daniel becomes convinced that catching the pike will bring
luck -- that it might even cure his mother. But as her condition
worsens, these three true friends can only wish that they could
stop the destructive march of time. Jutta Richter's powerful prose
makes this sensitive story set during a summer idyll an
unforgettable one.
