Im Läseklub

Am Sunntig ha-n-i miis Träffe mit em Läseklub gha. Das isch alli zwöi Mönet.

Das Mal he-mer es Buech vo-mene junge Autor gläse. Mir sälber het das Buech nid so gfalle, aber mir hend sehr e gueti Diskussion drüber gha.

Das isch es Phantasii-Buech gsi. I dem Buech isch e schlächte König gsi und sini Bürger sind arm gsi und hend vil müsse schaffe.

Eines Tages het e jungi Frau e magische Schtei gfunde, wo ine het ghulfe.
Di jungi Frau isch zum König gange. Er het ire de magischi Schtei wölle wägnäh.

Im Buech het s vil Gwalt. Es isch chli e Schpiegel vo üsere Ziit.
Das isch s erschte Buech vo-n-ere Triologii, mir wüssed also nonig, öb s es Häppyend git, mir münd no warte, bis di nöchschte zwöi Büecher usechömed.

Jetz he-mer üs für es nöis Buech entschide.
Das isch es Buech über es abnormals Chind.

Ich fröie mi scho uf s nöchschte Träffe mit em Läseklub.
