The Dragon's Secret (1921) is a youth adventure novel by Augusta Huiell Seaman. Leslie Crane is a lively teenager companion to her sick aunt on a holiday spent on the beach.

Her dog digs out a box of metal, with a delicately carved dragon on it. The box was found close to a cottage, which was thought to be empty, but it is full of adventure: strange lights, visitors at stormy nights, and so on. Though there are no living dragons in it, the well-written mystery catches and maintains your attention.

Summary:

The Sheridan Road Mystery (1921) is a novel by Paul and Mabel Thorne. Excerpt from the book: 'Policeman Murphy stopped for a moment, as was his custom, at the corner of Lawrence Avenue and Sheridan Road. He knew that it was about two o'clock in the morning as that was the hour at which he usually reached this point. He glanced sharply up and down Sheridan Road, which at that moment seemed to be completely deserted save for the distant red tail-light of a belated taxi, the whir of whose engine came to him quite distinctly on the quiet night air. JUST THEN POLICEMAN MURPHY HEARD A SHOT!' The shot turns out to be a rather mysterious one, since no victim was found on the spot. The investigation is led by the experienced Detective Sergeant Dave Morgan, with the unusual involvement of Mr. Marsh, who reported that 'I think somebody has been murdered in our building.'

Summary:

The Bird Study Book (1917) is a bird-handbook by Thomas Gilbert Pearson. Excerpt from the book: 'This book was written for the consideration of that ever-increasing class of Americans who are interested in acquiring a greater familiarity with the habits and activities of wild birds. There are many valuable publications treating more or less exhaustively of the classification of birds, as well as of form, color, distribution, migration, songs, and foods. Here an attempt is made to place before the reader a brief consideration of these and many similar topics, and suggest lines of action and thought that may perhaps stimulate a fuller study of the subject. Attention is also given to the relation of birds to mankind and the effect of civilization on the bird-life of the country.'

Hey, mein Freund' sagte Paul, 'laß uns mit dem Taxi nach Sydney fahren'. Und so fing alles an

Drei Freunde, ein Abend im Pub und eine verrückte Idee: Paul, Johno und Leigh kaufen auf ebay ein altes Londoner Taxi, nennen es Hannah und gehen auf Weltreise. Ihr erstes Ziel ist Australien, was folgt sind 70.000 km, ohne Plan, mit minimalem Budget reisen sie über Autobahnen, Schotterpisten, durch Wüsten und Eis. Übernachten? Das Motto heißt Couchsurfing, denn so lernt man Land und Leute kennen! Manchmal wird es aber auch eine Gefängnispritsche, der Autositz, eine Luftmatratze. Sie entdecken die Schönheit der Nordlichter, sie staunen über farbenprächtige Märkte, halten den Atem an in einsamen Berggegenden, feiern rauschende Parties. Es kommt zu gefährlichen Abenteuern und skurrilen Begegnungen, doch das Trio schafft es mit Humor und etwas Glück allen Hindernissen zu trotzen, fährt sich in das Guinness Buch der Rekorde und schließt Freundschaften in aller Welt.

Am Ende stehen 4 Kontinente, 50 bereiste Länder, 97 Reparaturen und 2 Einschusslöcher an Hannah.Eine Story von der Lust, das Unmögliche wahr zu machen.

'Ein Trip genau nach meinem Geschmack - wäre ich jünger, mutiger und verrückt genug.' Bill Bryson
