Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

As the son of a diplomat, Howie Rocket has already seen plenty of places in the world. But when his dad, Moses, receives a curious letter from a friend, Howie is sent on a dizzying search for a stolen treasure, the elusive Lovely Precious. Along with Moses and his friend, Eric Dutch, Howie flies to the world's most enchanting cities, visiting such popular sites as the Eiffel Tower, the canals of Venice, and even the Great Wall of China. Just as the clues get more confusing, and the Lovely Precious seems more elusive than ever, Howie receives the shock of his life. All the pieces of the puzzle come together when he finds himself in Krinkelstein, the homeland of his parents, and the place where the mystery began. To add to the fun, at the end of each chapter, you will find a picture of a featured site and a translation of popular phrases, just in case you want to start your own world adventure!
