    Brief synopsis

    Ida has had to move to another town and is now the “new girl” at the Winterstein School. She has a hard time in the new class. The only place left for her to sit is next to the outsider Benni. One day her teacher, Miss Cornfield, announces the arrival of an unusual man. The school will be visited by Mortimer Morrison, who travels the world looking for magical animals. Their magic is that they can talk with the human who becomes their companion. A magical animal will never abandon their friend in need. They are the most faithful companions you can imagine. Ida and Benni are the first in the class to have magical companions. Suddenly it turns out that everyone wants to be friends with them. Meanwhile, objects start disappearing at school. The children and the magical animals have to stick together to solve the mystery of the school thief… A story filled with magical adventures, based on the best-selling book series by Margit Auer.
