One of the most popular and successful German children’s series is to be continued with a new team of investigators. The five young sleuths have their headquarters in the heart of Hamburg Harbour. Their adventures begin in an old warehouse in the famous Speicherstadt district, where millions of kilos of coffee, tea and spices from overseas are stored. In the 13 new detective stories, the “Peppercorns” track down thieves, polluters, crooks, fences, drug traffickers and other suspicious entities. But the children from Hamburg have everyday pleasures, worries and experiences to cope with too, just like most other young kids do.
