Rüdiger Bertram & Sonja Kurzbach
The Glitter Gang Always Helps! (Unfortunately, making things worse)
A load of crazy fun for unicorn fans – and anyone who never wanted to be one!
The Glitter Gang – made up of Ella the unicorn, Felix the flamingo, Luna the llama and Franz the sloth – think they’re absolutely brilliant. After all, they’re the children’s saviours! As soon as a child is in trouble, the Glitter Gang races off, down from the rainbow where the four of them live, to wherever help is needed. Unfortunately, the four of them aren’t always particularly skilful at what they do…
“If we hadn’t turned the department shop upside down, the shop assistants wouldn’t have chased us, and then I wouldn’t have carried Kai on my back, and then he might never have found his parents,” says Ella. “We did a brilliant job.”

“Unicorn & Co. with a twist – a real treat for children and parents alike!” – Kilifü – Children’s Literature Almanac 2022/23
“This book doesn’t take the colourful, glittering world of unicorns all that seriously, but gives it a good ribbing instead. The result is a fast-paced read-aloud book that’s sure to raise plenty of laughs.” – Janett Cernohuby, Bücherkarussell
“The story is funny (even for adults), heart-warming and great entertainment. The four members of the Glitter Gang get themselves into the most absurd situations, which will have you laughing out loud. It shows that you don’t have to be a hero – or even perfect – to be able to help others.” –Anja @anjas_buchspuren
“Wonderful chaos, illustrated in a dazzling array of colours.” – Beate Schräder, YANGO Westfälische Nachrichten
