Content
Kalle is excited: two weeks of soccer camp at Ballaburg Castle! Naturally, Kralle the Tomcat is coming along. Once they’re there, they quickly realise that something is very wrong at Ballaburg Castle. More and more soccer players seem to fall into some kind of training trance, and to make things worse, a headless ghost named Gerwald von Hackendampf is haunting the place. Kralle realises that the coach and his assistant have hypnotised the team to make sure they win the championship. Kalle and Kralle ask Grandpa One for help. He currently seems to be the only one who is thinking clearly and can hopefully help them get out of this mess and save the team.
About the Series
Kalle lives in a little garden house in Pitzelberg with his grandfather, an inventor, his father, a music teacher and musician, and a fat cat named Kralle. One day, Kalle discovers that Kralle can speak when he wears the Kitty Babble Collar, a speech collar invented by his grandpa. Together, Kalle and Kralle have many exciting and absurdly funny adventures.
The Author

Since 2015 Mauz has led the KIJUBU festival of literature for children and youth in St. Pölten, and has been nominated for prizes and distinctions, which are a special source of joy. So far 28 of his own books, four CDs, and several contributions to anthologies have appeared.
