Content
Lilly and her uncle, the magical shoemaker Clemens Wonder, had to flee from the blackbird street with their workshop head over heels. Since there is not much choice of empty houses at such short notice, they have to move spontaneously into an old school building. There Lilly meets Sören, who is hiding in the old school from the mean boys in his class. Lilly, with her sensitive intuition, realizes at first glance that Sören needs their help. It's not only his classmates who make life difficult for him, his parents also put him under pressure. They want to persuade him to participate in a marathon. But Sören would much rather take care of dogs at the shelter. His favourite animal there is the greyhound Ronja - but suddenly the unsympathetic Mrs. Winsel appears, who absolutely wants to take Ronja and who keeps asking Sören highly suspicious questions about the old school building.Finally, Sören's parents set him an almost impossible task: If Sören wins the marathon, he can keep Ronja. Luckily, Lilly is now in place! She finds out which shoes Sören needs: the fast "Fortuna", so that he not only wins the marathon, but also gets the self-confidence to find his own way.
Things get dramatic when it turns out that the mysterious woman is one of the GREEDY ONES who kidnapped Lilly's parents. When it is almost too late, Lilly manages to finish sewing the shoes for Sören. In the end, greyhound Ronja is allowed to stay with Sören, but Lilly and Uncle Clemens have to flee once again with all their belongings ...
