About love for the stars, the stars and the earthly Berlin 1997: Nelly Sue Edelmeister is a future space explorer, a brilliant student and - totally in love. And with fifteen-year-old Prince William. Lucy, Nelly's American mother, doesn't find this funny at all. Instead of royal websites, she wants her daughter to study the Torah: Nelly's "bat mitzvah" is coming up. But when the school team is invited to a basketball tournament in England, Nelly, who previously gave every sports field a wide berth, has only one goal: she wants to go. Perhaps a deal can be arranged with that basketball crack in the bat look, the unspeakable Maximilian Minsky. Awarded the German Youth Literature Prize.
