Lapislazuli: In the Eye of the Bear
(Lapislazuli: Im Äuge des Baren)
In German with English subtitles • When a blazing meteorite streaks across the sky and wakes Sophie from a dream, she turns as usual to her diary. Since her mother died and her father remarried, she's felt terribly alone. But a mystery is unfolding that will change her life. High in the Alps, the meteorite has crash landed, awakening a Neanderthal boy who has been frozen in a comalike sleep for thousands of years. Sophie, making a midnight getaway from a mountaintop vacation cabin, and the boy, Bataa, meet in another kind of crash–of language, culture and modern and ancient worlds. The two form a bond, as lonely wanderers searching for home, and Sophie risks everything to help Bataa when it becomes clear that he can't survive in this time and place. A beautiful, tender tale of friendship and the ways we define family, Lapislazuli is filled with adventure and emotion. Ages 7+ — D. Quinones
