A boy struggles to survive the horrors of life in the Auschwitz concentration camp
The Prickle Sisters are back! Fans of all ages can for the first time in English, read the adventure of the Haunted Mill as well as a brand new story that takes place at FACTS, the Belgian Comic Con. Little girls grow up. This doesn’t just apply to the young and perhaps already slightly older fans, but also to the little Prickles themselves. Or is it best to say the Prickle sisters from now on (for our own safety)? After their adventure in the Haunted Mill (included in full in this book), the infamous family moves to the city, and the sisters attend secondary school. Cool, because then they can torment not just one, but several teachers there. Besides, there’s a lot of fun stuff happening in the city. Like FACTS, for instance, the Belgian Comic-Con, where this time none other than teen idol and super-popular comic and film hero Spicky Spike is coming to sign autographs. Unfortunately, tickets for this delightful event sold out in an instant. But then help suddenly arrives from an unexpected quarter. The PRICKLES are back! and with a vengeance.

After making a deal with her mother, Ingrid finds herself on a hardcore, three-week wilderness trek with a group of "at risk youth". There must have been some mistake.
