The Forgotten Book German Edition:

"Gl ser writes in the tradition of beloved YA writers, such as Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, Susan Cooper and J. K. Rowling. . . . Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice may have been the starting point for Gl ser, but she has turned the old material of enemies-turned-lovers into a charming new story." --New Books in German
