Autorentext

Torben Kuhlmann lives and works in Hamburg as a freelance children’s author and illustrator. He studied illustration and communications design at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. He wrote and illustrated his first picture book, Lindbergh: the Tale of a Flying Mouse, in 2012 as his final thesis, and it was published in 2014 by NordSüd Verlag. It quickly became a bestseller and has been translated into more than 30 languages. Three more mouse adventures followed and were equally successful. In 2024, the tenth anniversary was celebrated by the publication of Earhart, the fifth book in the series. However, a few mouse-free books have also crept into the repertoire during the last ten years, including Moletown and The Gray City.

Klappentext

Die Mäusewelt hat sich verändert, kluge Mäuse studieren an Mäuseuniversitäten. Wissbegierig verfolgen sie die Erfindungen der Menschen. Dank einer alten vergilbten Tagebuchnotiz seines Urahns erfährt der junge Mäuserich Pete von einem Schatz, der auf dem Meeresgrund verschollen sein soll. Mit Hilfe seines Mäuseprofessors setzt er nun alles daran, diesen Schatz zu bergen. Die beiden erleben nicht nur ein fantastisches Abenteuer, sondern machen dabei auch eine Entdeckung, die die Menschheit für immer erleuchten wird. Torben Kuhlmanns große Begeisterung für Science-Fiction und Abenteuergeschichten führt ihn diesmal unter den Meeresspiegel. Kuhlmanns zeichnerische Sorgfalt und seine Liebe zum Detail kommen in atemberaubenden Bildern zum Tragen. Dem Betrachter erschließen sich komplett neue Bildwelten. Der dritte Band der Mäuseabenteuer ist eine konsequente Weiterführung von Kuhlmanns Illustrationskunst.
