Orkus! book tip: NICO ROSE – “Micha and the Metal”

NICO ROSE
“Micha und der Metal“
(Edition Roter Drache)

Nico Rose is actually known for his bestseller “Hard, Heavy and Happy”. Now, inspired by his own offspring, he dares to write a children’s book. “Micha und der Metal” is about a fourth-grader who loses his mother, is still trying to find his place in his new environment with his stepmother and one day meets his neighbor Ritchie. He is different from other adults, with long hair and a leather jacket. He also listens to strange, loud music, which gradually captivates Micha. Rose uses language and situations that all children will understand and incorporates the basics of hard guitar music with hints. The perfect bedtime story for the next generation of headbangers.
