My Opinion:
It's certainly not fair to review as adults an audiobook for children because I definitely do not belong to the target group.
However, I have a lot to do professionally with children and read not only because even very much to books that have been written for current meters, because I like the often quite simple world that is built here occasionally.
In this respect, I still allow myself to admit my two cents here.
Cornelia Funke is one definitely for me the best German children's book authors. Books like the Inkheart trilogy or the ghosts Hunter series have become classics and are also available in my shelf.
The "Wild Chicks" are several volumes created with one end, in principle, is not in sight, because books offer plenty of material about growing up.
In the first part, which is called just "Wild Chicks" decide the four friends, a band (just "Wild Chicks") to set up, where this is happening, especially in competition with an existing Young gang: the pygmies.
In fact, this is "struggle" boys against girls, another key element of the book, with the rival gangs play pranks each other repeatedly.
This is certainly something that everyone still knows from his own school days: Before guys are interesting, they are first cut and is separated clearly from them.
Here, the four girls are alone very different and certainly offer for every reader in a certain role model: the "beautiful" Melanie (is really called), the more brittle sprat (actually Charlotte, without a father, but with a taxi traveling nut) that domestic Frieda, who must always take care of her little brother. And in tow something clumsy Trude (the very name!), Who adores the "beautiful" Melanie regelreccht.
Even those roles are from their own schooldays known and offer enough potential for conflict and in fact it is also within the group of girls do not always go as harmonious as you want might expect.
But insofar asks the adult in me, girls like the "beautiful Melanie" Had really ever with someone like Trude "delivered"?
The black key moves after something in the background and so I eventually listened with half an ear only because the back and forth between boys and girls was me sometime too much. But as I said, I no longer belong to the target group also halt.
The author actually read autocratically calmly and with a smile in his voice own, which deserves additional respect.
Conclusion:
Audiobook to a not quite realistic girl clique, with quite stereotypical characters who would not have come into reality as safe together.
