Subtitles: German
The story of 11-year-old Felix, whom nobody believes has "shrunk" the universally-hated school Principal Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein to a height of just 15 centimeters. Even he does not know how it happened and whether it maybe has something to do with the ghost of the school's founder. But he now has the problem on his hands or, more accurately, in his backpack, because that is where the mini- principal is now and she is still ranting and raving. Together with his friend Ella and against his rival Mario and the latter's father, Felix has to try everything to get her back to her normal size. If only she would just stop being so annoying!

Once again, the well- matched and inseparable Rico and Oskar have a new, exciting case to break, one that takes them this time to the Baltic Sea. Old man Fitzke has died, leaving his
beloved collection of stones to Rico. The boys discover that the most valuable one of them all has been stolen. Their true detective instincts are now in top gear! Even better, the grown-ups are away on holiday in Sri Lanka, so that’s too far off to prevent the boys doing some real
detecting. Of course, this being Rico and Oskar, there is far, far more to the case than first meets the eye.
