I finally came round to reading this book about two weeks ago. One other book and two audiobooks managed to wringle in between - that is to say it was not that captivating. Nice little story if nothing better is around but clearly ment for younger readers. In contrary to "Harry Potter" from book 3 on or "His dark Material" this one stays simple and short. Even if sequels were to be had I will not not go looking for them. I´d recomment the book for Kids between 12-14.
I dear say I found a gap or two in the logic of the book (fiction DOES have to make sense in contrary to real life ;-).

I will take the book along to the meeting this evening in the "Scheune" in Rennerod.
Took it with me in Rennerod mainly out of curiosity - the title suggests that there are approx. two books in the world...
Thank you!
Now I broke the system by adding Rennerod to the wrong state - so sorry!
Thankfully the state issue got fixed.
On the book:
I'm not quite into this fantasy-knights-from-old-times-making-magic-happen thing, so it wasn't appealing to me very much. Plus I had to look up so many words not present in my everyday vocabulary.
However I realized that boarding schools in old castles seem to always make for good children's adventures.

I do like fiction for children, so I will give it a try :-)
