Michael Ende

Lenchen's parents never want what Lenchen wants. That's just mean! So she asks a fairy to cast a spell on her parents. At first it works quite well. Bit by bit the parents get smaller and the more they shrink, the better Lenchen can assert herself. Finally there are biscuits for dinner and cartoons instead of boring news. But the upside-down world has its pitfalls and soon Lenchen wants to reverse the spell. But how?
