De mythe over de groenkleurige Brugse bankvoeten met mooie tekeningen van Brugse kinderen.

Na het halloweenfeest wandelt Noor naar huis. De kortste weg loopt door het kerkhof. Het is er donker en Noor struikelt. Ze valt in een verwaarloosd graf dat van een ontdekkingsreiziger blijkt te zijn. Het enige dat door haar hoofd spookt is: wat moet ik doen? Ze neemt haar aansteker en houdt het vlammetje bij de grond. In de aarde vindt ze een skelet, een schatkaart met aanwijzingen en een doorzichtig koffertje met een blauw, gespikkeld ei. Noor leest de aanwijzingen bij de kaart zorgvuldig door. Tot haar verbazing blijkt het ei van een draak te zijn. Wat nu? Moet Noor de instructies volgen? Moet ze voor het eitje zorgen? Wat betekent dit voor het leven van Noor en haar mama? Over de auteur Jessie Veraverbeke is een liefhebber van tekenen, schilderen en schrijven. Ze houdt van de zee, maar ook van de stad.

It is Joe's last masterful move, when he knows he is doomed: to travel with his son Woelie. To get to know each other. To put Woelie on his own two feet. To say goodbye.

Months later, Woelie writes down their story. Searching for the right beginning, he addresses the reader directly and draws him into his moving story.

Woelie had been home for months when his father became ill. Because that was easier than going to school, where he had to explain something for the umpteenth time. Years earlier, his mother was admitted to an institution, and since then he and his father Joe have run a typical male household, in which more silence is used than talk.

At home, Woelie stares at a DVD of train journeys through Europe all day long and keeps the rest of the world at bay. That's the only way he can survive.

Until disaster strikes. During a final unforgettable Rail Away tour through Europe, the
bond between Woelie and Joe is growing. And as the farewell draws closer, they get to know themselves, each other and the world.

Ilias is a very ordinary boy. But sometimes ordinary children do extraordinary things. As he grows up, Ilias must not only learn to conquer the mountain, but also find his own way and learn what it means to carry your own backpack.

Ilias's Mountain is the story of an ordinary boy named Ilias, who lives with his parents and little sister Ella in a small mountain village. It seems like a carefree village, with a small stream, a village square with a fountain, and a few charming shops. But Ilias's life is far from carefree.

Ilias fears he'll become like his father, angry and frustrated. But Ilias isn't as ordinary as he looks; he wants to do things differently from the grown-ups and their traditions. His friend and mentor, Thomas, the baker, takes Ilias under his wing, and together they make the journey up the mountain. That journey, their conversation, and what happens on the mountaintop not only changes Ilias's perspective, it changes his whole life.

Henry David Thoreau – writer, philosopher, and teacher – once wrote:
"It's not what you look at, it's what you see."
In The Mountain of the Iliad this saying comes to life.
