Book about girl whose father built a dam
Posted: 07 Jun 2012, 17:29
I would be very glad if I could get some help with a book search, too.
All I know is that it was no Blyton book.
I tried the Youth Books Library in Munich (Schloss Blutenburg), but to no avail.
Tried some other websites and somebody suggested Berte Bratt, but her books have no plot description on amazon.de, so I couldn't find it there.
The short plot that I remember:
It's about a girl who's engineer father has to leave her for many weeks/months in order to build a dam either far away or in another country.
That's all I remember.
I did borrow this book from the school library in Friedrichshafen, Germany, between 1963 and 1964. It was an old book when I read it, so it must have been published in the fifties maybe.
Of course I already contacted that school 2 years ago twice, but never received an answer from them.
As I'm not sure if it was by a German or British or American author, there might be a chance that somebody from EBS recognizes the book and could give me a tip.
So far I found every book that I loved when I was a child, except this one.
