From her own experience Annette Langen knows that the readers will think about the contents of the books just in the same way as Sophie gets interested in doing her own research. That's how she learned amazing details which allowed Felix to feel the real circus atmosphere and to write letters to Sophie about life in the circus. For "Letters from the Circus", for instance, she met people from Circus Krone and Circus Roncalli and interviewed children at the School for Circus Children in North Rhine-Westphalia. It therefore takes her usually 3 months of research until all the facts she uses in the books are "watertight". "My stories are meant to be informative but not didactic" Annette Langen says about her work. The special effect is that at the same time the letters give the young readers many interesting pieces of information on Felix´ respective whereabouts. In addition the books always contain a small surprise gift.
