      <strong>Eine abenteuerliche Zeitreise in die eigene Familiengeschichte</strong> Als ihr geliebter Großvater stirbt, hinterlässt er seiner elfjährigen Enkelin Dally eine geheime Nachricht und eine Karte. Dally folgt dieser (natürlich) und entdeckt die ›Bibliothek der Geheimnisse‹, ein uraltes mächtiges Gebäude, in dem die Bücher zwar nicht ausgeliehen werden können, aber Portale sind zu großen Abenteuern – auch ins eigene Leben. Dally taucht tief ein in die Geheimnisse ihrer eigenen Familiengeschichte, geht mit ihren Piraten-Vorfahren im 19. Jahrhundert auf Kaperfahrt, wird aber auch Zeugin, wie ihre Familie Diskriminierung in den 60er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts erdulden muss. So lernt sie ihren Großvater, aber auch ihren Vater und die scheinbar so unnahbare Mutter neu und besser kennen.
