Life began that summer – with Christoph Kramer
He played soccer for Borussia Mönchengladbach in the German Bundesliga, was a member of the national team from 2014 to 2016, winning the World Cup in 2014, and is a much sought-after expert. Now, Christoph Kramer presents his literary debut. Summer 2006 – one record hot day after another, the World Cup is electrifying the country and 15-year-old Chris’s whole life is changing. He wants to become a professional soccer player but, above all, he wants to finally be cool. Just like any other teen, Chris is trying to find himself. When Debbie starts to show interest in him as well, it’s the start of an emotional roller coaster ride, and Chris goes all in. With warmth and a feel for the little things that mean everything in life, Kramer writes in Das Leben fing im Sommer an [“Life Began that Summer”] about the highs and lows of growing up, about friendship and first love.
