Sailing with Bettina Göschl: 'The Ghosts of the Ship' in Göttingen
When stories resonate with the sea, adventure, and mysterious trails, a library transforms into a ship on the high seas. On Thursday, November 19, 2026, children’s author and songwriter Bettina Göschl brings her series 'The Ghosts of the Ship' to the City Library of Göttingen. The event is exclusively aimed at 3rd and 4th grade elementary school classes.
A musical reading full of adventure
At the center is 'The Ghosts of the Ship – The Magical Compass', an imaginative story of ghostly appearances, seafaring, and mysterious discoveries. Bettina Göschl combines narrative tension with musical elements, creating a lively reading experience that immediately immerses children in the action.
Language, voice, and pirate guitar
Bettina Göschl not only reads her stories but also accompanies her performances with her guitar Gitti. Songs, rhythmic language, and direct participation moments are part of her characteristic style. The reading atmosphere remains approachable and interactive: concentrated listening creates a shared literary experience where imagination, language art, and movement come together.
Literature for curious elementary school children
As a trained educator and experienced children’s author, Bettina Göschl knows the needs of young readers precisely. Since the 1990s, she has been writing songs and stories for children, working for children's television, and publishing numerous books and CDs. Together with Klaus-Peter Wolf, she developed successful children’s book series such as 'The North Sea Detectives'.
Promoting reading with maritime fantasy
The musical author encounter combines reading promotion with cultural education. Adventure literature, character imagination, and the acoustic design of the story provide children with a playful access to reading. Particularly, the connection between book, voice, and music demonstrates how directly literary narratives can impact when experienced live.
Conclusion: A morning among books, ghosts, and the high seas
The reading with Bettina Göschl promises elementary school classes a varied morning full of excitement, music, and imaginative stories. Teachers should register their class early by email, as the spots are limited and, based on experience, highly sought after. Those who want to experience literature vividly, collectively, and with all the senses will find a particularly impressive format in this author reading.
