Kaspar Glas is een onopvallende jongen die niet wordt gezien door zijn klasgenoten vanwege zijn slimheid. Dan overlijden zeer plotseling zijn ouders en trekt hij in bij zijn merkwaardige oma. Zijn grootmoeder besluit hem zelf te onderwijzen en leert hem zaken waarvan hij nog nooit heeft gehoord. Terwijl zijn oude leven lijkt op te lossen is er een ding dat hem overeind houdt, de boeken van de historische avonturenreeks Pieter Paksan. Op zijn twaalfde verjaardag leest Kaspar de hoofdpersoon los. Pieter, dolblij dat hij verlost is van zijn eigen avonturen, neemt Kaspar mee naar de Wereld van Verbeelding. Daar realiseert Kaspar zich dat, als hij hier levend wil uitkomen, hij gebruik moet maken van zijn eigen talent, zijn slimheid.
Avonturen van Glas (11+) is volgens menig lezer een ode aan de fantasie. Een boek dat je pakt, je meeneemt en je niet meer loslaat.
Het jeugdboek Avonturen van Glas stimuleert kinderen om te dúrven zijn wie ze wíllen zijn; hun eigen legende te leven. Dat geldt ook voor kinderen met dyslexie! Het bijzondere is dan ook, dat dit het eerste kinderboek van de wereld is dat ook is uitgegeven in Dyslexie, het lettertype van Christian Boer dat heel makkelijk te lezen is voor mensen met dyslexie. Avonturen van Glas verscheen in de top tien van best verkochte kinderboeken van CPNB Kind & Jeugd. Daarnaast heeft Lorena Veldhuijzen namens de stichting Leef je Taalent honderden boeken op basisscholen gratis kunnen verspreiden.

Kaspar Glass is an unassuming boy. He doesn’t get noticed much by his classmates because he is very smart. When his parents suddenly die, he moves in with his peculiar grandmother. His grandmother decides to homeschool him and teaches Kaspar about things he has never heard of before. While his old life seems to disintegrate, there is one thing that keeps him going, the historical adventure book series ‘Pieter Paksan’. On Kaspar’s twelfth birthday his reading somehow releases the main character Pieter from the book. Pieter is delighted to be free from the books’ adventures and takes Kaspar along to the imaginary world.
