Ein lustiges Kinderhörbuch über Freundschaft und eine wunderbar unperfekte Familie. Juri, Kette und Quark sind eine richtige Chaostruppe. Das sagt jedenfalls Mama. Juri findet, dass er und seine Freunde einfach nur sehr gute Ideen haben. Wie zum Beispiel das Karacho-Rennen im Einkaufswagen. Oder die Entdeckung von Sofalonien. Oder die Sache mit dem Umgekehrt-Klauen. Aber auch wenn mal was schiefläuft – meistens müssen am Ende Mama, Papa und Opa Eule doch mitlachen.
