In July 2016, Magellan Verlag published Fesler's debut novel Lizzy Carbon and the Losers Club . Britta Selle, children's and youth book editor at MDR Kultur , says that Fesler does not shy away from big and small truths in his book: “There is clearly talk of bullying and exclusion, injustice and venom are shown. At the same time, he looks at different family constellations and the difficulties that accompany growing up . ”Fesler used the Martin Luther School he attended in Rimbach as the backdrop for his debut novel.
