Olen itse lukenut häneltä ainoastaan Radleyn perhe - vampyyriromaanin, joten oli ihan mielenkiintoista tarttua hänen uusimpaan lastenkirjaansa "Eevin eläinmaailma" (Aula, 2021). kann sie deren Gedanken hören und sie dann ebenfalls in Gedanken ansprechen, was zumindest den Peinlichkeitsfaktor ein wenig reduziert. Das Ende spitzt sich dafür sehr dramatisch zu und ist schon etwas heftig für ein Kinderbuch ab 9 Jahren.

The really skilfully drawn character is Evie herself though – one of the very clever things that Matt Haig achieves with this book is to make it sound like an 11 year old girl. It has plenty of fun adventures, self-exploration, as well as lots of important teachings about humans in general, that Matt Haig shares with his young readers. This superpower, running through generations of family on her mother’s side, has to be kept top secret because it puts her life in danger, just as her mum’s life had been endangered by the bond-like villain of the piece “Mortimer J Mortimer”. For all these reasons, I think it is a book that is enjoyed by its intended audience (6 upwards but ideal for early KS2) more than adult readers – our pleasure lies in hearing them all shout “oh just one more chapter – pleeeease! uk will use the information you provide on this form to be in touch with you and to provide updates and marketing.

I understand that the author has a young daughter himself – and you can hear her role as both muse and consultant in every page of this book! Een van de boodschappen van het verhaal is dat je jezelf moet durven te zijn en dat is in sommige situaties nog best lastig.

Den dritten Stern gibt es, da es am Ende doch recht spannend wurde und ein paar gute Ideen im Buch stecken. Until a year later pets on her street - including Lady Gaga the cat and a hamster named Cheryl - start disappearing. Der Schreibstil ist echt angenehm zu lesen und für Kinder gut geeignet aber nicht zu einfach gehalten. It really gives you all the warm and fuzzy feelings when reading and have I mentioned the amazing illustrations?Die Zeit drängt, und nur mit tierischer Hilfe hat Evie eine Chance, das drohende Unheil zu verhindern. Evie can talk to animals, or rather she can hear their thoughts and then talk to them in her mind as well, which at least reduces the awkwardness factor a bit. i loved this so much and i loved how he subtly discussed climate change and environmentalism which is super important for kids to be aware of!
