Description

Climb up the wall, across the platforms and use your grappling hook to unscrew the cog. Left Room (optional) schade fand ich auch, dass ich zu unserer Hauptprotagonistin Imogen keine richtige Bindung aufbauen konnte. Irgendwie hatte sie etwas an sich, was mich gestört hat, mit ihr bin ich leider bis zum Schluss nicht komplett warmgeworden. J’ai adoré l’univers et les personnages qui pour le coup ont chacun leur propre caractère et surtout leurs défauts! This is not a story for the faint-hearted! There are some rather gruesome details. The monsters like to “slice and dice” their victims. Prejudice and bigotry are demonstrated by some characters. I found the cruelty to animals confronting. The story and characters create many points for discussion which will make this a useful book in classrooms, libraries and at home. Reader notes or teaching notes would be useful. Nei loro giochi, Imogen fa sempre la parte della protagonista e decide cosa fare mentre alla povera sorellina minore spetta sempre il ruolo dell'antagonista che fa una fine misera.

Dit boek is in alle opzichten een typische kinderboek. Het verhaal zit barstensvol kleurrijke en unieke karakters, op een prachtige manier getekend door Chris Riddell, die weliswaar niet heel gelaagd zijn, maar die hun rol wel allemaal met ongelooflijk veel verve spelen. Ik kan me heel goed voorstellen dat de kinderen ongelooflijk gaan genieten van de held die eigenlijk helemaal niet zo'n held is (of toch wel?), van de boze stiefmoeder en van de verwende jonge prins die denkt dat de hele wereld om hem draait. Secret treasures and stones are part of Drakomor’s hoard hidden throughout his castle chambers. The most valuable of these is the Sertze Hora, the heart of the Klenot Mountain which he’d stolen long ago, and whose absence has caused the slow death of the forests and the skret that escaped and now live there. It is this theft that caused the schism which darkens the Kingdom.

Use a compass to locate the North. The position of the North Star above the horizon corresponds to the latitude of your location. For example, if you are 38 degrees North, then the North Star will be 38 degrees from the horizon. At the North Pole, the North Star is 90 degrees from the horizon (overhead). At the equator, it is 0 degrees from the horizon (touching it). Mir, als Erwachsene, hat diese dunkle und unheilschwangere Stimmung der Geschichte total gut gefallen. Dank der phantastischen, mystischen Welt, in die uns die Autorin mitnimmt, gewinnt die Erzählung etwas richtig Märchenhaftes, was mich, als große Märchenliebhaberin, überaus gefreut hat. Also ich bin kulissenmäßig definitiv vollauf auf meine Kosten gekommen. Eine große finstere Burg, ein bedrohlicher Wald – fand ich echt klasse und da alles sehr bildhaft und atmosphärisch beschrieben wird, habe ich mir von sämtlichen Schauplätzen ein ganz genaues Bild machen können. Ein wenig schade fand ich nur, dass es keine Landkarte vom Setting im Buch gibt. Eine Karte hätte ich irgendwie ziemlich cool gefunden. Aber wie gesagt, ich habe mich auch ohne eine grafische Darstellung problemlos in Francesca Gibbons‘ Fantasywelt zurechtfinden können.

Suddenly, they are trapped and it’s all Marie’s fault. But on the other side of the gate, there is a new world, different to theirs. A world where they meet Miro, a boy dressed in weird clothes, claiming he is the prince of this kingdom. A kingdom, where dangers lurk at night. The creatures and people and places that you meet are described in enough detail for you to feel that you are there, but not too much so that you feel bogged down with information. Each character has its own personality, which you can relate to and believe in. Isabel's worries and struggles are easy to relate to and would help children to understand why people sometimes do what they do. Beautiful art work from Chris Riddell brings some of these characters to life. The story, quite a simple quest idea, takes the reader on a wonderful journey through many new amazing places. The children meet old friends, from the first book, and new. Scary and kind creatures and humans. Inside this room are three gaps for cog cubes and two switches, one on either side of the middle gap. Pull the switch on the left and the cube cog will open up from the ground. Next, pull the switch on the right to open a few obstacles in the puzzle area. So you can understand why I was overjoyed to discover that this book will in fact be a part of a trilogy! (I absolutely can't wait to be reunited with these characters 😍) The Shadow Moth is about the importance of questioning the stories we’re told (including the stories that we tell ourselves).Sie haben sich auch dementsprechend so benommen mit Streitereien und Angst zu haben. Insgesamt fand ich die Figuren intensiv und auf keinen Fall oberflächlich!
