Haig’s exhilarating story has its fair share of thrills and spills but also plenty of important points to make about the interconnectedness of the natural world, environmental degradation, and humankind’s mistreatment of animals” ( Financial Times) pe lângă teoremă lui Pitagora, "filozoful grec și geniu al matematicii, aflăm că acesta considera că animalele au suflet și care fusese vegetarian înainte să ajungă asta "o modă "...(pătratul ipotenuzei =cu suma pătratelor celorlate laturi) Het gaat allemaal best prima, totdat Eefje in de dierentuin is en met de dieren uit de dierentuin gaat praten. Na die dag zijn alle dieren in de stad in gevaar, maar niet alleen de dieren, ook de vader van Eefje. Eefje weet wie er achter zit en wil deze mysterieuze man ontmoeten. Dit gaat niet zonder slag of stoot. Evie and the Animals, illustrated with humour and dexterity by Emily Gravett, is on the side of kindness and truthfulness . . . Short paragraphs and simple language are charged with warmth and joie de vivre” ( Sunday Times) As well as being a number one bestselling writer for adults, Matt Haig has won the Blue Peter Book Award, the Smarties Book Prize and been nominated three times for the Carnegie Medal for his stories for children and young adults.

Ja ellei tässä olisi vielä tarpeeksi, saa eläinrakas sankarittaremme kuulla vielä melkoisen paljastuksen, joka liittyy hänen kuolleeseen äitiinsä ja menneisyyteensä. Entä miten tähän kaikkeen liittyy maailman pahin mies Mortimer J. Mortimer? Amazing and utterly beautiful, The Midnight Library is everything you'd expect from the genius storyteller who is Matt Haig" Joanna Cannon

Brilliant . . . Will make you laugh out loud, cheer on Evie and her awesome plans, and fall in love with the weird and wonderful animals that she meets” ( Fun Kids)

At the moment, I’m reading Artemis Fowlby Eoin Colfer to my children every evening and they are gripped. It is a smorgasbord of literary treats and adventure. prin a spune că îmi place foarte mult acest autor și cărțile pe care le-am citit până acum de la el, iar aceasta, chiar dacă este destinată copiilor, nu face excepție. ✨ Evie and the Animals written by Matt Haig and illustrated by Emily Gravett, published by Canongate, is out now! Dit boek is echt een aanrader voor dierenvrienden. Het boek is voor 8+, maar dierenvrienden van alle leeftijden zullen smullen van dit verhaal. Eefje sluit vriendschap met veel dieren, maar vindt het lastig om vrienden te worden met mensen. Haar worsteling hiermee komt ook aan bod in het boek. Dit zal herkenbaar zijn voor kinderen, en zij kunnen van dit verhaal dan ook leren. I'm afraid I can't quite understand why "Evie and the Animals" has been so highly praised. Yes, the book is by Matt Haig, and? The basic idea is very nice, simple and not new. 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. What is new is that she seems to be the only one who has this gift. Her father has also strictly forbidden her to do this thing. One soon learns why. An evil man, who also has the gift, but manipulates animals according to his will, is to blame for the death of Evie's mother and wants to destroy all people who also have this gift. So we have a dead mother (and more dead people mentioned in passing), a supervillain, lots of mystery, and a few clichés (the principal for example fulfills all the clichés of a negative school principal). I liked all the animal side characters, as well as Evie's grandmother and her attitudes toward life.This is a timely novel which has themes around helping save the environment and its animals and will surely appeal to all animal lovers. This character led tightly plotted thriller enables the reader to fully engage with the heart-warming story, whilst also embracing your own difference – making for a very satisfactory reading experience in a chapter book. Emily Gravett’s amusingly lifelike illustrations of all the animals add a great deal of pleasure to the reading experience – creating a book you won’t want to put down until you know the end! A book to stimulate thoughts about the environment and self-worth wrapped up in an excellent story for young readers. Wow, was für eine tolle Idee und eine mega schöne Umsetzung, die mit wirklich tollen Illustrationen unterstützt wird.
