Acá me faltaron ambos componentes, la narración estuvo bien. No destaca ni para bien ni para mal, se queda dentro de un rango normal, pero no tenía ese "algo" que me enamora en estos libros. Y, al mismo tiempo, la historia nunca tuvo dejó el tono infantil y ofreció un poco más. El único momento en el que vislumbré algo más, algo que podía ser un poco o más oscuro o adulto fue con la historia del carnaval, pero ahí quedó. A high-speed, witty, absurd and joyful adventure.

Milou, Fenna, Lotta, Egg y Sem son los mayores del Orfanato Tulipán, llevan 12 años ahí y nadie nunca los ha adoptado porque no son como los demás niños. Cada uno tiene una peculiaridad y así es como se quieren entre ellos, pero cuando un hombre misterioso quiere llevárselos Milou hará lo que sea para demostrarles a sus amigos que no es lo que aparenta. This modern fairy-tale with a brilliantly inspiring young heroine is one of Roald Dahl's best loved stories. Our director of public affairs, Alison Woodhead, gives her take on The Unadoptables, a new children’s book which has come in for criticism in the adoption community.

The amazing humour and world-building of NEVERMOOR meets the wisdom and warmth of ROOFTOPPERS in this most un-ordinary adventure about five amazing children . . . THE UNADOPTABLES by Hana Tooke. Five babies are abandoned and taken into an orphanage in 19 th century Amsterdam. The eldest , Milou , i s convinced her puppet-making parents didn’t want to leave her . The book describes the adventures of the five ‘unadoptable’ children as they escape the orphanage and search the city for Milou’s birth family. The amazing humour and world-building of Nevermoor meets the wisdom and warmth of Rooftoppers in this completely unforgettable and totally gorgeous comedy-adventure! If you want to read more whimsical spookiness, I’d highly recommend The Bone Garden by Heather Kassner which is about a girl who is made of dust, bone and imagination. It’s not too scary, but it is dark, whimsical, gothic, and full of heart. Unfolding with the clarity of a fairy tale, this sure-footed debut casts a delightfully spooky spell - Kirkus

A book to absolutely fall in love with." Cerrie Burnell, author of T he Girl with the Shark's TeethI wasn’t the most prolific reader as a child, but I did love spooky stories, especially the Goosebumps series by R.L. Stine. I think that very much shows in my writing now. I love the thrill of being slightly scared. As a young adult, I read a lot of Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman and really fell in love with stories that are set in worlds that are like our own, but not. Primero y principal, este libro es apuntado a un público infanto-juvenil, por lo que no se esperen encontrar con una confección compleja de la trama. De todos modos esto no quita lo hermoso y auténtico de la historia. El abordaje de temas en tanto a la familia y la construcción de la misma me pareció muy bien hecho. Te dan ganas de abrazar a los personajes, llorar y reír con ellos. With a little bit of spookiness and a whole lot of quirkiness, this book will capture your heart! - Tegan Tigani, Queen Anne Book Company Adoption UK does not endorse the views expressed by users, for example in the 'survival strategies' or on the message boards.

Throughout the book the adopters that approach the orphanage are depicted as vile and evil people. Again, sending the wrong message to children in and outside of the system… Our main protagonist, Rotman, wants the children as slaves. But even before we meet him, the first adopters we come across, Mr and Mrs Fortuyn, are vilified by Milou – a girl so desperate to find her real family that she rejects any adoption attempt and actively ruins them for her friends. (Milou exclaims that Mr and Mrs Fortuyn must be grave-robbers or something else even more evil). Furthermore, the entire adoption process is shown as transactional – as if the children can be bought and returned without any second thought. Mrs Fortuyn even goes as far as to say that shopping for children is ‘even better than buying a new handbag.’ I ended up reading the book in less than two weeks as I was so captivated by what was written and struggled to put it down.’

But Milou and her gang can’t wait any longer – there’s a decidedly dastardly looking man who’s arrived to adopt them, and it doesn’t look like he’s the type to want to welcome the orphans into a loving family home. If Milou wants to find her real parents, they’re going to have to run away – and Milou’s going to have to come face to face with her own destiny a lot sooner than she thought… Welcome to Cast of Thousands! Where did the idea for The Unadoptables come from, and when did you start writing it? The vile matron calls the children 'the unadoptables' but this talented gang of best friends know that their individuality is what makes them so special - and so determined to stay together. The idea for Milou’s story popped into my head one wintery morning. Throughout 2017 I’d been struggling through a first draft of a different book, but I think the idea for a gothic story set in Holland had been percolating in my subconscious for a while. Puppets, a windmill – those were vague ideas I had floating around, but I’d been ignoring them to focus on this other story. And then I woke up one morning with the entire plot and cast so vividly in my mind, it felt like the five of them had just crash-landed into my brain, waving their arms, demanding I pay them immediate attention. So, I did. In January 2018 I poured out a very rough first draft of The Unadoptables and was a little bit stunned at how easily it had come.
