The Creakers

Product Information

I have to say that I am kind of agreeing with The Creakers. Yes, they did things the wrong way and they were creepy/scary, but they had their reasons. If only that had found another way to communicate and let the humans know about that. Make a timetable showing the activities that you would try if you woke up and there were no grown-ups for a day. Use this to make up some word problems to challenge others. I could probably talk a bit longer about the book, but I think I mentioned all the important bits! I would recommend this book to all looking for a fun monster and garbage-filled book!

Now it's not very nice to use little girls as live bait to catch monsters, but, if you do ever have to, then it's always best to use an annoying little sprog like Ella, just in case they do actually end up getting snatched. Write some dialogue between two Creakers. What might they say to each other? What unusual words and phrases do they use? Can you proofread the Creaker’s letter to the children? What mistakes did they make? Could you write a new letter from the Creakers? Het verhaal wordt goed opgebouwd en het lukt Lucy niet in een keer om de volwassenen te vinden en terug te halen. Dat vind ik zeer sterk aan dit boek. Vaak krijgen hoofdpersonen van kinderboeken het snel voor elkaar, maar Lucy moet echt moeite doen. s Nachts ziet Lucy 4 paar ogen in haar kamer. Dit zijn de Knerpers! Ze zijn een beetje raar, maar ook wel weer heel leuk! Ontdek het zelf in dit prachtige verhaal.De illustraties van Shane Devries zijn ook geweldig en een echte toevoeging aan het boek. De hele Redno wereld is ook prachtig bedacht! Ook een dikke shoutout naar de vertaler Lidwien Biekmann. De namen van de karakters zijn geweldig en alles is zo goed vertaald naar het Nederlands. Je hebt helemaal niet door dat het oorspronkelijk een Engels verhaal is. Het meest heb ik gelachen om de naam Irry Tandstra, kom er zelf maar achter of ze ook irritant is 😉 If you enjoyed this resource, we think you'll also love our 'The Creakers' Sleepover Activity Kit here! What is ‘The Creakers’ about?

Het verhaal zelf is er eentje met een missie. Ik denk dat veel kinderen er zich zullen in herkennen en dat ze eigenlijk wel allemaal een Lucy willen zijn. Ze zullen het net zoals Irry, Klaartje, Toby, ….het eerst superleuk vinden om niet op de vingers getikt te worden door een volwassene, niet naar school hoeven te gaan, doen waar ze zin in hebben, maar uiteindelijk toch door hebben dat ze niet zonder hun ouders kunnen. Just like The Christmasaurus, this novel is a fun and entertaining children's novel that is sure to make many kids all over the world peek under their beds in search for the Creakers themselves. Lucy reminds me a lot of myself when I was that age, although I do believe she's a tad bit braver than me, and the side characters that also show up are equally entertaining. I did laugh out loud when two kids named Buzz and Buddy had taken their dad's car out for a drive (if you didn't know, Buzz and Buddy are Tom Fletcher's kids... and now you know what he suspects they would do if him and his wife ever disappeared) - and you'll also, briefly, meet the kids from The Christmasaurus, so the stories seem to be set in the same universe. Sort of. But Lucy wonders why. And how. And when. Soon, she discovers that there are creatures appearing in her room at night - and wonders if they are perhaps responsible for taking the grown-ups. These creatures? They are the Creakers.

Woleb, or should we just call it Below, was a fun and interesting place. Sure, also disgusting as hell, but eh. :P I liked the way it worked, how it hid stuff and randomly made new place and hallways. I wasn't surprised at where the adults resided that is a pretty fitting place, plus that way they won't be able to resist much. Sure, I wasn't happy with the mom. Really, you believe your hubby would just get up and leave? Without taking anything with him? Leaving his food/drink on the table? I would definitely have a bit more trust in my hubby if he would suddenly disappear without a hint.
