Es ist ein Nachtfalter, der Imogen die Tür im Baum zeigt. Und obwohl sie eigentlich alleine ein Abenteuer erleben will, ist sie am Ende doch froh, dass ihre kleine Schwester Marie ihr hinterher schleicht. Denn im Land hinter der Tür gibt es Monster mit scharfen Klauen und Zähnen, einen sterbenden Wald, eine Stadt, die von einem selbstbezogenen König regiert wird, der eine noch schlimmere Königin heiraten will, und einen eingebildeten kleinen Prinzen, der trotz allen Zankens ein guter Freund werden könnte. Imogen is devastated when she finds out that her sister is kidnapped and she and Miro chase after them, in hot pursuit and makes new friends on the way.

Ja, wie soll ich anfangen. Mich hat das Buch sehr überrascht! Warum? Naja das Buch wird ab 10 Jahren empfohlen, leider muss ich dazu sagen das ich es persönlich ziemlich brutal finde und das das ganze Buch durch. Die körperliche und Seelischen Qualen die in der Geschichte vorkommen. Ich finds nicht angebracht. Ab 13/14 je nach Kind ist es Ok. Aber für Kinder ab 10 Jahren.. Sorry no! Oggi sono qui per parlarvi di un'altra bellissima opera che Harper Collins ha portato nelle nostre librerie. Garl, remembering the prophecy given to him by the Oracle of Tides, will ask for a Flask of Borrowed Time. This will allow him to continue – but only for a limited period of time. With all the magic of Narnia and the humour of Mary Poppins, this is a future middle grade fantasy classic - and the beginning of an unforgettable journey...

A Counter-Clockwise Star Clock

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. Cael will show up and reveal that he’s got the crystal all ready to go but we need to charge it up first. Resh’an is going to sit this one out, given it’s a fight against a Dweller, so it’s up to the four of you to try and defeat this menacing foe. Dopo l'ennesima lite, la madre le divide e Imogen decide di mandare tutto all'aria per partire da sola alla ricerca di un'avventura che non sia giudicata da nessuno.

They are taken in by the lonely future king, twelve year old Prince Miro, whose uncle King Drakomor rules in his place. Ho adorato dalla prima all'ultima pagina questo bel libro scritto da Francesca Gibbons, con le illustrazioni del bravissimo Chris Riddell. Followed by Marie, Imogen finds herself falling into a magical kingdom where the two sisters are swept up in a thrilling race against time - helped by the spoiled prince of the kingdom, a dancing bear, a very grumpy hunter... and even the stars above them. About This Edition ISBN: I have been enjoying children’s fiction recently and this book was definitely an easy read and a fun one. It’s illustrated by Chris Riddell for starters and his work is always wonderfully fun and creative and brings the characters and plot to life. This book had some great characters and panels for illustrations, and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing his interpretations.

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.
