I was really happy to turn the final page and discover that there is a sequel planned however, with a brand new mystery to resolve. Hating children, he banned them from all fun child-centred activities, transforming these areas into. All books have a certain magic, but the Book of Stolen Dreams is like no other - this book has the power to grant eternal life. A magical tribute to the wonder of books and reading, the debut children’s novel from playwright David Farr traces two children’s thrilling quest to find the missing page of an invaluable book and stop a calculating villain from claiming untrammelled power. Talvez as crianças interpretem a mensagem do livro de uma forma mais ligeira, sem se focar propriamente nestes temas que são mais pesados, mas sim na coragem dos irmãos e na magia que existe neste mundo.

She worked through these latter feelings and became the perfect eyes in which to view this world through. We are introduced to our protagonists, Robert and Rachel Klein, when they accompany their father to the lending library where he works. Super eingesprochenes Hörbuch, mit sehr bewegender Story, die definitiv zum Nachdenken anregt und stark an das NS-Regime anlehnt. Talvez 10+ pudesse ser uma idade recomendada para a maturidade da história, que apesar de acabar bem, como era de esperar, está repleta de crime, violência, vilões, tortura, luto, entre outras temáticas mais pesadas.

Rachel is such an inspiring plucky character and I loved learning more about her (I read book two first - the Secret of the Blood Red Key). It’s a fantastic independent book seller that will actually be responsive and select appropriate books for you. Allein schon die Namen wirken wie aus dieser Zeit gefallen und ich hatte durchgehend ein beklemmendes Gefühl, während ich die Protagonisten begleitet habe. Auch tauchten plötzlich Figuren auf, die meiner Meinung nach unlogisch gehandelt haben oder ich habe ihre Gründe nicht verstanden, und die waren dann auch genauso schnell wieder verschwunden. There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors.

An exhilarating, awe-inspiring debut from a master storyteller writing for children for the first time, perfect for fans of Philip Pullman, Katherine Rundell and Eva Ibbotson. It will take every skill they possess and then the moral compass instilled in them each by their parents. Readers will enjoy being swept away amid the intrigue and wonder of the Book as the magical object at the centre of the story, the page-turning action of the children's adventure and the impending sense of peril that is never far away. Some of our joint story sessions involve dull children’s stories, however with this one we were both hooked! After all, since President Charles Malstain came to power, all public places have been demolished or closed and books burned or destroyed.

But they will do anything to stop it falling into Malstain's hands - for if it does, he could rule for ever. And when you actually finish the book, you get this sense of accomplishment and happiness that you were able to put these things together and come to a conclusion. They are pitched into a battle they might not win…but their determination to do the right thing and their bravery makes for a gripping story. I don't think love is even a good word for it, I felt like it has gained a special, permanent spot in my heart.
