Product Information

Despite hardships, they have an idyllic family life until one day when their father entrusts them with The Book of Stolen Dreams. You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods.

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.

However on the evening of April 8th, her eleventh birthday, it seems the celebration is even more special. Anthony HorowitzWhen Rachel and Robert are passed a stolen book by their librarian father, they have to go on the run and protect it at all costs. Some children may skim over the deeper messages of this book, but they provide crucial opportunities for discussions, both at home and in the classroom.

Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first. La historia es alucinante y te digo yo que todo lo que contiene la trama con muertes, torturas y movidas políticas no puede ser un libro para niños. I think getting completely swept up in Rachel throughout the story and discovering what happened to her brother instead of knowing what is going on before her would have jammed up the suspense and engagement. It will take every skill they possess and then the moral compass instilled in them each by their parents. This wasn’t a long book but, it delivered on all fronts and I’m looking forward to the next one in this series when it comes out.It’s a fantastic independent book seller that will actually be responsive and select appropriate books for you. This is a time of dark secrets, where family are suspicious of each other and where things are about to get worse. It’s only a short time later, that Felix is arrested and the children are left in sole charge of the book, their home and family destroyed. Seeing characters killed off and tortured added to the stakes of this adventure story, I just found the middle quite slow.

What they are not expecting is to discover a family of ghosts, a door to the dead and that the Book grants the power of immortality. A great debut for David Farr and I'm hopping my next door neighbour's granddaughter, who is 10, will love this adventure just as much as I did.They would also only drop off a case of books and leave us to run it – it was so lovely to have you on hand to chat to the children and recommend them books, as well as the small (but appreciated! Lo que más me ha gustado son sus aventuras tipo que flipo con que una niña de 12 años viaje sola a otro país que está en otro continente solo porque le han dado una notita. The writing has a lyrical quality to it which adds to the fantastical nature of the world and makes some very simple statements beautifully poignant. A heart-stopping adventure of the kind that should appeal to fans of Eva Ibbotson and Philip Pullman. Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example.

And then those characters that brought others back and now someone else wants to live forever and oh no that can't happen. This is a dystopian world of airships, dingy back alley streets and magical books that could bring back the dead, ruled by an oppressive Government with a hatred of children. When the children discover the astonishing, magical truth about the Book, they resolve to do everything in their power to stop it falling into his hands. With a big heart and courage to match, she has a strong sense of justice and the importance to fight for what is right, even when the cost may seem to be too great to bear.

And then, of course, there is the aspect of a library and a book, and if you're a bookworm, which I believe most of you reading this are, how could you not be interested in a bookish, magical, adventure. 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.
