About this deal

Ich kann leider nicht ganz nachvollziehen, warum „Evie und die Macht der Tiere“ derart hochgelobt wurde. Ja, das Buch ist von Matt Haig, und? Die Grundidee ist sehr nett, einfach und nicht neu. Evie kann mit Tieren sprechen bzw. kann sie deren Gedanken hören und sie dann ebenfalls in Gedanken ansprechen, was zumindest den Peinlichkeitsfaktor ein wenig reduziert. Was neu ist, ist dass sie die einzige zu sein scheint, die diese Gabe hat. Ihr Vater hat ihr zudem strengstens verboten, die Gabe auszuleben. Man erfährt auch recht bald warum. Ein böser Mann, der die Gabe auch hat, damit Tiere jedoch nach seinem Willen manipuliert, ist Schuld am Tod von Evies Mutter und will alle Menschen, die diese Gabe ebenfalls haben, vernichten. Wir haben also eine tote Mutter (und weitere Tote, die am Rande erwähnt werden), einen Superbösewicht, viele Geheimnisse und ein paar Klischees (die Direktorin erfüllt etwa alle Klischee einer negativen Schuldirektorin). Die tierischen Nebenfiguren gefielen mit alle, wie auch Evies Großmutter und deren Einstellungen zum Leben. On the face of it, Evie and the Animals appears to be just a fantastical tale of a girl who has the ability to communicate with animals, but there are so many layers waiting to be discovered. I'm afraid I can't quite understand why "Evie and the Animals" has been so highly praised. Yes, the book is by Matt Haig, and? The basic idea is very nice, simple and not new. Evie can talk to animals, or rather she can hear their thoughts and then talk to them in her mind as well, which at least reduces the awkwardness factor a bit. What is new is that she seems to be the only one who has this gift. Her father has also strictly forbidden her to do this thing. One soon learns why. An evil man, who also has the gift, but manipulates animals according to his will, is to blame for the death of Evie's mother and wants to destroy all people who also have this gift. So we have a dead mother (and more dead people mentioned in passing), a supervillain, lots of mystery, and a few clichés (the principal for example fulfills all the clichés of a negative school principal). I liked all the animal side characters, as well as Evie's grandmother and her attitudes toward life.

Such a talent cannot be kept under wraps for long however, and Evie embarks on a series of dramatic adventures to save the planet and avenge her mother’s death. Amazing and utterly beautiful, The Midnight Library is everything you'd expect from the genius storyteller who is Matt Haig" Joanna Cannon The plot is super, allowing children to travel the world from the safety of their own homes whilst learning about other countries, ecology and geography. The magical element of Evie being able to communicate with animals makes Evie in the Jungle appeal to children’s imaginations too and they’ll love the rudeness of Neruda. I think there are all kinds of opportunity to use Evie in the Jungle for learning as well as enjoyment. I am ashamed that I hadn’t heard of Professor Abigail Garcia and so I learnt from the story too. Maar Eefje droomt steeds vaker over een oerwoud, een slang en een dreigende manspersoon én ontdekt dat haar grootmoeder eveneens Het Talent heeft. En dan beginnen er dieren te verdwijnen - van drie naamloze fretten tot vuilnisbakkie Pavarotti en hamster Snoesje. En uiteindelijk de hele dierentuin. Eefje móet iets doen... This is a delightful pacy read, led by Evie with her super-talent of being able to hear and talk to animals. When Evie has released the school rabbit and caused a deal of trouble, she promises her father she will ignore her talent – which she does for a whole year. But then animals start to disappear, all sorts of animals, can Evie help to find them and solve their mysterious disappearances?Povestea este captivantă, cu o mulțime de informații interesante despre animale de care cei mici se vor bucura cu siguranță, iar ilustrațiile completează perfect totul!

En niet omdat haar moeder niet meer leeft of ze gewoon steil haar heeft en niet de hipste kleren. Eefje is anders omdat ze van gedachten kan wisselen met dieren - iets dat haar vader haar ten strengste heeft verboden te doen.

Dit boek is echt een aanrader voor dierenvrienden. Het boek is voor 8+, maar dierenvrienden van alle leeftijden zullen smullen van dit verhaal. Eefje sluit vriendschap met veel dieren, maar vindt het lastig om vrienden te worden met mensen. Haar worsteling hiermee komt ook aan bod in het boek. Dit zal herkenbaar zijn voor kinderen, en zij kunnen van dit verhaal dan ook leren. Evie hat ein Talent. Ein Supertalent. Sie kann hören, was Elefanten denken, und mit einem Spatzen plaudern. Doch als sie das Schulkaninchen Kahlo aus dem viel zu kleinen Käfig rettet und dabei erwischt wird, muss Evie ihrem Vater schwören, nie wieder mit Tieren zu reden. Er hat Angst, dass sie deshalb in ernsthafte Schwierigkeiten gerät. Das funktioniert so lange gut, bis alles durch eine riskante Begegnung mit einem Löwen aus dem Ruder läuft. Plötzlich ist nicht nur Evies Familie, sondern die ganze Stadt in großer Gefahr. Ein mysteriöser Mann treibt sein Unwesen, der selbst eine außergewöhnliche Gabe besitzt. Die Zeit drängt, und nur mit tierischer Hilfe hat Evie eine Chance, das drohende Unheil zu verhindern.

Genre

A beguiling read, filled with warmth and humour, and a vibrant celebration of the power of books to change lives." prin a spune că îmi place foarte mult acest autor și cărțile pe care le-am citit până acum de la el, iar aceasta, chiar dacă este destinată copiilor, nu face excepție. ✨ What a wonderful children’s story. Perfect for reading independently or through a shared session, Evie in the Jungle has such humanity and warmth that I absolutely loved it. The illustrations by Emily Gavett are glorious and bring the text alive so that even more reluctant readers have a means to hook their reading. Haig is one of the most inspirational popular writers on mental health of our age and, in his latest novel, he has taken a clever, engaging concept and created a heart-warming story that offers wisdom in the same deceptively simple way as Mitch Albom's best tales"

Evie’s “very own secret superpower” is that she can telepathically talk to animals, she can hear what they are thinking and, sometimes, she can talk to them. Change the plan you will roll onto at any time during your trial by visiting the “Settings & Account” section. What happens at the end of my trial?Kirja kertoo Eevi-nimisesta yksitoistavuotiaasta tytöstä, joka rakastaa eläimiä yli kaiken ja jolla on myös erityislaatuinen kyky kommunikoida telepaattisesti niiden kanssa. Mutta onko kyseessä lahja vai kirous? Salaisuutena asia on joka tapauksessa syytä pitää, eikä siitä saa vahingossakaan kertoa kenellekään perhepiirin ulkopuolella. Niin ajattelee ainakin isä, jonka mielestä asia voi johtaa hankaliin ja pahoihin tilanteisiin. Eevin äiti on puolestaan kuollut myrkkyhämähäkin puremaan tytön ollessa aivan pieni.
