The House at the Edge of Magic
- Brand: Unbranded
Description
We follow Nine, and orphaned thiefling who finds herself inside a magical house, inhabited by Dr Spoon the alchemist, Eric the troll housekeeper, and Flabberghast, High Wizard, Chair of the Tea Tasters Committee, World Hopscotch Champion 1835. Nine gave a yelp as it whizzed up and down, here and there, faster than Nine could watch it: knocking Flabberghast’s hat into the cauldron; shooting over to the dresser and smashing plates and cups; twisting and whooshing around Eric’s tail; sending the bucket and its orange, slimy contents all over Flabberghast; upturning the table; darting – whooshing – whizzing – smashing – whirling – left – right – up – down – Until it came to a stop. Then it hurtled towards the hexagonal clock mounted by the doorway and, with another strange WHOOMPH, it shot inside the clock and disappeared. I am definitely looking forward to jumping back into this world and having another adventure with Nine, Flaberghast, Eric, and even Spoon. Die Ideen waren alle samt toll und kreativ, die Umsetzung hätte ich mir insgesamt etwas zugänglicher gewünscht.
Ich freue mich schon darauf, meiner Tochter diese Bücher eines Tages vorzulesen – oder noch einmal zusammen mit ihr zu lesen! BOOK OF THE MONTH - the much awaited latest installment in this popular diary-style series for ages 7+. I also kind of have to admit that even though the witch was the antagonist of this story, I really liked her. But on hearing the wizard’s voice, the red streak seemed to look in his direction, then shot down the hallway.The wooden door slammed shut behind him then instantly melted into nothing, leaving a doorway-shaped, star-speckled blackness in its place.
Well, there's still a bit of question about that, since Flaberghast isn't the most forthcoming person. When she steals a house-shaped ornament from a mysterious woman's purse, she knocks on its tiny door and watches it grow into a huge, higgledy-piggeldy house.Which is very much not a good thing when you're travelling the world between worlds after three stationary years. And she glared at the absurd, squashed-up building with its annoying turreted towers either side of the utterly stupid front door, its slightly wonky chimneypot, its pathetic windows that weren’t even on the inside because they were that pathetic. It is beautifully written and would appeal to anybody who loves magical themes and stories about witchcraft and wizardry. They had changed – they were sparkling with hundreds of silvery flecks, as if tiny shards of diamonds were embedded inside.
Generell kann man sagen das das Buch mit sehr viel Detailliebe verfasst worden ist, so wächst einem der Troll Erik mit seiner helfenden Art ans Herz, man möchte Blödchen (Brötchen mit besonderen Fähigkeiten) essen oder auch einfach nur das Haus mit dem Schluckauf beobachten. For that moment something deep and wise and beautifully ancient shone through the boy’s eyes – a thousand adventures, a thousand secrets, a thousand years… Then the silvery sparks faded away and the wizard’s eyes became blue once more.Indeed, on the day we meet Nine, she not only struggles to steal something from her mark not only once but twice, but she is chased, and almost caught, both times. But I am not an unreasonable creature,” Flabberghast continued, followed by a snort and the raise of an eyebrow. Als jedoch das Haus einen Schluckauf bekommt und jedesmal ein Magieschwall durch das Haus rast, müssen die Bewohner schleunigst handeln. She edged towards the floating red ball, slowly stretching out her hand and, with the very tip of her finger, she went to touch it.
Nachdem Eidi und der andere Zauberer in Hüpfkästchen Zehn verschwunden sind, machen sich Neun und Co. Your selection was perfect for our children and what really made the difference was your ability to engage with each child, discuss their interests and help them to choose a suitable book based on your extensive knowledge of the books you were selling.
Sondern es steckt noch einiges mehr drin: es wird magisch, spannend, teilweise auch rasant, tiefgründig. She dropped his head back down then, throwing herself in the chair opposite him, she folded her arms and glared. Yes, it took a while to get there - until almost the very end - but I did get there, mostly because of the way the book ended. Schon nach dem Ende des ersten Bandes war für mich klar, dass ich den zweiten Band auch unbedingt lesen möchte.
