Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

From Maggie O'Farrell, the best-selling and award-winning author of Hamnet - now a Bafta and Golden Globe-winning film starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal - comes a stunningly illustrated picture book about a boy who overcomes the unhappiness of moving house and, through the power of storytelling, regains his inner spark.- An ideal gift and a truly enchanting read.- Perfect for children aged 5-8 with themes of family bonds, dyslexia, moving house, myth and folklore.When Jem and his family move to the countryside, he doesn't like his new home one bit. It's an old cottage on the side of a hill, where strange things keep happening: shoes are filled up with conkers, the stairs become tangled in a woollen maze. Jem's sister Verity is certain it is the work of a "nouka", an ancient creature from local folklore that lives deep down inside the hill. Jem, however, is adamant that there is no such thing.But this small mythical creature, so attuned to the hearts and minds of others, does exist. And, what's more, it is determined, through mischief and mayhem, to help Jem reignite the spark within himself once more.- WINNER of the KPMG Children's Books Ireland Honour Award for Fiction- Longlisted for the Carnegie Medal for Illustration- Best Children's and YA Books of 2022, Guardian- RTE.ie Best Irish Children's Books of 2022The second book in a trilogy of modern fairy tales by Maggie O'Farrell and Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini featuring children with real life problems and the mythical creatures that attend to them.
