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 My daughter wanted me to write a book for animals. Also, it came from being inspired by all the young climate change activists. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be able to talk to animals? . . . Haig has written this entertaining story, which goes perfectly with drawings from brilliant illustrator Emily Gravett” ( The Week Junior) Emily Gravett’s amusingly lifelike illustrations of all the animals add a great deal of pleasure to the reading experience – creating a book you won’t want to put down until you know the end!

Evie and the Animals, illustrated with humour and dexterity by Emily Gravett, is on the side of kindness and truthfulness . . . Short paragraphs and simple language are charged with warmth and joie de vivre” ( Sunday Times) 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" Eefje en de dieren is een heel mooi verhaal. Een van de boodschappen van het verhaal is dat je jezelf moet durven te zijn en dat is in sommige situaties nog best lastig. Eefje heeft een gave, een talent. En dit talent deelt ze met haar oma. Oma kan ook met dieren praten, maar veel beter dan Eefje. Oma leert Eefje hoe ze om kan gaan met haar gave, maar dat mag eigenlijk niet van haar vader… 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.

Evie was a girl who loved animals. She didn’t just know facts about them. She also had a very special skill. A very unusual skill…” Evie adores animals! Everyone thinks she is a bit strange, what they do not know is that she has the powers to read the minds of animals. One night, Evie has a dream, she tells a snake not to eat a poison dart frog because it will die, and that is where we meet Mortimer J Mortimer. He has the same magical powers as Evie, but uses them in his attempt to conquer the world. I would definitely recommend this book to any ages. The Primary School Library Alliance is calling on the government to match-fund the private investment it has brought into helping primary schools c... Matt Haig (van 'Een jongen met de naam Kerstmis') zet samen met illustrator Emily Gravett een meisje neer dat zichzelf leert zijn en de wereld een beetje beter maakt met haar talent. En dat is volgens haar grootmoeder niet met dieren praten, maar aardig zijn: 'Aardig zijn werkt als een boemerang. Je werpt hem weg en daarna krijg je hem terug.' Brilliant . . . Will make you laugh out loud, cheer on Evie and her awesome plans, and fall in love with the weird and wonderful animals that she meets” ( Fun Kids)

Het gaat allemaal best prima, totdat Eefje in de dierentuin is en met de dieren uit de dierentuin gaat praten. Na die dag zijn alle dieren in de stad in gevaar, maar niet alleen de dieren, ook de vader van Eefje. Eefje weet wie er achter zit en wil deze mysterieuze man ontmoeten. Dit gaat niet zonder slag of stoot. The winners of the Diverse Book Awards 2023 have been announced, with one winner from each of the four categories announced: Picture book, Children...A dog called Scruff. He was fun. He was scruffy and totally at ease with himself. But there is also a bearded dragon called Plato who I would like to meet. One aspect I enjoyed less is that there’s a bit of Evie being not like the other girls – she isn’t into trivial stuff like makeup, her appearance, social media etc unlike her frenemy Leonora. I am a bit torn about this generally -- there's a lot of stuff about mean 12 year old girls who love the internet as being vapid mean girls both in this and in middle grades fiction generally, and people can like makeup and still be kind empathetic people! Girls can be socially adept with a lot of friends without being necessarily horrible. You don't see much of this sort of bullying coming from boys of that age in fiction. I mean, don't get me wrong, you see it heaps in real life, sure! But not so much in fiction. Having said all that, on the other hand, it seems quite believable that Evie would have a bit of trouble fitting in -- her interests are quite niche, and in the same grade 6 or year 7 cohort you can get range of behaviour, from kids who act like children to kids who act like teenagers. So maybe it's just realistic? I don't know, I guess not that much of the book covers this particular theme, so it doesn't necessarily matter.

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. Die Geschichte rund um Evie ist so schön, für junge Menschen gut und auch echt spannend gemacht. Ich habe aber auch als Erwachsener das Buch kaum aus der Hand legen können weil es mich schon sehr interessiert hat wie es weitergeht mit Evie und den Tieren. Aber auch die Geschichte um ihren Vater, ihre Großmutter und ihre Mutter war sehr durchdacht und passte zum Gesamtbild. Evie and the Animals written by Matt Haig and illustrated by Emily Gravett, published by Canongate, is out now! oamenii sunt cele mai periculoase dintre animale. Fără îndoială. Se omoară între ei și au sters de pe fața pământului milioane de alte animale. Conform celor de la National Geographhyc, viteza de dispariție a speciilor este de o mie de ori mai mare din cauza oamenilor. Două sute de specii de plante si de animale ajung in prag de dispariție în fiecare zi. "Was für ein auffälliges und farbenfrohen Cover welches durch seine detaillierte Zeichnung besticht. Der Schreibstil ist echt angenehm zu lesen und für Kinder gut geeignet aber nicht zu einfach gehalten.
