About this deal

Man sollte meinen, dass solch ein riesiges Haus eine Menge Personal benötigt, um es in Schuss zu halten. Thoroughly enjoyed this cozy, spooky read which has all the classical elements you want in a children's book.

Was hat es mit dem geheimnisvollen Spielzeug auf sich und wo ist die Familie hin, die Stella eigentlich hier hätte erwarten sollen? We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Denn Captain Arthur Jones und Lady Mair haben sogar noch einen Sohn, Tommo, mit dem Stella ihre Zeit verbringen wollte.There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors. Doch die einzigen Menschen, die hier leben, sind Denzil, das Faktotum im Haus, Gwyn der Gärtnerjunge, die Haushälterin Mrs. Als ich das erste Mal über „Stella und der Mondscheinvogel“ stolperte, wusste ich sofort: Das Buch muss ich lesen! A relatively quick middle grade book about fairies (or the others) who stole/tricked a little boy, a cursed/magical clockwork crow toy, and an orphan girl.

The housekeeper eventually tells Seren that “Tomos went out of the house for a walk after breakfast one morning, and he never came back…. The most exciting thing about her new life is the mechanical crow a mysterious man left with her at the train station.In meinen Augen hat die britische Autorin Catherine Fisher mit „Stella und der Mondscheinvogel“ ein bezauberndes Wintermärchen aufs Papier gebracht, in welchem sie uns Leser*innen in eine fantasievolle Welt voller frostiger Winterkälte, Mysterien und Magie mitnimmt. Ich habe es vollkommen stimmig für die Handlung empfunden, dass wir über sie nicht allzu viel erfahren.

Children of ten and older will find themselves pleasurably lost in this enchanting, candlelit delight. Auf der Zugfahrt träumt das Mädchen von ihrem neuen Leben, in einem behüteten Zuhause mit einer liebevollen Familie. Young orphan Seren (it’s Welsh for star) is travelling alone through a winter’s night to her godfather and his family. I didn’t really like the ending, and felt it was somehow too easy to get Tomos, after all she’s been through. Short but perfectly formed, this is a magical and atmospheric pair of books, with elements of classic children’s stories, traditional oral tale telling, and a dose of humour too.Various little things just annoyed me (at one point she guesses someone was once a schoolteacher, and they were, and there's pretty much zero clues having pointed to that), and while I liked the snowglobe idea re weather, I doubt I'll be remembering this one in a year's time. The Clockwork Crow clocks in at a mere 179 pages, but each and every page is chock-full of mystery and adventure.
