Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Fantastic adventure for youngsters (and adults). Steve doesn't have it easy, and since his mum disappeared, his life seems to fall to pieces. When his Aunt Shannon, a strange woman experimenting with alchemy, vanishes as well, he has little choice but to overcome his fears and dive into alchemy himself and go on a rescue mission. Telling more would spoiling, but i can recommend this book to any open-minded reader of about 14y and older. Thank you for a most enjoyable LBT Early Reviewers read!

When Steve Best was 12, his mom disappeared--literally vanishing from her armchair in the sitting room. A terror-stricken scream for help, a blinding flash of light, and she was gone. Only a puddle of coffee and a stained notebook remained. Now, on the second Christmas since her disappearance, Steve's life is a disaster. He's failing at school. His dad alternately mopes, yells, and apologizes. Even Steve's attempt to save a duck from the school bullies has led to the nickname he's dying to forget. To make matters even worse, his dad is forced to travel over the holidays to keep his job, leaving Steve to stay with his dotty great aunt Shannon and her bookish, withdrawn husband. Shannon insists that Steve bring along his mother's coffee-stained, crinkled notebook, insisting it will help them find his mother. Steve learns from Shannon that he comes from a family of alchemists, that alchemy is about far more than changing lead into gold, and that his mother may have been researching ways to use alchemy to transport people to different places and times. Skeptical and very reluctant at first, Steve is finally seduced by Shannon's teachings. He masters a transformation that shows him the power of alchemy to transport people between dimensions. He might even be able to use this power to save his mom-but only if thugs or the police don't stop him first. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
