Product Information

Instead, she defies presumptions about her gender and delves into the darkest parts of the island, moving toward danger, rather than away from it.

Młodszy czytelnik odnajdzie tutaj cząstki siebie – młodych, pełnych nadziei i wiary siebie bohaterów, którzy z brawurą i buntem w sercu znanymi tylko młodości potrafią spełnić swoje marzenia, potrafią prześcignąć mit. She is such a strong and fierce character and I’m sure that she will be an inspiration to many young girls. who is also ridiculously courageous and awkward and a sweet cinnamon roll like I just wanna protect her with all my soul? W tej opowieści najważniejsza jest jednak bohaterka, odważna, dzielna Isa, która gotowa jest na wszystko, by uratować wyspę, ocalić swoich najbliższych. Il linguaggio è semplice ma non per questo banale ed elementare, anche se è un romanzo fantasy la vicenda sembra quasi realistica, fatta ad eccezione per alcuni casi.I'd definitely recommend this for both children and adults looking for a quick but lovely fantasy/adventure middle grade read. I found this book to be kind of average - it was fantastical and beautiful in places and a little more brutal than I was expecting.

It is an overwhelming and impossible task, yet they face it nobly and with an unshakeable strength of character, despite profound personal sacrifice. So it seems cruel that someone so drawn to exploration is bound to the village alone under the ominous gaze of the governor. Soon, following her heart, her map and an ancient myth, Isabella discovers that the true end to her journey is to save the island itself. Isabella’s quality of character is further enhanced by her friendship with the Governor’s daughter, Lupe.

She describes things perfectly, as one might expect from a poet, without overdoing the language, giving the reader just enough detail to share her vision. Here is a quick description and cover image of book The Girl of Ink and Stars written by Kiran Millwood Hargrave which was published in 2016-5-5. At the heart of the adventure is the wonderful and authentic friendship between her and her missing friend, Lupe. I find this blend of talent with restraint rare these days when so much in books and films is overdone so that absolutely nothing is left to the audience's imagination.

Not that I don't like funny books, in their place, but I find it tiresome when books for kids (or adults) deliver lines as if we were reading a script for an American sit-com. I think it's an especially good read for the age group at which it is aimed (middle readers), and I know that I would have adored it back then. I also just need to take a moment to acknowledge that as well as an incredibly gorgeous cover the inside pages of this book are also all beautifully decorated with small illustrations and maps for each part of the book. To end off, The Girl of Ink and Stars was a story of magic, myths, and monsters; a story of courage, kindness, heartbreak, and most of all - hope. This is definitely a book that younger readers will be captivated by but there is plenty to like about this magical tale for people of all ages.On the opposite wall hung the sketchy coast of Amrica and its dragging ocean currents, labelled with strange, wondrous names [. Já prostě miluju Middle-grade dobrodružství, tady navíc byl místní folklór, mytologie, trochu nedpřirozeno, ty španělská jména, ostrov, z velké části neprobádaný. I dialoghi sono ben costruiti e per nulla monotoni, visto che sono una parte fondamentale della storia.

Their first real disagreement occurs on the cusp of peculiar events disrupting the lives of everyone on Joya, and Lupe goes missing before they can make amends.I think because this book is so short I didn't feel connected to the characters which really effected my reading experience.
