About this deal

Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s dark and delightful new fantasy story for 9-12 year olds is full of beautiful detail and perfect for children with a taste for the gothic.

Autorka przy pomocy kościanego kluczyka otwiera przed nami wrota zawiłości fabuły, otoczonej tajemnicą i przepełnionej klimatem baśni jakie znamy z dzieciństwa. Award-winning author Kiran Millwood Hargrave has woven a spellbinding historical story – beautifully written, atmospheric and full of mystery. Every chapter is just gripping and you just get lost in a world of curious and magic, with a bit of truth mixed in. Sofia’s mother is an ossuarist: a bone binder, making charms and sacred boxes to house them from bone and gold.A moon-white skull still warm from last night’s fire was cupped over her feet, for here the nights were clear and cool. Klimat średniowiecznych Włoch jest odczuwalny już od pierwszych stron, a bohaterowie walczą o sprawiedliwość i dobro. Sofia’s mother is rumoured to have a gift for healing, which puts her in something of a dangerous position as their story progresses. Jeśli Ty, lub jakiś młodszy czytelnik z twojego otoczenia uwielbiacie łamigłówki, sekretne przejścia, domowe wrony i najgorszych złoczyńców, to myślę że spokojnie możesz postawić na tę pozycję. Mamy tutaj chciwość ludzką, która chce zaspokoić własne pragnienia niezależnie od kosztu, mamy temat ospy prawdziwej i epidemii, a także wiele innych mniej lub bardziej istotnych.

Pełna nieoczekiwanych zwrotów akcji, a urok odkrywania magicznych sekretów, naprawdę mnie oczarował. My only wish was that I'd been able to learn more about the captivating world and characters that Hargrave has created!If you think pet crows, bone houses, underground tunnels, scary orphanages, clever children, brave girls and beautiful writing sound like a good time (and honestly, how could they not? The worldbuilding and characters are vivid, and I never struggle to feel like I’m walking alongside the characters.

Momentami przeżyjecie niezły rollercoaster emocjonalny i taki, że będziesz chciał/ła krzyczeć „Nie idź tam” „Zostaw to” itp. Kobieta rzeźbi w kościach, co brzmi dość masakrycznie, ale w rzeczywistości jest sztuką jak każda inna. Not only the most sought-after bone crafter in Italy, Sofia thinks that her mother’s gift for binding magic to her bone creations might make her the best in the world.I loved seeing her taking the high road when presented with a difficult choice, and the choices she makes. Sofia and Ermin are great protagonists to follow too and it's apparent the lengths they would go to for each other. This reminded me so much of reading The House with Chicken Legs, with the story focusing on bone builders.
