Charlie Changes Into a Chicken

Product Information

Sam Copelandin esikoiskirja Sami muuttuu kanaksi asettuu kuivanhumoristisen ja nonsensella ilottelevan brittiläisen lastenkirjallisuuden perinteeseen heti Andy Stantonin ja David Walliamsin väliin: Walliamsin tavoin mukana on myös vakavampia teemoja, mutta usein pitkälle polveilevat metavitsit lähestyvät Herra Gummi -kirjoja. I don't know how the author did it, but he's managed to get deep under the skin of a young boy — and the result is just so wonderfully endearing. Over the course of the book, Charlie aims to overcome his difficulties and worries before the school play to avoid any major embarrassments.

Comedy is hard to do right, but Copeland's enviable timing and knack for properly laugh-out-loud jokes set this apart.

She’s easily the bravest of the four friends and has all sorts of crazy ideas for standing up to bullies.

Despite trying to see the bright side of life, he can’t help worrying and things are not about to get an easier! Päähenkilö Sami muuttuilee satunnaisesti eläimiksi (ei kuitenkaan kertaakaan kanaksi, niin kuin otsikossa sanotaan; tämäkin on yksi kirjan kieroutuneista metavitseistä).
