Oppslukt

Krypto #6

by Hans Jørgen Sandnes

Den sjette boka i den populære og spennende Krypto-serien! Fiskerne i Saltvik mener at Lille-Krako er farlig, og vil bli kvitt ham. Men Ophelia tror ikke på at det er Lille-Krako som ødelegger båtene i havna. Det må være noe annet i vannet, et større monster. Ophelia går under havoverflaten, der hun ser hauger av søppel og oljesøl! Kan Ophelia overbevise folk i Saltvik om at monstrene ikke er farlige, men sultne? Men først må hun komme seg helskinnet tilbake til Saltvik. For undervannsturen er farligere enn noen gang. Og sjømonsteret Ophelia må hanskes med, har hun nærere bånd til enn hun tror.

Reviews

[Dragan Nanic]

In the review of one of the previous books in the series I said I liked it that it does not have explicit political agenda. Well, this book proved me wrong.

From the prologue, in which we see fishermen dumping garbage in the sea, only for their boat to be attacked moments afterwards, it is clear what is going to be the theme here. Don't get me wrong, it is a great theme to tackle, only once again I have the issue with the execution. It is so obvious and banal, with the happy, feel good ending, that I can only think it was aimed at the young kids... Furthermore, there seems to be a significant passage of time, it is summer now, but it could be more than a year, even though everyone looks the same, the fishermen know about the monsters!? and the reporter from the end of the previous book does not appear... Once more there is a little bit more information about Orelia's father but it is more of a teaser than anything real. Unless we (and Orelia) were supposed to believe that her father didn't know about the real monsters....

With all that being said, the message to protect and care about the sea (and environment) is important, so enough to like the book (but no more than that).

Een nieuw avontuur in de graphic novelserie Krypto! Deze boeken zijn fantastisch vormgegeven, met een stevige kaft en de illustraties volledig in kleur. Gecombineerd met een avontuurlijk verhaal zijn dit boeken die je in 1 ruk uit wil lezen. In dit zesde deel ga je opnieuw op avontuur met Orelia, waarin ze de onschuld van Krako moet bewijzen. De boten in de haven worden kapot gemaakt en de vissers zijn ervan overtuigd dat dit de schuld is van het 'zeemonster' van Orelia. Zij weet echter wel beter en gaat op onderzoek uit. Ze zal ook wel moeten, want Krako loopt gevaar. De vissers willen hem wegjagen en Dalis is van plan hem weg te brengen naar een veilige plek. Zal het Orelia lukken om de onschuld van Krako te bewijzen?

Dette er 6. bog i serien og jeg synes efterhånden historien mangler at komme ud af starthullerne og tage fart. Den kører rundt i det samme.

Elsker den her serie!

[Bibliotekarien läser]

Helt klart en av de bästa SERIE-serierna just nu!

This is an incredibly adorable and beautiful series.
I love the art and even though the messaging is very heavy-handed, I don't mind at all.
