En este libro conocemos a Aggie Pulga, una niña de 10 años muy curiosa y con mucha imaginación, la cual la suele meter en algún que otro problema y siempre acaba en el despacho del director. Un personaje con el que es muy fácil identificarse y que te arranca más de una carcajada.
La imaginación de Aggie se dispara cuando un nuevo vecino misterioso llega de noche al barrio. Aggie se convence de que es un vampiro, y como en su clase debe escribir sobre un vecino mayor, decide entrevistar a ese posible vampiro.
Es un libro infantil ilustrado, en el cual te sientes dentro de la historia desde las primeras páginas gracias a los dibujos que se encuentran a lo largo de todo el libro.
El lenguaje es sencillo y fácil de seguir, además, como curiosidad, hay palabras importantes resaltadas en todos los capítulos, sumado a la mezcla de texto con cómics, hace que este libro sea ideal para niños que están empezando a leer novelas más largas, ya que es una lectura muy entretenida.
Es una lectura ligera, con mucho humor y muy entretenida para lectores jóvenes. Recomendado para lectores de 6 a 9 años.
Frases favoritas
“Pero los adultos generalmente no les gusta escuchar cosas malas sobre otros adultos a menos que sean ellos quienes digan esas cosas malas”
“Creo que los adultos suelen ser así de raros. Dicen una cosa pero hacen otra”
“Siempre hay una manera de resolver las cosas”
“Una imaginación como la nuestra es un don, pero a veces puede causarnos problemas si no tenemos cuidado”
