Buk

by Robin Bennett, Kathi Achenbach (Translator)

Nancys Mutter bekommt ein Baby und es macht sie krank; Nancys Vater ist wütend auf ihre Mutter, weil sie sich das Baby nicht leisten können; und Nancy ist wütend auf einfach alle. Dann fängt sie an Dinge zu sehen … Dinge, die eigentlich nur in Märchen passieren sollten. Ist Buk ein Zeichen, dass sie verrückt wird, oder ist er da, um sie zu retten?

80 pages, Kindle Edition

Reviews

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

A truly delightful book that will enthrall listeners. Is Buk Nancy's way of escaping the problems in her family, or is she really, like Alice, discovering a Wonderland? Imogen Stubbs is pitch perfect as narrator. Thoroughly recommended.
