Un'estate perfetta... o quasi

by Kirsten Boie, Verena Körting (Illustrator), Sara Congregati (Translator)

Una nuova ed emozionante storia su amicizia e solidarietà. E un appello a essere più consapevoli e rispettosi della natura. La dodicenne Marta e i suoi fratelli minori, Matts e Mikkel, sono costretti a trascorrere le vacanze in campagna dalla nonna, che non conoscono nemmeno e che vive sola in una casetta isolata ai margini del mondo, vende marmellate fatte in casa, non ha un telefono e, ovviamente, neanche Internet. È una nonna un po’ eccentrica, con tante galline, un motoscafo e… un fucile per scacciare gli ospiti indesiderati!

About the author

Kirsten Boie was born in Hamburg in 1950. She studied German and English literature and wrote a doctoral thesis on a topic in the field of literary research. She worked as a secondary school teacher in Hamburg from 1978 until 1983. When she adopted a child she had to stop teaching and began to write. Her first book "Paule ist ein Glücksgriff" (1985) was very well received and won several awards.

Since then she has published more than 60 books for children and teens that have been translated into many languages. Special mention must be made of her novels for young adults that critically examine social issues and display literary innovation. In addition to the many awards she has won, her complete works have been nominated for the Hans Christian Andersen Award three times (in 1999, 2001 and 2003).
Kirsten Boie lives with her family near Hamburg.

Reviews

[Sam Franceschi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Una storia semplice ma be scritta di vecchi rancori che il destino rimette in discussione facendo sì che ci sia un lieto finale.

[Valentina · Rating 3 out of 5]

La storia è bella ma i personaggi sono tremendamente fastidiosi
