Ulysses Moore #7
La Ciudad Escondida
Ana Bloom tiene 12 años y vive en una antigua casa en el centro de Venecia. Un día, mientras busca a su gato Mioli, que ha desaparecido misteriosamente, encuentra un cuaderno escrito en una caligrafía incomprensible. Mientras lo hojea, Anita experimenta una sensación extraña, como si alguien le estuviera observando desde el otro lado de las páginas del libro... Pocos días después, gracias a la ayuda de un amigo, la chica descubre que, en realidad, el libro es una guía para llegar a una misteriosa ciudad, la Ciudad Escondida, y que todas las referencias que se mencionan tienen que ver con el mítico Ulysses Moore. Por ello, Ana decide viajar al Reino Unido para encontrarse con Julia, Jason y Rick…

Two years have passed since events described in "The First Key", the sixth book of Ulysses Moore series and now Julia, Jason and Rick with Anita, a girl that appears out of thin air in Kilmore Cove with misterious book written by Morice Moreau, are facing a new adventure of finding a Country that Dies as well as a new enemy, in the form of dangerous critics that call themselves Arsonist, who destroy everything that seems improper and have anything to do with fantasy and imagination.
I love Ulysses Moore books and even though they were written for kids and teenagers, I've read them in a one go. Once you start reading it, you must finish it, because there's so much going on, there's so many mysteries... And when you finish one book, you immediately want to start reading the next one. But the funny thing is... I didn't buy the first book because of the contents but because of the cover. And that is another thing I love about those books - they are so beautifully publish that you want to stroke them and look at them endlessly.
Though it's the first book on new adventures, I think this part of series will be even better than the first one. The villain is much more frightening than Oblivia Newton, maybe because it's an organisation, an association of sorts and way more unscrupulous than Oblivia.
I'm really thrilled about those new events and I think I'll devour the rest of books in just few days.

Baca buku ini awalnya nggak terasa seperti membaca serial Ulysses Moore karena penulisannya yang tidak seperti buku UM yang biasanya. Awalnya langsung bertanya-tanya, ke mana nih si Mia Maharani? (Yang ngikutin UM dari awal, pasti tahu siapa dia.) Ternyata eh ternyata, setelah membaca bukunya, pantas aja dia nggak ada.
Tapi yah, seperti layaknya buku Ulysses Moore, buku ini masih sekurang-ajar buku-buku sebelumnya... dengan plot twist yang bikin kesal. Tetap saja, buku 6 masih menjadi buku yang paling kurang ajar.
Banyak tokoh baru di sini. Mungkin bisa dibilang buku ini adalah fase dua dari keseluruhan seri UM, yang saya pun tak tahu ada berapa jilid totalnya. Rasanya agak kurang greget. Namun, lumayan lah. Serunya masih dapet.

Este 7o livro é uma espécie de início da segunda temporada da coleção.
Os mistérios continuam, mais pistas aparecem para ser desvendadas, novos inimigos e o início de uma nova aventura!
Espero pelo 8o livro para saber como tudo se desenrola! ;)

Boek zeven alweer in de Ulysses Moore serie. Een van mijn favoriete jeugdklassiekers waarvan ik nu aanbeland ben bij de boeken die ik als kind niet gelezen heb.
In boek zeven gaat het er echter iets anders aan toe. De vertrouwelijke personages verdwijnen naar de achtergrond en maken plaats voor Anita. Evenals een heel fijn personage dat perfect binnen deze wereld past. Ze ontdekt allerlei zaken op de werkplek van haar moeder. Daardoor wordt ze naar de tweeling en hun vriend geleid.
Wat mij vooral tegenviel, was dat het boek niet mooi aansloot op het zesde deel. Het lijkt net alsof je meerdere boeken gemist hebt en helemaal verdwaald bent tussen twee werelden/boekenreeksen. Het brengt een storend element met zich mee, dat pas gaat rusten als Anita eenmaal in Villa Argo aankomt.
Vooral de elementen in de werkplaats van haar moeder kwamen rommelig en onduidelijk over. Volgens mij is het informatie voor verdere boeken, want op zich hadden veel zaken geen relevantie in het verloop van het boek. Er waren zoveel nieuwe details en elementen die eigenlijk geen aanleiding kende, noch een vervolg.
Ik kreeg ook het idee dat er een soort tijdssprong tussen deel zes en deel zeven zat. De kinderen zijn plots ouder en Anita had het eerste boek van Ulysses Moore gelezen. Heel apart ook hoe de boekenreeks in de boeken verwerkt wordt. Die overlapping was zeer verwarren en voor kinderen moet dit toch een heleboel vragen opleveren.
An sich was het wel weer een spannend boek en ben ik ook benieuwd naar wat er nog zal komen. Het is gewoon heel willekeurig in de reeks toegevoegd waardoor het een beetje 'huh'-gevoelens oplevert.

Otra libro de Ulysses Moore muy bueno. Pero, como ya he hablado muy bien de esta saga durante varios libros, voy a ponerle una pega a este. No me malinterpretéis, es un libro genial, pero no ocurre nada tan relevante como en los otros. Es decir, este libro me ha parecido más bien un poco más introductorio para el siguiente, puesto que tampoco es que haya aquí un gran viaje ni un grandísimo descubrimiento. Simplemente presentan a una nueva protagonista, Anna Bloom, y algunos descubrimientos que, aunque fuesen interesantes, me han sabido a poco comparado con los otros libros de la saga. Sin embargo, la he disfrutado igual y leído también muy rápido.

- Un viaggiatore Immaginario cosa deve possedere?
- Non lo so. Una valigia?
Il vecchio giardiniere ridacchiò. - No. Deve possedere immaginazione. E cos'è l'immaginazione?
- Fantasia?
- No di nuovo. Immaginazione è "immagine in azione". Per poter partire, un viaggiatore immaginario deve mettere in moto qualcosa che si trova... dentro di sé. Lui conosce il posto in cui vuole arrivare ancora prima di fare il primo passo. Ce l'ha dentro la testa. Lo vede, lo immagina. Sa che c'è. Ne è convinto. E a questo punto... se si decide a partire e ha quello che gli serve... alla fine lo raggiunge.
Leggere questo libro è stato come entrare in un luogo già conosciuto dove però si aprono nuove porte; è stato come vivere le avventure da un nuovo punto di vista esterno, come se stessimo leggendo la nostra storia nella storia.
Ulysses Moore deve essere un grande amante di Venezia, riesce a descriverla in modo impeccabile, lasciando trasparire quel lato magico e misterioso.
Io posso dirlo perché abitandoci vicino, ogni volta che ho la possibilità di andarla a vedere cerco sempre di guardarla con gli occhi da turista, con la spensieratezza di un bambino che vede la magia ovunque; in ogni libro che Baccalario ha anche solo sfiorato è riuscito a trasmettere poesia.
I nuovi personaggi introdotti sono interessanti e portano con se altri misteri: Maurice Moreau, gli Incendiari e la Città che muore.
Quelli che avevamo lasciato li ritroviamo un po' più grandi, pronti all'azione quando sentono suonare il campanello di un nuovo mistero da scoprire ma sempre loro. Era come tornare a scuola dopo le feste estive.
E' uno di quei libri che ti fa sentire le farfalle nello stomaco, la voglia di partire e avere amici con cui condividere avventure.
E quando mi trovo con un pessimo umore e zero idee da scrivere, prendo in mano un libro di Ulysses Moore e mi torna la voglia di scrivere la mia avventura.
Non mi stancherò mai di dire che parla di amicizia, quella vera piena di complicità e sostegno. Mi ricorda quando ero piccola e ingenua, ma pronta all'avventura. Quando non c'erano cellulari che rovinavano i rapporti umani ma, se si litigava, lo si faceva guardandosi negli occhi senza paura di esprimere la propria opinione.
Ecco, quando sento la mancanza degli amici veri, di quei tempi andati, prendo in mano un libro di Ulysses Moore e mi lascio andare all'avventura insieme a Rick, Jason, Julia, Anita e Tommy. Questo accade senza malinconia ma con l'enorme necessità di entrare in un nuovo mondo per rigenerarmi.
Non posso fare altro che ringraziarlo di nuovo per quello che mi regala ogni volta... Grazie Ulysses Moore! Alla prossima avventura! Rebecca

Un libro corto y entretenido, aunque considero que está dirigido a un público menor, de unos 12/14 años. De todos modos, el disfrute no es poco.
Con este libro he tenido dos conflictos principales. El primero de ellos es que no ha pasado casi nada relevante. Sí, los protagonistas han descubierto muchos misterios y ha sido muy interesante. Sin embargo, lo que es el gran misterio y por el que investigan todo el libro no llega a descubrirse, y eso me ha dado algo de rabia. El libro tiene 288 páginas, podría haberse alargado perfectamente otras 100 o 200 sin necesidad de escribir otro libro más.
Mi otro conflicto es las faltas de ortografía. De nuevo encuentro varias en un libro de Montena. En este son menos graves, pero faltan sobre todo las comas del vocativo, cosa que puede parecer una tontería pero no lo es.
Dejo aquí un ejemplo de lo que puedes encontrar en el libro:
«¡Hola Julia!»
Cuando debería ser:
«¡Hola, Julia!»
Para mí este es uno de los fallos más importantes a la hora de corregir un manuscrito, ya que marca la diferencia entre una escritura cuidada y una que no. Este libro lo tengo ya de hace muchos años y no sé si lo habrán corregido, pero ojalá sí.
Dicho esto, recomiendo este libro y mucho. Es cierto que es el séptimo de una gran saga y yo solo me he leído este, pero no he tenido ningún problema. No te haces spoiler de libros anteriores, al menos no con este. Lectura recomendada para, como ya he dicho, jóvenes que empiecen en el mundo de la lectura.
[Edit: Acabo de ver cuántos libros son y hay un total de 18, sin estar los últimos traducidos al español. No sé apenas italiano (la lengua en la que están escritos originalmente), así que dudo que los lea en un futuro cercano. Si acaso algunos, porque son demasiados.]

Tak terasa saya baca Ulysses Moore buku ke-6 bulan April 2021 lalu. Lanjut baca buku ke-7 nya baru di Desember 2022. Waktu itu saya menunda baca buku ke-7 karena saya rasa petualangan Covenant bersaudara dan Rick sudah cukup sampai di buku ke-6.
Di buku ke-6 rasa-rasanya semua misteri sudah terkuak dan endingnya juga gantungnya pas. Pas dulu langsung lanjut mau baca buku ke-7 rasanya jungkir balik. Ketegangannya jauh menurun dan cerita dibuka dengan tokoh baru.
Jadi ya, cerita dimulai jauh dari Kilmore Cove, yaitu di Venesia. Ada seorang anak perempuan bernama Anita Bloom yang tidak sengaja menemukan buku misterius dari sebuah rumah peninggalan seorang pelukis. Buku itulah yang akhirnya menjadi penghubung antara Anita dan tokoh-tokoh kita sebelumnya.
Ada tokoh baru dan juga musuh baru. Somehow saya rasa musuh kali ini tampak lebih horor, tidak seperti Oblivia Newton yang meskipun jahat, tapi setidaknya punya tampilan yang menyenangkan, *eh*.
Seperti buku-buku sebelumnya, bagian endingnya sangat menegangkan dan diakhiri dengan gantung. 4 dari 5 bintang. I really liked it.

[It's actually 2.5- 2.8 not 3]
I really don't know what to say for this book... I'll tried to be objective while rating it and not let my own preferences get in the way of this review.
Personally, seeing those new characters and this new purpose, kinda threw me off. I was so used to the storyline of the first 6, invested, and it was what drew me to read the whole thing. Trying to solve the mystery of the doors, the identity of Ulysses Moore. The 6th book ended in such a way, that I was expecting a sort of continuation, more answers, so when I started reading and for some chapters I was reading the story of a completely new characters, it felt like I started reading a new series, and I didn't read it with the same excitement I read the rest. (But, this could just be me, who doesn't like it when
things get changed)
I like the new villains, however I don't have a full (again, objective)opinion on Anita yet.
I really wanna see where this is going, how it will connect to the rest of the books.
Btw,
I can smell the trouble coming :')

Livro 📚: A cidade escondida ⠀
⠀
Opinião: 5/5 ⭐️ ⠀
⠀
Depois de A Porta do Tempo, Em Busca do Mapa Desaparecido, A Casa dos Espelhos, A Ilha das Máscaras, Os Guardiães de Pedra e A Primeira Chave, chega agora o sétimo volume da colecção "Ulysses Moore". Anita encontra um caderno com desenhos num nicho do sótão da Casa dos Borrões, que a sua mãe está a restaurar. Quando o abre, sente-se invadida por uma estranha sensação, como se alguém estivesse a observá-la a partir das páginas… E não só: o caderno está repleto de notas escritas com símbolos misteriosos, os mesmos usados por Ulysses Moore nos seus diários. Há uma única maneira de descobrir o que significam e qual é a ligação entre o caderno e o autor de Kilmore Cove: encontrar a terra escondida na Cornualha e contar com a ajuda da Julia, do Jason e do Rick...⠀
⠀
As vezes pergunto me a mim mesma porque é que houve uma temporada que eu deixei sendo que tenho livros tão bons em casa para ler! 🤯 Isto foi o que pensei a toda a hora que lia este livro! Simplesmente fantástico! 🤩 Este é o sétimo livro da coleção e embora não conheça a história anterior, esta está fantástica ao ponto de conseguir perceber o contexto da história (o que não acontece em muitas coleções)! Uma história empolgante e que nos agarra de início ao fim! 😍❤️⠀
Agora estou chateada por terminou com a tão conhecida palavra CONTINUA... e eu quero imenso saber o que acontece a seguir! 😩😩⠀
Um livro que recomendo imenso! 🥰⠀
⠀
Alguém já leu?⠀
⠀
PS: se alguém conhecer um sítio onde os possa arranjar esta coleção, quer em físico ou on-line, diga me nos comentários ou mandem me dm! Estou mesmo a dar em doida porque saber o que irá conhecer e é claro que também quero saber os acontecimentos anteriores! 🤩

Review pending
-----------------------------
Ok so, here it comes.
Books 1 to 6 have all sorta travelled in the same direction and book 7 definitly felt like it was a walk on a parellel lane. It did not shift the plot completly but there were definitly huge changes.
For one new main characters and the story is seen in the beggining through their eyes.
As well as new villains, very interesting ones should I say, I mean what’s the whole point of what they do? Who has a job like this? Why so bitter sir, like WHO HURT YOU?
I feel like the series are going in a different direction then one could think in the beggining. There’s magic involved? Like obviously there were already impossible things happening in the first 6 books so it’s not a very big surprise.
(if you’re reading this before reading the book, it’s really just a slight touch of impossible, not exactly houdini type beat happening)
At first I was apprehensive to leave the comfort zone that the first 6 books put you in, bcs there is this change with new characters and the story behind told from they’re pov until they reach the original main characters, but I’ve said this once before, the mind of this author is immaculetly beautiful, everything makes so much sense and he’s able to connect everything so well. I really wanna see what part the arsonist’s play in the other books or if they are just passing by.

7. tom "Ulyssesa Moora" otwiera przed Czytelnikiem zupełnie nowy rozdział historii. Minęły dwa lata od wydarzeń z poprzedniej części. Przy poprzednich recenzjach wspominałam Wam, że w tym uniwersum trójka przyjaciół odnajduje dzienniki Ulyssesa Moora. Autor wpadł na ciekawy pomysł - teraz te niezwykłe zapiski tajemniczego właściciela Willi Argo są wydane jako książki i bohaterowie "Ukrytego Miasta" mogą je czytać! W porównaniu do poprzednich tomów, tutaj akcja toczy się dosyć powoli i bardziej skupia się na poznaniu nowych postaci. Oprócz tych pozytywnych, zetkniemy się tutaj również z podstępnymi członkami Klubu Podpalaczy. Oczywiście jak zawsze zachwyciłam się wydaniem, ponieważ tym razem obwolutą skrywa mapę Kilmore Cove oraz grę planszową nawiązującą do treści książki! Bardzo ciekawy dodatek!

It’s a 3.9
I cant give it 4 because the beginning was SUPER SLOW! The first 2 chapters were not needed. The first was spent looking for a cat, and I barely remember the second.
After that it really improved! I loved how now we kinda have books within a book (if you read it, you know).
I liked the characters alot, the meeting Anita had in Veneza with a certain character was cool to see and I loved following her on her adventure!
I think that the only characters I hated were the boys who were always messing with Jason and Rick. They were ridiculous and unecessary

So far this is my favourite. Now we meet Anita, finally! Alongside Jason and Rick, they are devicing a plam to explores a sad, frozen village stuck in time near the French Alps. It’s a well-paced story, full of quiet and emotional weight balanced with the introduction of new Villains. The best part is how the book describe Venice and the steps Anita took to reach Kilmore Cove, absolute literature!

" ... Era un misto di emozioni contrastanti, compresa la paura. Sentiva che stava per accadere qualcosa di importante. Qualcosa che lei ancora non sapeva. Ma che la casa, invece, sembrava conoscere benissimo. ... "
Settimo libro sempre emozionante con nuovi personaggi e scopi diversi rispetto ai precedenti, scrittura avvincente come le avventure descritte.

Libro molto bello che introduce personaggi nuovi alla saga.
Il ritmo è un po' diverso dai primi sei libri, ma immagino sia così perché fa un po' come volume 'transitivo' per le successive avventure.
Non vedo l'ora di vedere come finisca il tutto!

This book is so hilarious and everything that happened is so uncalled for 😭 i suppose this book serves as a bridge that connects the sixth to the eight book and it’s doing a great job! Not too fond of Anita because shes too…bland? I hope we get more of a background of her in the next book

Serinin şimdiye kadar okuduğum en en en iyi kitabıydı. Çocuk edebiyatını bu kadar sevebileceğimi düşünmüyordum açıkçası... Umarım diğer kitaplar da Saklı Şehir kadar iyidir.

Kind of depressing. Kudos for opening a new avenue and introducing me twists and characters. The Kilmore Cove school is a different subject and kind of doesn't match the reality...

An amazing adventure series I couldn't stop reading! I had to learn to read in Italian in order to finish the series in Italian, because only the first 4 books are translated to English.

Weźcie stąd Anitę. Proszę.
