Sjećam se ovog naslova za lektiru i jako sam uživao u čitanju, iako mi se jezik činio malo oštrim za niži razred osnovne škole. Dodatno su pripomogle i slike pokraj tekstova, kako bi bolje predočile radnju koja se dešava, a od glavnog negativca sam se užasavao kada sam ga vidio. Priča je podijeljena na dva (tri, ako se doda radnja koja utječe na glavni tijek priče) dijela: jedan služi za upoznavanje glavnih i sporednih pozitivnih likova, dok je drugi priprema za glavni obračun i kulminaciju. Jedino loše, ako se to može tako nazvati, jest neprekidno ponavljanje riječi došljaka tijekom razgovora (iza čega postoji razlog i služi svrsi u radnji) i dodatna priča tijekom romana jer se doima kao da je preuzeta iz druge knjige, ali to je, vjerojatno, i bila autorova ideja da prikaže više različitih strana (lokalno stanovništvo, agresor i održavatelji reda i čistoće), kako ne bi ispala monotona crno-bijela priča. Ideja o očuvanju planeta je jednostavna i zanimljiva za mlade čitatelje i služi kao podsjetnik i starijima kako treba voditi veću brigu o onome što imamo, kako za sadašnjost, tako i za buduće generacije. Preporuka za duge ljetne dane.
I remember this title as a part of school curriculum and I've enjoyed a lot in reading it, though I felt the language was too rude for the lower classes of elementary. The additional help came from the pictures alongside the text, for the better presentation of the plot, and I was frightened at the site of the main antagonist. The story itself is divided into two parts (three, if we add additional plot that affects the main part): one serves as the introduction of the main and supporting good cast, while the other is a preparation for the main confrontation and it's aftermath. The only bad part, if it can be mentioned, is non ending repeating of the comer's words (behind that is a reason and it serves it's purpose in the plot) and the additional, third story of the novel looks like it's taken from another book, but, I presume, that was author's intention to show more of different sides (the local populace, the aggressor and the maintainers of the order and cleanness), so it wouldn't be monotonous black and white story. The idea of preserving a planet is simple and interesting for young readers and serves as a remainder to the older ones to pay more attention towards what we have, as much as for present, as well as for the future generations. A recommendation for long Summer days.

Something like Croatian version of Spielberg's ET, just this one is called Eko Eko from the planet Bon-Bon. His talk mechanism is broken so he repeats every word two times. And our little friend has a problem with a nation called Zmazi ('zmazan' means dirty in Croatian), so our little human friends who he met in front of the cave where boys and girls went to find mushrooms, and who decided to help him with his problem. They went to his planet Bon, and solved all the problems in seven days with a soap, shampoo, detergent, perfumes and flowers.
Style of this book is very humoristic and close to children. You can see that at the beginning of the each chapter, Hitrec explains: ''This story is very strange and scary. If you are scared as well, don't read it. When I first heard about it, my hair was standing straight like wheat in the July, and my heart was hammering like an African tam-tam.''
Yes, great book with fantastic ecological message. :)
