Zak

Rate this book
At the end of an amazing summer holiday, Zak, age 11, decides to write his life story, because he wants people to understand his unusual experiences. He describes looking out from inside his mother's tummy, being born flying, learning to talk with animals, his inner 'not nowhere' world, and the adventurous and mysterious summer he spends on River Island. There, he encounters the wondrous 'zing' that develops where nature is undisturbed by humans, and meets Leah, age 8, who to his surprise also talks with the animals, and becomes his best friend. Loved by boys and girls, 7 to 12 years old, "ZAK" is a book which parents and teachers are delighted to discover. It addresses the roots of present day dilemmas - how to preserve our climate and planet, and how human beings can create peace.

Did not finish. The narrative voice irritated me and seemed smug, for some reason. And the story has the usual human-bashing nonsense.

Doğayla iç içe, hem macera hem de fantastik unsurlar taşıyan bir kitap. Çocuklara bu dünyada yalnız olmadığımızı, sadece bizim olmadığını anlatıyor. 7 yaşındaki oğlumla bir solukta okuduk.

Kitaba 2 vermemi sağlayan tek olumlu nokta: çocukların yaptığı ve yetişkinlerce yanlış bulunan ya da anlaşılamayan bazı davranışlara farklı bir bakış açısı getirmesi. Onun haricinde okuduğum çeviri çok kötüydü ve imla hatalarıyla doluydu. Belki daha başarılı bir yayınevinden çıksaydı daha fazla sevebilirdim.
