Ich kann leider nicht ganz nachvollziehen, warum „Evie und die Macht der Tiere“ derart hochgelobt wurde. So we have a dead mother (and more dead people mentioned in passing), a supervillain, lots of mystery, and a few clichés (the principal for example fulfills all the clichés of a negative school principal). Matt Haig (van 'Een jongen met de naam Kerstmis') zet samen met illustrator Emily Gravett een meisje neer dat zichzelf leert zijn en de wereld een beetje beter maakt met haar talent.

It really gives you all the warm and fuzzy feelings when reading and have I mentioned the amazing illustrations?

The message is simple and clear for all audiences but the writing is pretty basic, more so than in his other children's books. So, from today, every day I will be sharing a book review with all of you, of the books I had the privilege to read.

Its about kindness to all species on earth, about the connection we all have and as a plus the animals are still animals and not humans in animal form.Den dritten Stern gibt es, da es am Ende doch recht spannend wurde und ein paar gute Ideen im Buch stecken. The really skilfully drawn character is Evie herself though – one of the very clever things that Matt Haig achieves with this book is to make it sound like an 11 year old girl. The third star is given because it was quite exciting at the end and there are some good ideas in the book. It is also a real page-turner, Matt Haig has a superpower of his own for writing cliff-hangers to end a chapter with.

Olen itse lukenut häneltä ainoastaan Radleyn perhe - vampyyriromaanin, joten oli ihan mielenkiintoista tarttua hänen uusimpaan lastenkirjaansa "Eevin eläinmaailma" (Aula, 2021). I mean, what's not to love about a telepathic connection to animals and a centuries-old hidden talent?

Na die dag zijn alle dieren in de stad in gevaar, maar niet alleen de dieren, ook de vader van Eefje. I really wish we could all look at all animals and humans the way she does: she loves all animals no matter how different or deadly they are.
