About this deal

Autorka przy pomocy kościanego kluczyka otwiera przed nami wrota zawiłości fabuły, otoczonej tajemnicą i przepełnionej klimatem baśni jakie znamy z dzieciństwa. Poznasz zawód, jaki wykonuje mama oraz będziesz pokonywał różne dziwnie idealnie sprecyzowane, wyżłobione w kości klucze do znalezienia odpowiedzi. Książki Kiran Millwood Hargrave charakteryzują się tym, że są lekkie, przyjemne i można je czytać niezależnie od wieku, ale także przemycają wiele istotnych tematów i skłaniają do refleksji. Sofia’s mother is an ossuarist: a bone binder, making charms and sacred boxes to house them from bone and gold.

A darkly beautiful historical novel featuring Kiran’s trademark magical realism and an enthralling mystery, and the fourth children’s novel by Times number one bestselling author Kiran Millwood Hargrave, winner of the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. Przez tą historię po prostu płynęłam i z każdym rozdziałem byłam coraz bardziej zaintrygowana losami bohaterki. Not only the most sought-after bone crafter in Italy, Sofia thinks that her mother’s gift for binding magic to her bone creations might make her the best in the world. It sounds magical and full of respect when given you have bones as the source it would easily fall under garish. Ripping propulsive plot, gorgeous imagery, floating fairytale prose, the gradual unlocking of a mystery as delicate and meticulous as a vertebrae padlock.

Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s dark and delightful new fantasy story for 9-12 year olds is full of beautiful detail and perfect for children with a taste for the gothic.

Then everything goes awry: she is arrested and the children are taken to the local convent orphanage. She is also an ossuarist (someone who makes things with bone), and her particular brand of this bone craft involves invoking something of the spirit of the person whose bone she crafts, so it can bring comfort to those left behind. Kiran Millwood Hargrave takes us on an adventure through historic Siena alongside siblings Sofia and Ermin, who only wish to be reunited with their mother after the city guards stole her away.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Jeśli Ty, lub jakiś młodszy czytelnik z twojego otoczenia uwielbiacie łamigłówki, sekretne przejścia, domowe wrony i najgorszych złoczyńców, to myślę że spokojnie możesz postawić na tę pozycję. The story is engaging and it’s easy to read through this book in one sitting without realising the time passed.
