Spider An Oral B Toothbrush Battery

Books 2010 - already too many letters



September 73rd The battle of the Dino Knights (Michael Gerard Bauer)


Yet another book in which I get more than I would have expected on the basis of title, blurb and cover.
work in a top-secret research laboratory scientists are working to get a dinosaur for a few seconds in their time, so he can be photographed from all sides and then analyzed. Of course, things go wrong, and instead of being sent back to his own time, land of the dinosaurs during the Middle Ages. There, two boys live with her thrown out of the castle, crazy father, who was once the personal physician of their ruler, in the woods - quite near the place where the dinosaur appears. First warnings are not taken seriously, then some knights worn until the boys decide to go against the monster.

The story takes place in three different times and is told from three different angles. First, we have
as the mad scientist who screwed up the whole thing - it's very obsessive, because when you have ever get the opportunity, a to be compared to living dinosaurs? The scientist is a journalist on hand, holding the experiment for quite mistaken, but finally researched when the dinosaur could probably be landed.
The bulk of the story is disputed by the boys in the Middle Ages. They have almost more trouble with the mischievous bailiff, with the dinosaurs. The course prepares them additional problems. The father is considered crazy anyway, so when he confirmed that a huge monster responsible for the death of a powerful man is not this really helps. Instead, he ends up in prison, and is to be executed the next day for murder. So have the sons of a good reason to seek the dinosaurs - the casually thus makes sure that you now believe in dragons xD
And then there's the view of the dinosaur. Is trying to get just another dinosaur eat when he suddenly landed in a strange environment with strange creatures and is scared the first time entirely - until he finds out that the small, soft things can eat, walk around the DA. True, he feels, but not yet.
This narrative makes the book worth reading, but otherwise it would be much better than one might think should ^ ^

74th Traces - Framed [Traces - Death shooter] (Malcolm Rose)

In German, I had already read the previous year. Then I eventually found on the square of the Amazons very good offers from all six parts in English and slammed. Compared cuts the translation from not bad, so you can read it quietly even in German, when the offering rather - since a miss in any case ^ ^ Again, nothing
to content: Luke Harding finished with sixteen years, his training as a forensic investigator and is the youngest. To recover from the stress of exams is not an option, as found immediately after the last examination a body and the case is turned over to Luke.
his side is Malc, the mobile computer that serves as a laboratory and files and also, of course, Luke must protect, if they put at risk. Luke from provides and that in itself does Malc him so he can meet his girlfriend. In the future, in which the story plays, one can get married, and the like set by the authorities, and a musician fits with rules not just to an investigator. So from the fact that Luke and is unobserved is a small problem. The following is the more deaths, and every victim had a motive and Luke. Since he has no alibi, he must also identify against themselves ... liked xD

even after reading it back to me very well. How does Luke's world is not explained, but might be just, and will be understood by and by reading. Especially fun, of course, were the dialogues between Luke and Malc, the sarcasm and the like only still needs to learn (Mynt would get on well with him, and it is there more advanced)

75th Traces - Lost Bullet [Traces - Ricochet] (Malcolm Rose)

Also read first in German, also liked still.
Luke is summoned to London, a seedy, dangerous place where people can hide well and not recorded. Crimes of the day here, but is shot as a doctor, is the reason enough to employ an investigator.
Luke, a connection between the Doctor and a non-registered white boys make, which was treated by her, after he was also shot at him. Soon everything
indicated that a cult has its finger in the game, because even on a small group of White, who meet regularly, is an attack perpetrated.
This sect is against medical treatment and looks at the white minority as a bunch of sinners, their pale skin color than punishment for their sins. Since the sect is also against the marriage policy of the authorities, it is for Luke may request the people know that he does not lie - - not too difficult to infiltrate, Malc can confirm however, that hatch in the regard is also not exactly thrilled by the authorities. In between times
is reported from the perspective of the bomber, but without that you can stay who he is for now. Of course, it is also dangerous for Luke, and also for the white boy, Owen, whom he persuaded to help him.

76th Puerta Oscura - dead travel (David Lozano Garbala)

Pascal and his best buddy Dominique are invited to a Goth party. Actually, they go out but only because Michelle will also be there, is in love with Pascal. Since he is not faced, Pascal is sent to the attic, where he is from a chest full of clothes was out looking for suitable. But as he rummaged through the things he loses his footing and falls into the chest. In the dark at one time much larger effect, and will not rise anymore. When he examined the walls of the chest, Pascal lands in the realm of the dead, to which the chest is a door that opens only once every 100 years the stroke of midnight on All Saints again to the Hikers pass through. This acts as a kind of wanderer link between the worlds, and Pascal was the right time at right place (or how you look at it also in the wrong place) just too long, it may not reside in the realm of the dead, or he may never again leave.
That the opportunity to go over to the grave, not only brings with it good will, must be in clear as a series of murders Paris in fear and terror. A malicious vampire whose goal is to get rid of the walker and close the door so he can create a world of vampires, it has managed to leave the grave. After
several brutal murders he kidnapped Michelle over the underworld in order to lure Pascal there. In Paris, meanwhile, identified a police officer who would hear nothing of the supernatural, but the medical examiner, who stands at her side there is much more open. Dominique is under the its own investigation along with Daphne fortune teller - the two are soon to be the suspect the police.

a good idea for a book is but unfortunately a lot of potential wasted. The story seems at times tough and bumpy in some places, the author is easily made, but all in all it was but something nice that you can read in between. And hey, the vampire sparkles, but rather is evil, brutal and sadistic. The 600 pages could have been reduced but still prior to publishing yet. Probably would get the book well, and it would please me better (and me, but I do not get enough in many other books can, and prefer to read a few hundred pages longer have)

77th If you die, your life moves past you, they say (Lauren Oliver)

Samantha Kingston is one of the popular student of her school, looks good, has three girlfriends and is also popular with a guy standing on the all. Friday, the twelfth of February was actually a normal day for them. She takes her friends to school, expects a lot of ordinary Valentine's Day roses, skipping the sixth hour, and goes to Kent's evening party.
But upon leaving the party, she died in a car accident.
wakes And on the morning of twelfth day of February again.
going through it again and again that day, and tries to create it somehow, from the time loop break.

Basically this is a Groundhogday history, what would have reason enough to read it. As the narrative is built up but, I was really impressed. On the first day you learn the characters already know so well, that one can conclude by saying "wow, what nasty Tussen" But with each new day finds you a little more about different people, learn other quite new to know, and is informed by flashbacks in the more distant past or more. So that one understands in the end, who was to why he is now.
Speaking of the end: I was reading genuine fear that, until then really wonderfully successful book is spoiled by an inconsistent end, but fortunately was not the case. I am not sure whether is it just because, or the book is really great, but it is for me the absolute top titles that I've made this year.

78th In the Country of Last Things [In the Country of Last Things] (Paul Auster)

a friendly loan from a fellow student who also likes to read Auster like me (the only one I know so far, so I saw him in nÄ next block miss especially will)
In the country of last things written in letter form. Anna Blume wrote to a childhood friend after she landed in a city where everything has collapsed. There is no industry that people collect garbage or search objects can resell them. The city government is unstable and does not do much more than to ensure that enough dead bodies are burned to produce energy.
Anna searches for her brother, a journalist who has been missing in this city. His address is with them, also a photo of Samuel Farr, who's brother had been sent behind after the not has more reported. Since the address of her brother leads her into a devastated street, she proposes for the first time by itself, then living with another woman and her malevolent husband, lands after the death of her roommate on the road unit, then in the library are scholars and clerics still reasonably accommodated reasonable and met Samuel. With him, she spent a happy time, but after she was nearly abducted by a man into a human slaughterhouse Anna ends in a homeless shelter in which they can then work yourself. Samuel, meanwhile, is no longer referred to as the library Shortly after Anna's dilemma was on fire.

An interesting dystopia in a nameless city. Life there seems so sad that it is not surprising that people are only still there because an exit is not easy. That exactly then, ultimately, remains open - in the letter ends with Anna that she considers it appropriate to leave the city, and they would sign up again - I like that.
After all the other Auster novels I've read is that also again a little out of line. In the past was at least not long acted much like here, but almost everything from playing more in thought. Although I also like it was a nice change ^ ^

79th Stories of Bad Dreckskaff: Mr. Urxl and the glitter thing (Philip Ardagh)

Bad Dreckskaff is very different than the name suggests, a clean, nice little town. If I could only be Mr. Urxl would be the dirtiest man alive. He is so dirty that it sometimes even shoots grow from the ears, so the rest of the citizens decide in one meeting, someone had to say Hernn Urxl that he is washed, otherwise it is thrown out of the city .
This thankless task is to Yvonne, hang the urban Enteneinsammlerin, but before anything can be resolved, roll over the events.

So far, I knew of Philip Ardagh only the first three volumes of the Eddie Dickens trilogy (yes, I know, but it now includes six volumes of times xD) which is also translated by Harry Rowohlt. This pleased me in English as in German very well. Stories of Bad Dreckskaff I did find quite nice, but compared to Eddie Dickens loses yet powerful. Ardagh for a book it is rather bad, but still better than much of what is on the market.

80th The Demon's Lexicon [The Circle of demon] (Sarah Rees Brennan)

After I had already read the last year in German, so now again in English. The second part would be read, so I have my memory refreshed again.
It pleased me still necessary and I was very anxious to see if the second volume would make me just as much fun.
Again, the content: The brothers Alan and Nick are together with their crazy mother on the run from mages. Back Arthur, Leader of the circle of Obsidian is apparently behind a valuable amulet ago, is alleged to have stolen his mother.
When Jamie - a classmate of Nick - is drawn by a demon looking for, he and his sister Mae help the brothers, as they have a reputation to gain an understanding of the occult. With joy (Alan) and reluctantly (Nick), the brothers want to say the other brother and sister to the side and go to the fair are the goblins, where demons summons that can be asked among other things, with them a drawing of a demon repealed.

81. The Demon's Covenant (Sarah Rees Brennan)

A successful sequel, which was quite different than I had expected. Unlike in the first part of the story is told here not Nick's perspective, but this time is that of Mae sympathize with which we can and think. In this way they play and her brother Jamie automatically larger roles, what we learn about her family, and of course you can see Nick from a different perspective.
Why did the four ever again meet, after they have separated at the end of part one is a the most important Plotteile. Mae finds out that Gerald - now leader of the Obsidian Coven - trying to persuade Jamie to join them. Even worse Mae finds that Jamie has not even what her about it.
Appeals to Mae Alan and Nick to help bring Jamie to reason, or should at least take care of him. Gerald and thus plays into the hands of the forces behind Nicks ago.

As in the first volume is quite clear in the end, you could see the previously completely different. Alan's a perfect liar, so the story from the perspective of another person is ideal. This worked with Nick, and that works with Mae.
Jamie I like the characters in addition to Nick on loved ones, simply because he is so quiet and peaceful man (okay, I admit, the NEN will get their homo-Bonus)
The thing I like the books very well like: protagonists do not survive in any case.
The end of this volume makes me wait wait to see how it goes (as told and from whose point of view the last part ... is really only Jamie, because if Alan would otherwise simply lost a lot, I think) Cliff Hanger - even if there meaner is - just what nasty person when it has yet to come out.

final tip for all other book addicts: sometimes you can get other people to buy entire series, by giving them recommends the first part. They are a loan from sheer gratitude for the tip like the successor, so that you do not have quite as high expenditure

82nd Traces - Roll Call [Traces - serial murder] (Malcolm Rose)

In the hottest summer, the UK has experienced before, a young woman apparently dies a natural death. Her death struggle lasted long and was obviously painful, but poison is found in their bodies any.
in December found another woman dead, a stab wound in the chest, but no reference to the murder weapon.
A third died in a sauna at an unknown poison.
The connection? All three hot Emily Wonder.
Luke and Malc are assigned to the case and soon come under pressure of time, as a fourth Emily Wonder abducted. A young girl who disappeared in London. Ironically, London, at the moment is not the best place to stay, because a large tsunami is on the way to destroy large parts of the town begins. Apart
fact that the case is interesting again anyway (except the stab wound that was just too obvious what was being used as a weapon), we meet again on Owen Goode, the white boy from the previous book. Under the deal which he has signed with Luke, Owen now leads a small youth center in which outliers play football with him and what not all. Owen is once again asked for help because the authorities put not a lot of importance to people not registered or to evacuate torn children - especially since they do not even know who is there so everything rumirrt. So Owen is to drum up all he can find and bring to safety. Luke, meanwhile, makes the search for the little Emily Wonder, and soon far too little time. But he will not give up yet.
good that he does not die, you can imagine so, as the series goes on still, but exciting it was still
interesting info from behind the scenes stories are in fact not written (from which I conclude simply that film / TV or Theater non-existent in the world) can be found on the Internet since even a few ... I think they are called myths, but the is rather the exception. Apparently there are mainly for entertainment music.

83rd Traces - Double Check [Traces - offender profile] (Malcolm Rose)

Luke gets the order to take care of a case of possible corruption in a Paarungskommittee. Here he is known to have something against pairing Committee, he tries to figure out if there really someone playing false, and helped a couple has to meet formally, or whether the authorities simply want to test him only.
was the way it still will agree that he case of a boy sentenced to death should check again. In fact, in Luke's world insisted that the investigators make no mistake, but he manages to convince the authorities to make him leave. If the offender is Everton Koht, a friend Owen Goodes, who doubts that Everton is capable of a murder. Although everything is against Everton - he was taken up with blood and full of further traces of the victim just a few meters away from it, and of course, immediately arrested. He says being able to remember anything, so he no longer even properly by his Innocence is convincing.
again entertaining, exciting and interesting information about Luke's world. Every citizen will be monitored at any time, investigators have access to each apartment, and may at any time require fingerprints or other samples, each citizen has an identification card, can be continuously observed by which, when He has stayed out in the rich North and there are so-called Smart Toilets that every time someone goes to the bathroom to examine whether there is evidence of a disease - in which case the person would be immediately sent to the doctor be.

84th Traces - Final Lap [Traces - Sabotage] (Malcolm Rose)

for the International Youth Games (a sort of Olympics) is close to London specially built a new stadium. But a striking number is the wrong building and then disappears without a trace also the organizer so that hatch sent there to determine who is behind the sabotage. That's even more, he can not prevent. Thus, two construction workers fall to their deaths and a swimmer who was allowed to test the pool, is a chemical that has been filled in the basin, severely injured.
Lukes Friend Jade is here again to make one of the party because she was chosen to be the music for the games. But instead to concentrate on, they will be drawn more deeply into the case than she is. When Luke disappears, she manages to persuade Malc, that he has with her a better chance to rediscover him.
also exciting and a great end - as with the Top Secret series of Muchamore, like me here is that the characters just are not invulnerable, just because they are well educated and young.

85th Traces - Blood Brother [Traces - Traces of blood] (Malcolm Rose)

Luke is recovering in hospital from the injuries he has suffered in the last case. In addition, he has always strange headaches, but which he only too happy to push aside as he is reassigned immediately after his release to be determined in the very hospital where he was treated.
The death rate is that is above average, and calculated Luke's real father is one of the main suspects. This must be said that parents get their children after their fifth birthday in Luke's world not usually seen. In rare cases, family members often meet, but traditionally has not. Luke's parents are pleased indeed to see him, but that he must investigate it, they do not, of course, just good. Fortunately, Luke finds
but also other tracks that are promising.

A fitting conclusion to the six-part series. Very nice, as here mentioned this is why Luke has grown so exceptionally large - is in the other books mentioned from time to time, but it is still so important, huh I tte not thought of.



October 86th Death march (Richard Bachman aka Stephen King)


As you all know is, last year broke all the hunger-Games fever. Even my classmates were not spared, and after one of them told me in some detail what happened in the first part so all I have borrowed her first "Battle Royale" and second, like on "Death March" got. The book I've read several times, but so far it has not worn off.
I think that Stephen King is good at it, explore his characters and explore their psyche.

In a totalitarian America, every year the march. The event first 100 young people march up to the end only one remains. No one may go slower than four miles per hour, who is slower, you get a warning. Those who still can not continue after the third warning will be shot by the soldiers who accompany the walkers.
Young men may volunteer for making various entrance tests (physical fitness, mental maturity) and If you are lucky (or unlucky, how does one's), they are selected. Who is the first time on the list, still has a chance to think about it differently, for it is then a waiting list.
Ray Garraty is one of the substitutes. Even before the starting gun is found along a loose cluster of small boys with whom he befriends and then more or less maintains during the march.

It may sound a little boring, after doing nothing more than to put one foot before the other and march, but King manages to make the most consistently exciting. Scattered is of course by anecdotes from her past, telling the boys to each other and the like.
If someone other similar stories - can recommend, step right up 87th with the titles ^ ^

- whether in book or film form Dead girls do not lie (Jay Asher)

One day, Clay receives an anonymous package with 7 cartridges and a map in it. Curious what you want, he sits in the garage, where is still an old cassette player, and sets the first one. Heard
is Hannah Baker, a classmate Clay, who two weeks earlier, suicide. At six and a half of the cassettes it has thirteen stories, thirteen reasons for their actions taken. Anyone with something to do with her suicide in context has to listen to the tape to then free to forward also anonymously to the next on the list. After
in the garage can not be disturbed, Clay borrows to an old Walkman, and migrates deep into the night through the city. He listens to all the tapes and follow a map to the places for Hannah had a specific meaning, are listed.

As readers get set before us in italics what Hannah said, while Clay's thoughts are printed to normal. Every person gets to know you are human and full of errors. I found the book very well, and it must not necessarily to my collection. That's what, what can I read more often.
For Jay Asher's success came as a surprise - he wrote his first book, because it the suicide attempt of a young family very busy. The fact that then - without much advertising - so good, sold and now is available in several other countries, does not surprise me.

88th The Clan of the Wolf (Tue Toft)

Nat wants a dog, and aims to get it. But would like to turn on the puppy, which the owners of the farm when his grandfather took him, everything looks different from a young and cute. He is already quite large, dirty, and has shaggy fur. Nevertheless, there is something in the eyes of the animal, and Nat has the uncomfortable feeling when Woody - the name of the dog - do not take home is something bad to happen.
that Woody turns out to be shape-shifter, it does not take Nat's family. Finally, he had as a young child even a unicorn as invisible friend ... But Woody is one of the king Wolfen. Shapeshifter, which are the most time in wolf form on the road, except at full moon. Then they turn into people. So there are roughly reversed werewolves. Shortly after the discovery
Nats is for him and Woody even dangerous. The fact is cut off from a secret research station and is now wanted by bad companions, no regard absorb losses. Additionally, they can also do it even with werewolves.
Fortunately Nats Grandma Apple from time to time premonitions that will help them. And his mother is not as harmless as the bad guys at first sight.

Most children who have seen the book on the shelf fell on it probably because of the elaborate cover. Here Woody is ready to buy, depending on the perspective as a human and a wolf - which is not a simple WickelWackelBildchen, but you can watch the transformation of fluid. The content is also great, so there should be no disappointments there.
Tues Toft writes funny and exciting, their werewolves are - in werewolf form - (the human form of his well can never take all) is very dangerous and their leader Lucas Scale is a scary a contemporary Nats on the other hand side we have a great family that sticks together no matter what.
Chicken House recommends the book for readers aged 11, though one must say that it is not for the squeamish. In the showdown, it's quite to the point (so a melting werewolf is certainly not a pretty sight, and who has a lot of imagination, it will imagine the worse) would
Who can new items in a reading test. In
Wolven (so the original title) is a trilogy, but you can read the first volume without needing to have a continued need. To me it certainly was completed enough (which does not mean that I do not even read the sequels will still xD)

89th I, Dante, and the millions (Frida Nilsson)

works as one of three co-directors of the Bank, in Helge, retires, Helge takes his place. A great career move, the but nothing but problems entails. First, the new director Helge loses case, the other two have given him extra, then even ten million disappeared from the safe. Helge is the same suspect, landing after a spectacular run to the dump, where he wants to stay at first, until everything has calmed down. There he meets Dante, a rat with which he, according to initial squabbles befriends and shares the apartment.

In itself a nice story that is at times quite funny, but older children could happen here not taken quite seriously when is simplified as the work at the bank represented so insane. Now, I am no one who has books to children any abstruse claims, but reading it seemed to me more often, as if the author simply underestimate their readers.

90th Barnaby Grimes I - Curse of the Night Wolf [Barnaby Grimes I - The Curse of the Werewolf] (Paul Stewart, Chris Riddell)

Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell are simply a class team, and this again with Barnaby Grimes clearly demonstrated.
Barnaby Grimes is a so-called Tick-Tock Lad, one of the kinds of news or articles in a very short time from one to the other Takes place. He learns all parts of the city not only very good but also know from a different perspective, because as one of the best in his profession, Barnaby also dominated the high-stacking - jumping from roof to roof to go over ledges and so on .
One night, Barnaby attacked by a huge dog, he can only kill with happiness. Barnaby is a good friend then disappeared, destroyed his rocking chair, blood spatter in the area. Barnaby begins to investigate a little, and finally comes to Dr. Cadwallader, a doctor, the need for free Dispenses medicine. He wins as a customer, and can gather more evidence that the doctor is somehow related to the huge dogs that have recently been seen frequently in the city. Barnaby Grimes

The books are relatively thin, with only just over 200 pages. There is of course quite a lot of pictures are printed, one is then afloat. But the adventures are definitely worth reading.
It's been well made that the first chapter shows Barnaby in distress, and swirled quickly to the most exciting place in the beginning of the story, so you know in advance that it is still dangerous, but not how exactly does it do so.
is practical in any case you can read the adventures independently, so no conditions order, or all gaps must have.

91st Barnaby Grimes III - Legion of the Dead [Barnaby Grimes III - The Legion of the Dead] (Paul Stewart, Chris Riddell)

growing number of corpses from their graves. The fear of being buried alive, is making sure that rich people can afford a small bell at the grave that in the event that they wake up in the coffin, can ring to call for help.
Barnaby, meanwhile, at the funeral of the absolute boss of all the bands taking part of the city, Firejaw O'Roarke. So far so good. But when he wants to take one night a shortcut through the cemetery, he finds grave Firejaws vacated. Only been stuck since no grave robbers behind, but Firejaw As Barnaby himself but just attacked by a water snake, he is not sure whether he has really seen it all, or whether the poison has only fooled him.
When he recovered, he heard rumors of other deaths and disappeared again begins to investigate. Why are the dead, what they do and who's behind it?

after me very well liked both books, I'll also Volumes II and IV TBD sometime ^ ^

92nd King Cat Mauzenberger (Erwin Moser)

cat king Mauzenberger both in cats and mice very popular. Not only because he has delivered peace between them. Well his birthday is coming up, and the course is to be celebrated. The best birthday so far it should be, but that is not easy. Mauzenberger is dissatisfied. The constant sunshine annoys him, he does not want to paint - and when he does, the picture is a disaster - and in general just everything is so boring.
For his birthday he wants a thunderstorm - what should the inventor Oskar cat with a mouse Rich's possible. The mice work under the baker on a giant cake that will look like the king, and somewhere a horse must be worried.
While all join in the work lies in bed and can Mauzenberger depressed by anything be encouraged. He remembers not even when he stole the crown from the head and replaced with the potty is.
As if all this were not enough power, also a gang of thieves out to loot the treasury, where they support Agathe, the giant found by the use of paper money had become green spider.

I have loved as a child, I love it now still. Erwin Moser I always like to read anyway, but cats Mauzenberger king is and remains my favorite book by him.

93rd As one awakens an elf? (Tanya Stewner)

Twin sisters, and Florentine Pauline grow up among books. The father is a publisher (or works at least in the publishing house) and her mother runs a bookstore. Florentine is regularly read from their favorite book of elves, which also mentions a ritual through which they can see elves, because if she believes in them. This ritual, she has often tried in vain, but when she tried it again, it actually works. A fat little elf (look see cover) whizzes through the air. Her name is Hummelbi, and sinks straight into work. Since all the other elves were getting weaker by degrees, until in a fell asleep, it must also assume their responsibilities.
Florentine Hummelbi holds first secret. Not even Paul tells them this because they constantly quarrel with it now has. But to help Hummelbi, the siblings must work together. They should ensure that more people read again stories about elves. And although about real fairies, fat, funny elves as Hummelbi. Namely what is now often referred to as an elf, pretty, tall, with glitter are really fairies.

A nice book, which, unfortunately, one or the other Manko has.
should be recorded on the plus side of the dispute between the two girls, and how it is resolved. This was credible and had the children seem more realistic. The idea that elves lose their power, because people have forgotten just how real fairies look like, I found funny - anyway I liked Hummelbi and the others.
were less successful, however, the illustrations - the ten year old twins looked like teens and even told me the style rather less. That said, I had also once again the impression that the author underestimates its readers in some places and therefore explains everything very simplistic. Too bad.

94th Honky Tonk Pirates I - the Promised Land (Joachim Masannek)

Berlin in 1760. Will is an orphan, lives with his best friend Jo in the dome of the cathedral. He earns his living by thievery, which he always leaves behind a black wooden ball with a skull on it, because it would be like a pirate. Will he hell dog would call. But the dream seems faded away when he caught one day, and is sentenced to death along with Jo. When they had got out waiting to be hanged, they come with a fellow prisoner - Kahiki Moses - in conversation and somehow manage to convince Baron de Talleyrand, for the time being to be able to survive. This chattering those in power in Berlin, the three criminals, and sailed off with them. On his ship, they have to suffer right - in the sun fry until the skin hanging in shreds, and then there are also gulls, which they consider to treat. All because Will the Baron has stolen an amulet.
Talleyrand at first but after they got rid of that land three in New Nassau, where swarms of pirates, and a second amulet should be hidden, which will lead together with the first one to treasure.
Will see as inexperienced beginners pirates and company against the others, of course, old, and even the Baron is still washed up on shore. Since they can only Honky Tonk Hannah help their pirate character as well. Just stupid, that pirates can not be trusted, even when fighting on the same page. As has

Joachim Masannek indeed committed a crime, "the wild football guys," I was very skeptical. But was pleasantly surprised. Old Berlin with all its inhabitants seems eerily alive and is so described that I had pictures of it directly in the head. The fact that the raids are exaggerated by Will bothers some is not, then the same with master thieves. The Masannek typical, rather ridiculous, cursing are used not as inflationary as the wild guys, but are extremely rare. Most of the people speak somewhat normally.
also part of the pirates will not degenerate into pure nonsense, but has partly realistic and partly just something fantastic. A bit of magic here, a little there to fight ingenious deposits. Just everything what is expected of such a story also
I am all in all like a great - the sequel, which was released at the same time, I still have not read that was not to get a reading copy. is to be filmed
Oh, the book also. In view of the story which is then something like Pirates of the Caribbean for children ^ ^

95th Alabama Moon (W Key)

Moon lives alone with his father in the woods. They both feed mainly on hunting, sleeping in a hole in the ground, take some home-made garments made of leather. Everything because the father is radically opposed to a government - not a specific one, but in general. Of course, he has also been told Moon, how bad is it, and that the government was after them. As Moon's father dies one day to a broken leg - medical care, he refuses - he demands even last that Moon should go to Alaska, where there is supposedly more people like him should be.
After he buried his father, Moon addressed the most important belongings in a wheelbarrow, and sets off. But after a few kilometers, it is picked up by a police officer and - because he physically attacked this quite successfully - for the first time locked in a cell. That makes him less than the police officer believes, because such good food like this, Moon bekamt rarely
After a short flight Moon is finally locked in a reformatory. But even as it holds it for long. Ehrlich, like Moon, he immediately had said that he will not stay long, and comes as a chance, he runs away. And notes with anyone who wegmöchte well. The school bus is stolen, and half the school leaves. Until they arrived at the forest, but most have been so afraid that only go on Moon, Kit and Hal.

A great adventure story for the guys that do not with fantasy, nor do with football a lot. The story is convincing, the main character you like, and even if there are some cliches, but also the other characters fit into the overall picture. I liked also that not everything always goes well and that Moon, so kind and honest he is, in a fight not fair fights, but to win as quickly as possible. Since then also added to ever below the belt.
2009, the book already filmed ( Trailer )
ran the first only at festivals, but I have read my, that he then also made it into the cinemas. And in March, there is then able to get a RC1 DVD.

96th Monster & Co: Werewolf in use (Beastly Boys)

Ulf is a werewolf. He lives and works in the grounds of the Royal Society for the Protection of threatened (fantastic) living beings, just KGSBL. One day he observed Dr. Fielding the flight of a dragon along with Juntier on the radar. Then, suddenly, nothing is visible. When they finally arrive where contact was lost, they state that killed the young and the mother was kidnapped. Any criminal is at work here, and with the help of some other residents of the area is finally Ulf Baron Marackai to track down who wants to make money have to fight two fantastic creatures in an arena against each other. The invited guests are allowed to place bets, and the winner is he who kills his opponent.

Sample
As with "Clan of the Wolf" is a loose picture on the cover - in this case, however, smaller and with only two stages. Ulf once as a man once seen as a werewolf.
The story is exciting entertainment for readers from 8 But many at that age could be too scary, and for older people, so from 10 and something else.
There are currently two books in the series, the third released in April.

97th Skulduggery Pleasant V - Mortal Coil (Derek Landy)

to avoid that someone can use their real names to them, this seal can Valkyrie. This is a dangerous business, so she told them no one. That they also could take a little look in their own future, about which she can talk to anyone or wants to ensure that they are of Skulduggery and company retreats slightly.
reflected the way the Irish community magician around with political problems. After the old sanctuary is no longer available, they desperately need a new one, before other countries to interfere too much.
also have to do Skulduggery and Valkyrie with a seemingly invincible assassin who they are to deter a convicted murderer to kill.
And because it's not enough will work hard to come eventually released even the remnants, ghost-like creatures, almost all of which soon people are obsessed, and which cause no good.

have the latest in this band then I completely lost track of who is evil, who is good, who was angry with me, now is good but who was once good but now bad and especially over who would bear the name and doing what and why. Still, he liked me again - I was a little crammed with story that is covered too fast, but otherwise worth reading.
I think I should I get the books easy all myself, I can read them again, and I might then People remember more xD

98th Olive and the House of Shadows (Jacqueline West)

Olive's parents are successful mathematician, constantly busy with research, and have less time for her daughter. Worse is for Olive, that they move very often, so they always need a new start without friends, and adapt constantly to new apartments or houses must.
There are currently summer vacation when it is time again. The old villa where they feed, is Olive from the beginning a bit fishy. Everything is big, dark and creepy. And Then there are the pictures that hang on the walls everywhere and make Olive fear. When the father they want to lose weight for her sake, he must realize that they are so attached to the wall, that is to make nothing.
When her parents even have to go away overnight, Olive explored their new home in more detail. She meets three talking cats, who say they watch over the house. Then she also finds a pair of glasses that allows it to go into the pictures that are distributed throughout the home. But what is more exciting and interesting first revealed at some point to be extremely dangerous, and Olive to be their lives fighting for.

Very exciting fantasy adventure, which also stands out for the scene of action. Everything happens on a very limited space, if one disregards the world in the pictures, not even olive leaves the house.
As I just pointed out, in October of this year announced a sequel, but if someone does not like the compulsion to read more, he can get to know Olive anyway. The book ends as self-contained, that it may as well stand on its own. I certainly did not think after the last sentence "and how it's done now?"

May 40th Marvel Illustrated: Picture of Dorian Gray (Authors: Roy Thomas, Oscar Wilde; illustrators: Sebastian Fiumara, Giulia Brusco, Gerald Parel)


After I had already read the novel in 2009, my comics were kindly lent. I would like to encourage anyone who wants to know the exact contents of the book without having read the book have Unlike the original, everything here is rendered somewhat gathered, the since long drivel that were rather bored, trimmed, it has been focused on the core of the story. If I've noticed that right, the first comprising of 6 comics a good half or even a bit more of the book because the story is only then under way. Nothing against Oscar Wilde, but the comic book version I liked it better ^ ^

41st Skulduggery Pleasant III - The Faceless Ones [Skulduggery Pleasant III - Skulduggery] (Derek Landy)

After Valkyrie and Skulduggery in the second book were fired from the Sanctuary, they find again for the first time as a spectator. would that they can consider a totally inept detective in the new work, not even notice a hint when it would be written in neon colors "note", hurts them most. That Kenspeckle also accessible at rummosert Skulduggery because of the ever puts in a fourteen-year-old in danger, makes the mood any better. are killed as
then gradually all the teleporters until only one is left - an arrogant teenager who refused cooperation with the Sanctuary of - Research the two on your own and find out after bad.
Somebody wants to get across the faceless in this world. If it works out, the world would be gone.

As with the first two volumes here the action is paramount. I still can not imagine a film great. However, I got the latest from volume three slight problems, I remember all the protagonists. Since accumulate over time the amazing to many that belong to different organizations or villains, or turn their own thing. Sure, you always have the most important in mind, but so slowly I lost track of.
The end of the strip is a nasty cliffhanger from the first I really had no idea how that can be resolved, but it is Derek Landy managed satisfactorily (and if I had a better memory, I would perhaps even come on it ^ ^)

42nd Skulduggery Pleasant IV - Dark Days [Skulduggery Pleasant IV - Sabotage in the Sanctuary] (Derek Landy)

Since then band four is content so closely associated with the third party, I had extra wait until both outside were so I could read them directly one after another.
are told how the cliffhanger resolved satisfactorily and logical - but it is already well on it half of the book. In the other half we got it with the Revengers Club to do a small gathering of known and vanquished bad guys who have something against Skulduggery and Valkyrie and plan the way an attack on the sanctuary. Besides, you can learn more Valkyrie true name, you can watch the process as she uses her new skills as a Necromancer and meets again on Billy Ray Sanguin, that can handle sour them on is, after they had wounded him in band three fairly heavy.

Here I had then the problem that I have for some time with the first did not know where I need to know again. Upon request, I was able to learn that I was not so alone. It just happens a lot with real damn many characters, all of which can be important in some way, rumnerven or halt in the background. But after all, was the precursor not so long ago, so I still start with what most people still could. It was disastrous until five band xD

43rd I am the Messenger [The Joker] (Markus Zusak)

After the Book Thief was so successful, and we took of course, other books on the shelf Zusak, I have been reading the Joker again. Was interested, and I've done the audio book to heart. Although I usually can not follow as well when I was not even read, I had less problems here. Probably because it was english, and I could not wander about as fast.
Ed, a nine-year-old Schluffi lives so to himself, earns his living driving taxis (for which he is really still too young) and takes care to otherwise his old dog, or hanging with friends. But when he gets in a bank robbery and the robber is by chance, everything changes. He
playing cards found in his letter cards. The addresses or other clues that are on it cause it to people who can help those he know what he is doing little by then. This
he meets not only a couple of other people, but also himself, and his friends a little better.
The end was now not sure of the scoop, not exactly unexpected, but it was fine, and has not ruined the previous story. And anyway the interesting thing was, the end was not really necessary and could have simply left open.

44th Percy Jackson I - The Lightning Thief [Percy Jackson I - The Lightning Thief] (Rick Riordan)

Something else that I do not read but had heard.
Percy Jackson is twelve years old and lives with his mother and a horrible step-father in New York. He is dyslexic, has ADHD and has been the enrollment of a new school every year flown.
So much for the easy part of his life. It takes
namely not long before he is attacked by his algebra teacher, and suddenly finds himself on the run from mythical creatures. His best buddy Grover turns out to be a satyr (which explains beard growth and reduced mobility), Percy is a demigod themselves, and together with the parent they are on their way to the safety of Camp Half Blood.
After spending some time there, his father confesses to him. Now he may move into the house of his father, and the cabin can of Hermes, in which his children and all who do not know from which God descended to leave residence. Slow and steady wins the rest, however, because he is accused of stealing Zeus' lightning ruler and gets ten days to return it. Along with Grover and Annabeth - a daughter of Athena - he is on his way.

After the film in theaters, of course, the previously existing books were in demand again increased, and so I was curious. From Grundpsinzip the whole thing sounded like a pretty typical fantasy story with the trio also quite typical. But the reaction has really succeeded, and how the Greek mythology was a mess out here like me.
I found particularly interesting the Erklärung, warum Percy ADHS und Legasthenie hat (was den anderen Halbgöttern nicht anders ergeht) ^^

Kurz nachdem ich das Buch durchgehört hatte, habe ich dann auch einen Blick in den Film gewagt, es aber nicht geschafft, den komplett zu schauen. Da war mir einfach zu viel zu stark geändert. Angefangen beim Alter der Protagonisten zog sich das durch den ganzen Film. Ich kann ja damit leben, wenn jemand statt einem Internat eine normale Schule besucht, und dass in Filmen oft mehrere Buchfiguren in einer Filmfigur vereint werden ist auch ok. Aber die wichtigen Personen sollten dann doch beibehalten werden, sonst gibt es wie hier ein völlig anderes Ende, das von vornherein ausschließt, to continue to attach meaningful. (Which brings me back to the idea that in any case quite a lot of fantasy films based on book series, apparently created from the beginning so that they can stand on its own. That was in Inkheart so, the golden compass to , and winter solstice, it has taken to the extreme)
Well, anyway, the book has certainly been fun and I will do the sequels too someday. Recommended for anyone who liked Harry Potter and the like. But you should not be pedantic interest in Greek mythology, or likely the whole History into a single offense

degenerate 45th The Long Walk of the Stars (Willi ferryman)

Some years ago I read that before, borrowed from a roommate. In the boarding had my roommate equal an anthology of all four books of the saga Bien man there, and has kindly given me to read. Ca lives
1870 fourteen-year-old Luke Bien man with his mother and grandfather in Liebenberg in East Prussia. The economic situation is bad, so the grandfather decides with his troupe Zimmermann to go to America to earn money for a few years. Luke would like to learn with, something about his father, who was the grandfather regarded as good for nothing, because he wanted to paint only, and no right Zimmermann.
agrees After some back and forth, and the grandfather of Luke may come as an apprentice. Already on the first ship he finds his father's footsteps and is the sail-maker in exchange for liquor tell much.
pulls the column arrived in America through the land, build times here and there, something bigger, something smaller occurs at the log sawing against a modern automatic saw and what not all. Some of the carpenters left behind over time, the group shrinks, and Luke is growing up.

An exciting adventure story. Who might like to read historical Rainer Schröder, is also the book. Since I now know the three other novels, it is also clear why the first is the most famous one. The others are not bad, but I have not quite like.

46th time to love to hate Time (William ferryman)

1919 in Berlin. Paul Bien man touched down in search of work here. Instead of work, he finds a crumbling system, and street fighting. Right at the beginning of the book he looks at a shootout with in the death of a friend of him. Meanwhile, little brother Bruno agrees with Paul because he has no one else.
will also try his luck as Paul in the Ruhr area, comes with Bruno, hoping to find the murderer of his brother. comes

No question, this book is written in a lively and seems authentic, but the long way it approached no more.

47th Solo Volume 1 - Gone (Bruno Gazzotti, Fabien Vehlman)

"Gone" is the first volume of the Piredda Verlag appearing series "Left Behind". It is about a five-adventure series books for children, have been published so far four of them. The contents of the first volume can be seen basically as a prologue to the story. At the beginning everything is still normal in Fortville, the city that provides the backdrop. We catch a glimpse of the main characters - five children - in their daily lives before the inexplicable disaster occurs. Dodji orphan, the twelve year old Leila, who are originally from a wealthy family Yvan, grind Camilla and Terry, the youngest in the league, one morning left alone from all others in their city again. No adult is referred to, but other children seem to have disappeared. The five protagonists meet by and by, and decide to stay together. Together they set out to find other people to eat and especially after a safe lodging and some. be dangerous to them free-running dogs, but also animals that were bushed from an abandoned circus, roam the city.

The story is worth reading and definitely makes you want more. The image sections appear very often by way of film, like a story board - the panel is properly defined, the impression strengthened. It tries not only to play with the Panels to leave something to overlap, but all kept very simple. Are the simplified drawings. Colors are set very flat, shading shown by shading. Especially the colors are not gaudy, it will all be represented fairly realistic. The simplified style is out of place at times a bit too cute, and - if, for example, the innards of a dead dog are shown. Although an exaggerated Symbols is omitted, but the style will make sure that the comic seems more than slightly serious. Occasional sentimental scenes are weakened from the outset. This looseness is also supported by the background noise, which is often written down and in extreme volume displayed in red.

"Solo" is a good comic for children who are interested in serious issues and also the comic book format are not averse. The style is similar to the still very, witty and harmless comic strips, which are also suitable for younger people, which a transition to more difficult topics is made easy at least visually.

Unfortunately I have not got to read the sequels, and now when I go through my reading list, I will yet again wondering what is behind the empty world.

48th Year of the Wolf (William ferryman)

1944/45 everything still seems to be OK in Liebenberg, but then the Russian front is approaching and flee the bee's with many others from the village .
On the run they do to help, hostility, indifference, burning villages and frostbite children.

also remains only to say again: exciting and authentic acting. The characters are drawn as in previous books, interesting and likeable. That Luke here as the grandfather of the main character reappears Konrad was nice too.

49th Kristina, do not forget (Willi ferryman)

lives in the early seventies Kristina with her mother, grandmother and brother Janec in Poland. The grandmother is always an application for leave to Germany, where Kristina prefer Poland would remain. Even if it is there more as a German. After all, she has friends here and love it at that. But then
is finally granted a request by the grandmother and the family moved to Germany, where the father has been alive for some time.
is first brought the family into a transit camp until they can move to the Ruhr. Kristina everything is strange and she is seen as foreigners, as a Pole. Only when she becomes friends with classmate John she comes right in Germany.

stinks compared to its predecessors rather from the last volume. The figures are kind of bored and you feel with not so correct. The topic itself is interesting, but the implementation is unfortunately not succeeded so well.
The other three books I would definitely read it again, here the other hand, I would save me then.

50th Flavia Deluce - murder is not child's play (Alan Bradley)

put together a puppeteer's assistant with the defective car fixed in Bishop's Lacey, the hometown of Flavia Deluce. This soon becomes friends with Nialla and Rupert, whose appearance means a change at last from the boredom that prevails in the village. It may help both the construction stage and the rehearsal of the view from the village pastor spontaneously organized performance.
When the going gets tough, unfortunately, ends up not only the giant puppets dead on the ground, but Rupert the same time. Flavia, curious as it is beginning to rumzuschnüffeln so on, and stumbles in their investigation, directly or via a case that is several years old.

the first volume - murder of the Pie - I do not know. One must know not to enjoy the second can. The characters be adequately presented, and the first case mentioned is not great.
are people who find Flavia Deluce are terrible, like old, nasty, unappealing. Others again, including myself, feel the Addams Family remembers. Flavia looked at me a little like Saturday, which she also sees little bit similar. She is highly intelligent, argues with her sisters, who are so different from them (one a chick, the other a bookworm, which were mainly interested in Schnulzromane) goes further and it would be a normal kid do that . Since they have not only a chemistry set, but it is also more than well versed, they poisoned, for example, just place a few chocolates to her sister with a small amount of arsenic, to let the nurse get stomach problems. Through such actions, and substantial absence of feelings when it comes to body finds and the like, acts like a small Soziopathin Flavia. So you can be happy that they on the right side of the law
is exactly what the book did for me is also worth reading. Quite a bit of cynicism and sarcasm by Flavia is then cared for the humor.

51st Riot in paradise (Sabine Ludwig)

Although the twelve year old Phil has no desire to ever, he is on vacation from his father forced to migrate with him to go. The navigation system on which the father relies, however, does not really, and they moved for the first time properly. On the way they collect then another single parent, a parent with two children who are on their way to a holiday club. Next
the unreliable Navi unit following the motley crew suddenly into a slimy mass, which is the engine of the car almost the rest. But then operate the windshield wipers again some extent, and they can see where they landed.
The holiday club was in the women Schultze ZementaSamantha and Justin, it is certainly not, but it is a holiday club, and if one of Harry hemp stalk, the manager, is already invited, free of charge to remain as a sample guest there, take the of course. The fact that there can
the garden fences of sausage, plants from various sweets, fish fingers swim in the river and a fountain gushing forth a variety of drinks Philip makes one wonder. Somehow this is everything, as in the fairy tale of paradise described. The fact that he finally sees a running around, roast suckling pig that makes things clear for him. The adults think Harry
course hemp stalk, claiming that it was just a club that will be like paradise, and Justin, the annoying little brother of Samantha is interested in anyway for other things.
Together with Sam Philip tried to say the thing to get on the track, not getting stuck forever in this remarkable place.

Sabine Ludwigs writing style is wonderful. The story is filmed, as it is of you know otherwise, the protagonists are sympathetic, unsympathetic, antagonists, and the adults generally not very close anyway
If you know the fairy tale of paradise, which is nice, but otherwise the story is meant too - Philip, the story as a child might, in between explaining the most important points because Sam did not know it. After reading
keep at least I times the author in mind, so at some point I can read something else by it. "7th Sunday in August would be "as something for me ^ ^

52nd I do not want you to cry (Jennifer Crane)

Jennifer was 15 when was diagnosed with cancer. She held her firmly now lives in diary form, and the mother met a few years after the death of Jen's wish that it should be published.
The style of writing notes is that it was written by a teenager that has not bothered me personally.

Because I come with "today I'm blond" - a book with a similar topic - could not do much because the style was terribly annoyed has, I was here a little skeptical. Wrongly, however, as I could tell then.

53rd The trio billion and the Indian diamond (Richard Newsome)


After a great aunt, which he did not even know existed, he has bequeathed his entire fortune, is Gerald the richest boy in the world. His parents are the same on the road with the private jet to fly to the luxury yacht in order to go around the private island. Gerald let back into the care of his butler, besieged by paparazzi. When he opens one after the shock of the great legacy for the first time forgotten envelope He reads a letter from the aunt. She herself claims to have been murdered likely, and leaves the statement that Gerald should just trust anybody, and find out but please, who was the perpetrator.
Fortunately he meets after moving into his new country house - far away from paparazzi - the twins Ruby and Sam who are helping him with his research. The fact that he has a lot of money available is not always helpful and in addition to the case which he worked, he must occasionally also Rumschlag still with relatives who have 'only' a few Milliönchen tapped, and angry adapted.

Since this is a mixture of adventure and fantasy minimal proportions, I am inclined to compare the book with Indiana Jones. Just with children in the lead roles.
I thought it was great anyway, and hope to Fortzsetzungen ^ ^

54th Skeleton Creek - when evil awakes (Patrick Carman)

Here is a book to which I was mainly due to the attention of the envelope. It was not the design of it, but its defacement by a fat, green FSC label.
"Why?" I was thinking to myself, "now they stick to things already on the books?"
A closer look but it provided clear. The seal was there because the book is a DVD, and must now times have a rating.
But the content: Skeleton Creek is a ghost story in diary form. Ryan and his girlfriend Sarah have tried to uncover the secret of her hometown, Skeleton Creek. They have made a backhoe in the woods with the old creepy discovery, where Ryan was killed.
is released from the hospital he at home with a broken leg in bed, contact Sarah's parents forbid him. Of course he is not adhering to the ban and secretly exchanged e-mails with her.
As long as he can do nothing but rumzuliegen, he writes everything in which he remembers, in a diary. Sarah for further research while, has her video camera always with you, and sends Ryan passwords so he can watch the clips on a separate page.
Gradually we learn as readers, as it came to Ryan's broken leg to get on the videos at the same time already know how it goes.

A really interesting book put up. Who Blair Witch Project did, may find pleasure in Skeleton Creek. The combination of diary and video clips is well done, and if you have the DVD yet the sound it would be almost perfect. The synchronization has unfortunately quite cheap. As I've watched the clips again in the original (the English book you probably really only need the passwords and the clips can watch them online), the mood was much the same across better, and where previously no emotion played credible, I was convinced then that.
comes out in February to continue in German, so if you have interest to consume more quickly the first part



June 55th Reckless - stone meat (Cornelia Funke)


After his father is gone, Jacob Reckless attracts more and more often in the world behind the mirror. There he soon made a name as a treasure hunter, so that the richest people, dwarfs or Goyle give him different assignments. Will
One day his younger brother watched as Jacob goes through the mirror, and crept after him.
course, he promptly gets into trouble, so be Tissue slowly turned to stone. As with a Goyl. Together with friend Clara Jacobs and a figure-walker named Fuchs brothers, therefore make the search for a cure. As Wills
new flesh but just consists of jade, which Goyl are after him, they say that the Jade-human Goyl is extremely powerful, what the ruler of the Goyl exploit to his advantage could.

You can tell already the first name of the main characters: here are some tales of the Brothers Grimm mess out and shown in a different guise. Some readers find Reckless really bad, and it would most like to read before. I liked it quite well, and I felt like after reading in Inkheart not necessarily a desire to continue immediately to take in hand. With the ink world, I would not compare well in size. Sure, it plays again in a world in which one can escape from our more or less, but this world is very different than what's inside in Inkheart. Especially impacted the world and history of adult to me, this is doubtless because the protagonists are older.
The only thing I really do not like to Reckless, the Cover. I find really ugly, and even if someone who is slow to stone, not very sure look pretty has to, it looks just silly.

56th Strangers in Paradise Vol I (Terry Moore)
57th Strangers in Paradise Vol II (Terry Moore)


Okay. For information to the content it would be most useful if you just thread the of [info] allround_nerd read. Has advised me to read the times, and knows of course also well.
I say even now very little about this: I liked it - and yet I have not got to Vol III to begin, because the damned simply involves a lot more books than I and II, and me just in comics but then scare. Vol I, I had times - going so fast - and found it successful. Since the sound is there but still a bit different, I was not the same totally impressed. The first came with Vol II, where you can learn a lot about the characters and going on a lot of drama. I think that was the first time that I drove a comic tears in the eyes (if you look apart from tears of laughter)

58. Odessa and the secret world of books (Peter van Olmen)

was present as a reading copy, the cover spoke to me not particularly the blurb but even more so. As I already had announced more often, I like books in which it comes to books is that fact alone. If then also be able to offer a new story, as I have not yet got to read the better.
But we come to the content. Odessa is twelve years old and lives with her single mother. The father does not know, has never received from him says. The house must not leave them. So if it does, which would probably do everyone, and night after night, sneaks out the window to the city to watch from the rooftops. No one should be up there know about as good as them. In one of the night trips, she looks at her with such strange pigs being kidnapped her mother, and finds an even more remarkable, brilliant book. After a short chase
- has fortunately they folded their roles in the shoes for faster pace - the first time she looks after at home if their mother is not yet there, and it has confused some love with her.
The mother is gone, other pig creature are you on your heels, so stay Odessa no other choice than to someone who knows about everything to make the search. That someone is smoking cigars Lode A. A canary, the Odessa holds for not too smart (which I had to agree with him more often then) Together they make their way to Scribopolis, the secret city in the Appeal celebrities of writers who think we are all dead, live on. She hopes to find her mother and a reference to the father, makes way for a competition with where it is about who should be sent to turn a villain and must therefore come to terms that it is not just a girl seriously.

The idea of history is in any case ever fantastic. Many little things I noticed positive, some well-known writers are sympathetic or unsympathetic completely let loose on Odessa and the reader and what it shall indicate creatures and magic items, is also wonderful. Unfortunately, the implementation has, however, often bumpy, and Odessa is sometimes so dense that it is for the reader who knows a lot long before her, sometimes a little boring. Nevertheless, a book that I like to read.

59th Chronicles the world viewfinder II - The Palace of Poseidon (Thomas Thiemeyer)

Shortly after their first adventure together, given the troops to Carl Friedrich von Humboldt a new order. Near Santorini keep disappearing ships, which are drawn according to eye witness reports of giant octopus arms under water. A Greek shipping company owner is particularly affected, and committed about the team.
again with an opaque persecutor of the neck, they embark on a voyage charter, and Finally, the most advanced research ship of the time. They want to go to the place where so many ships have disappeared, to be there with a dipping shot in the depth to see what lurks there.
As in the first part, we get it so along with Carl Friedrick with Oscar, Charlotte, Eliza and Kiwi Wilma do. To support them are Hippolyte Rimbault - the inventor of the diving bell - and his daughter Océanne on board.

The mix of adventure, a little science fiction and fantasy is a hint in the second volume in the series again very good. With the characters with a fever is the same. And Oskar times just in passing that Jules Verne meets, the book makes it even nicer. Because of course the story is heavily based on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
The opponent this time is again very common, and a horse loose horse-chase is something that I can share my joy
In particular, I've enjoyed it but that Wilma this time quite a large and important role has played (which would have worked without a gadget from the first volume barely)
I should specify times the books that are written and look great in hardcover from real smart. If I had only read copies To keep before being given away elsewhere. _.

When he threatens him with his pocket knife - knowing that this may be just another mythical creature - the wrong Jared turns into a little boy, and get real huge trouble.
disappears then also Mallory and the twins set out to search. They end up in an abandoned quarry and discover that Mallory is held captive by dwarves.

64th The Spiderwick Chronicles - The Wrath of Mulgarath [The Spiderwick Secrets - Revenge of the Goblins] return (Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi)

As the children home, they find the house in ruins and her mother is gone. Hogsqueal reported that she had been kidnapped by goblins that they should bring Mulgarath Palace. The children also now go to where they are fighting the goblins attacked by dragons and will eventually have to defeat Mulgarath itself. Alongside them are here Hogsqueal, Thimbletack and Byron, the griffin.

Tony DiTerlizzis illustrations are great and liked the story to me too. Especially because the protagonists are so beautiful three-dimensional. Which act like real kids with real problems and the mother can also understand. Of course, the individual books all relatively short, each about 130 pages. The writing is relatively large so that the audience does not give up frustrated and also loosen the images again to all.
So, when I go back and think again because , I would have liked the books themselves also had easy to order two copies, as I've given away xD



July 65th The Book Thief [The Book Thief] (Markus Zusak)


One of the best books I have read. Not only this year but as a whole.
from acute laziness I skip a table of contents, [info] allround_nerd is Thread anyway very detailed explanation on the ^ ^

66th Silk and Sword (Kai Meyer)

China about 1760th Nugua is sacrificed to the dragon as a baby, so they continue to bring rain to water the fields. However, they keep the dragon and pull it big. But one day, the dragon suddenly disappeared without a trace and Nugua makes his way to regain it. Since they never had contact with people and himself feels more like a dragon, the beginning is not easy.
the same time on a large, solid cloud. Niccolo is an outsider among the people of the cloud people. His late father was not brought up to him to fit unconditionally and most like Niccolo would leave the cloud. When the Aetherpumpen suddenly stop working and the cloud slowly decreases until it wedged between some mountains comes to a standstill, his chance has come. Someone has to leave the cloud, and looking for dragons that breathe ether is known, so the cloud does not gradually shrinks until it reaches the ground. In their search
meet Nugua and Niccolo, sometimes they go on together. They are accompanied by still Feiqing, a poor guy who is fused with a dragon costume and has no memory of who he is or where he comes from.

Unlike other books that by Kai Meyer I've read so I was not here so much carried away. The trio was fun to read, some supporting characters were also strong, and the fantasy that has been incorporated, was also my case, but the first book read a little tough. Above all, what happened during Niccolo's absence on the cloud, often was a rather insipid slot, so I've always looked forward, when there was another storyline to the series again. Maybe it was because that I just never Alessia was sympathetic (which improved with the other volumes, even though they had to do since even a bit more)

67th The long dark teatime of the soul [The Long, Dark Tea-Time of the Soul] (Douglas Adams)

Because I come in April finally met its predecessors, I was thinking once belonged to the second part, instead of reading itself. Since I already knew him, then afterwards I have to keep in mind is still a lot ^ ^
last time Dirk has a rich client - and he has also urgently needed. He said that listening to clients, but with only half an ear as he explains the its location - a seven-foot wide, green-eyed beast followed him with a scythe because of some Contract - is the client's undoing. Dirk arrives late at the appointed time - what could happen eventually even if he is not punctual, and anyone who makes contact so early in the morning from a meeting, and expects also that one if and only appears? - And finds the police, who searched the apartment. The head of the client was on a rotating record is also found that the body is far enough away from the head that you can expect a recovery action was unnecessary. After Dirk
then finds also the son of the client - Gets broken and the prompt nose as he him off the TV - he decides to investigate, despite the deceased client further.
He gets into the most abstruse situations, get the nose of an eagle on demolished and finally meets the one or the other Nordic god.

So far I have yet read of Adam's nothing that would not have suited me. I think the confused Bays damn entertaining and love the ideas and thoughts chains that are found in the books. And because the stories are always so full of digressions, it's worth it then again, they still to read it, because you have so much at once Randomn do not even notice (I do not at least) can



August 68th Lance and light (Kai Meyer)


The way the trio split up for now. Niccolo force is applied only once on the way to Tieguai, one of the last immortals, in order to warn him about Moon Child, which already has some immortals on his conscience. Impractical here that Niccolo is due to a magical connection madly in love with the moon child, and it does not have the heart to really fight against them.
Nugua during the other of an immortal, Li, with its crane to the dragon graveyard, where they hope to answer the first question of the whereabouts of the dragon, and secondly, try, Nugua rid of a deadly curse.
Feiqing follows the two together with a sword fighter Whisperwind walk. On the island there
clouds Alessia meanwhile out some, and makes itself into the heart of the cloud in order to find the remaining residual ether.

From here I was again completely drawn into the spell of the story and have kept their books as the other usual. Alessia I still did not, but at least more interesting things happen on the cloud. The triangular love story was the fact that Niccolo moon child just does not love does not voluntarily do so tacky, and I was always glad when Feiqing has loosened up the whole drama with his presence - even though he actually is a very tragic figure. But in the costume he can be not easy to take seriously

69th Dragon and diamond (Kai Meyer)

The protagonists have arrived at the dragon and you wait really only that the final battle starts. Various parties are found to close one and it is damn exciting.

Yes, I do not really want to say more to the point where most other Summaries, which one reads anyway betrayed always liked me too much
the battles and wars Kai Meyer describes still extremely good, I think for that he has just the right feeling. It is never placed or exaggerated in terms of action. People - or animals - are injured in a fight or die. Nobody gets just confident and consistently clean to get through the fog of war, and that appeals to me. Was a successful conclusion, can forgive me, the tougher the beginning.
Misas thread for the series.

70th Like cotton candy (pink copy of the reading was) with silver threads (Sophie Bennett)

In view of the cover I was probably not inclined to read it. But my boss said that there should be good, and pressed it into my hand.
What can I say. I was surprised absolutely positive. What the blurb sounded forth quite banal and the rather cheesy cover design had turned out to be a successful and exciting story that appeals to a wider audience, than to assume at first glance.
One has not even interested in fashion to find in the book as to which one is particularly concentrated.
History: Nonie loves fashion and handicrafts itself also like the craziest outfits. Her friend Jenny has just lands a starring role in a Hollywood film. Edie, the third member, is committed to all sorts of aid projects and would like the world just want to make a better place.
occurs at some point, the twelve year old, crow 'in their lives. A child refugee from Uganda, whose family still live there must be some. She wears strange clothes, and obviously has an amazing talent when it comes to Fashion Design. Together, the three friends then crows promote talent, ensure that space and materials are available and they finally sign on to a big competition.

As discussed at the beginning of the story of how happy Nonie join the said competition would be, I had real fears that it is a typical underdog story in which Nonie then just join in all circumstances, despite there and will win. That they realize instead that it has no great talent to design fashion, and in time realize that they otherwise can do a lot better (which incidentally also makes it more fun) I was so relieved. And that crow just not easy because their talent as this simply by rushing, but are struggling just to the side with very different concerns and needs have - from their childhood with just a few, what little you get served up to is hard enough. Also, Jenny and Edie come naturally not too short.
One could say that but everything is totally implausible. And if it is written so that it comes across credible. The people who found work, real and alive, the sources that the girls open up for those substances and the like do not work too far-fetched, but fall under the category of vitamin B and I liked the end in any case because it has surprised me again ^ ^

71st Prince life (Corien Botman)

Charlie Prins lived happily with his family in a houseboat. One day his grandfather dies, he leaves a lot of postcode lottery . That he does with this lot a huge win, Charlie gets first do not correct because he is still busy to grieve in their own way to his grandpa.
After the gain is known then, the house boat from all kinds, new friends' and of course the press besieged. So the family followed the Council to withdraw the first time in a hotel, a luxurious hotel, where they will be undisturbed. His school friend Tara finds this step a little extreme, but believe that money makes you happy, it can not be dissuaded. Charlie is there a different opinion, except for Tara suddenly treat him any different. His parents also behaving oddly. The father spends all her time at home around - why should he go to work even if he has enough money - and is transparent gran from day to day. The relationship with the mother suffers from the course. Charlie wants
not that the marriage of his parents is going down the drain, and certainly he does not want a permanently bad-tempered father, who sits just in front of the telly, and not a bit more for the interest, which it earlier ago has always been fun. So Charlie decides that money and so far it must disappear purchased luxury junk. Fortunately, he has since the possibility to contact a young burglar ...

Yikes, I just noticed that the book has not even came out. There's only February, but what the hell, is not so long back.
I liked the theme is well implemented, and the characters all act to understand.

72nd Who knuffelt with Paulie? (David Melling)

A great picture book \u0026lt;3
Paulie is a bear just waking from its winter sleep. CRUSH Now he wants and leaves his cave. He knuffelt with a rock, because the best Knuffel are around - but feels so very great is not at all. Even the great Knuffel - a tree - is not quite right. Whether embraced now top, middle or bottom. The sheep defend themselves, the rabbit actually has something to do better, but still is so cute, then Paulie to bring, where they can be sure CRUSH satisfactory.

The original title is still great. Hugless Douglas ^ ^
The images are quite to my taste, slightly comic way and the color also tells me - not too gaudy but beautiful strong. At the end there is a small picture gallery of different Knuffelarten, such as the Gänsemarschknuffel or go-no-way-Knuffel ^ ^

Books 2010 - a kind of hell of a long list

; Although I actually had less free time than last year, I read in 2010 even more. For that I less then watched movies and spent less time in forums. As much as I'm reading, I must say that I am slightly tired but then towards the end, but the addiction would not let me stop until the year was over (the last book I actually have a few minutes before midnight on New Year's finished xD)

But this year I have not even started and no book, although I have some interesting are back here. But I'm still over-saturated, and must be the first time to digest everything ready before I can start again.



January 1st The Rotoffels and the Beast (Catherine cooling)


A first reading book I had as a child once borrowed from the library. A few more years, it occurred to me again, and end of 09 times I've actually found a copy of which was for sale. The
Rotoffels, which are small, potato-like tuber being without legs, but instead equipped with a lot of hands and eyes. As the name suggests, they are also red. The great family of which the story is alive, quite undisturbed in the woods, and sat through all sorts of what is normal for them. They collect acorns, so the Rotoffelmama can wash them take advantage of excellent food, never, because the dirt by their mode of locomotion (they roll) in any case falls right back and play various games. In between, they still receive relatives visit from the snooty spin Offele (thin potato creature with long, spidery arms) which they eat up all the food supplies, this place at all that nagging, and finally move off again, after not a single acorn is left. The
Rotoffelkinder set off, therefore, to gather more supplies, and take it to a terrible monster. Barely escaped to tell them it home, and always sleeping grandfather told unintelligible between his nap by a means to turn invisible. With dandelions go from here, but no one has a recipe. From then boiled Mama Rotoffel So anything from dandelion, no child should get out alone, and it is desperately trying to wake the great-grandfather again.

Even at my age, I liked the book even as before already. Written funny, offers exciting episodes, and the solution at the end is nice too ^ ^

second Uncle Montague's tales of horror (Chris Priestley)

Before it was published in German, we are a reading copy in the store. The cover caught my equal to - illustrations by David Roberts, whose pictures I liked even by Philip Ardagh Eddie Dickens trilogy - and the synopsis sounded tempting.
It is scary to food, as I have also read as a child. The first and last chapter consists of basic story: Edgar visited in his holidays always happy Uncle Montague, who lives in a big house with servants Franz. Edgar always there listening like the horror stories told by his great-uncle to him. Each story is based on an object which Montague has displayed in his office.
The stories are short, sometimes brutal, sometimes subtly creepy. At the end of each chapter to go Edgar Montague and a few words about the story.

I found the book so successful that I have ordered directly after reading the English edition of See also paragraph 37 ^ ^

third Sperm & Egg - a love story (Ryan Boudinot)

When I typed my books list, I was surprised to find the track on it. The book had in fact adopted really completely out of my memory. What's not to say that it was bad. On a bad book, I could remember better safe because I would have annoyed me, having read it, but somehow this was so mediocre and uninteresting that I was not even on the basis of Title could remember the story. Short
future reference of the content then ensures the very weak memory.
It's about Kat and Cedar, who went to school together. Years later, Kat is a writer, Cedar and asks for his permission to publish her latest book as to be able to because he is playing a major role.
The only Amazon review this: click

4th Codeword Risk: The Night of the Vampire (Michael Borlik)

risk of code words I had already read a book last year, albeit from a different author. The story here is after the other but nothing. Featuring the book again with hard questions at the end of a chapter and info boxes on the topic.
also some exciting reading fare for beginning readers, or read bad reason students would be deterred by too small a font.

5th Mirror Cape - had caught in the realm of the images (Mike Wilks)

2008 I read this first part of a trilogy already. So I then took so long until I've risen once part two, I wanted to refresh my memory again.
goes to content's as long: click
the second reading, I found it still as good as the first time, my brother and I have been infected and so

6th Mirror Cape - hazard from the realm of the images (Mike Wilks)

the sequel. Ludo, it is now well again and Wren was taken as the first female apprentice. The villains from part one were exiled to Cape Mirror and really could not everything be better. After all, should Mel, Ludo and Wren even help to shape the ceiling in the palace of the mind.
As there Mel overhears a conversation in which there is apparently a conspiracy, the three friends experience but again a lot. Ambrosius Blenk Mels Belauschnis want to know anything and thinks he has probably interrogated, or exaggeration, and so will the children had no choice but to do it again themselves to work. Together they find out who is behind the bad idea to get chimeras from the images in the real world, and travel back through many different works. At Bizarrilität it surpasses even the previous, because more imagery to be explored. Among other things, they learn to "Nowhere" know, a bleak, gray landscape, where apparently no one is on the way - only the footprints are evidence of life. There they encounter the thief "Magpie" for the it is still important. Furthermore, they get to "Nephonia, take a cloud world, where they on a cloud-maker and also learn about Morpho-King M, which consists entirely of insects. Of course you also meet some old acquaintances villains, which turns out very interesting - so Mel accidentally ends up in the middle of Groot's thoughts, which is not really nice is.

When the third volume comes out, I will definitely read the first two again to get back reinzufinden. They are definitely good enough. There
Part 1 is already in paperback, Part 2 will follow in February, in case anyone is interested, but not want to spend as much



February 7th The labyrinth of words (Marie-Sabine Roger)


One of the best books I have read 2010th
Germain is a slightly under-exposed big guy who lives with over 40 years with his mother. One day, when he wants to include his "pigeons in the park, sits an old lady on his bench. The two start talking and gradually they become friends. Margueritte talks normally with him, he reads from several popular books before (the start makes Camus Plague) and to listen to him when he has something to say. Eventually, she gives him a dictionary, by which you can virtually travel '. Finally, every word out again to another. After a while he even begins to read, so his buddy, which it only as the illiterate simpletons know, very amazed.
is now the book has film, starring Gérard Depardieu in the lead role. If the movie is even half as good as the book he'll like it.
Trailer: www.youtube.com / watch

8th Tell no one [No One] (Harlan Coben)

Eight years ago, that Dr. David Beck and his wife were attacked by a serial killer. His wife disappeared without a trace, Beck himself was left for dead.
Now he gets a sudden a mysterious e-mail, their contents show that his wife is still alive. Of course he wants to find them, but other people want to prevent just that. So he gets into a not so good location, will soon be even suspected by the police and hunted, also has a rich, influential family in the neck, which apparently wants to get rid of him and must therefore spend a favor to a shady gangsters he owes.

I must say that I have forgotten exactly how the story ends. It was always exciting, but not really innovative. If the book is not rumgelegen with my stepmother, I would certainly not read. Waste of time, it was not, but there are better Thriller out there

9th Salvador and the Club of outrageous requests (Alberto Torres Blandina)

A nice little book full of short anecdotes that are sometimes taken up again in later chapters. Salvador is a cleaner in an airport, and thus gets all kinds of what he says then various people. The most interesting point is probably the narrative. As a reader, one feels a little, as we eavesdrop Salvador and not closer to each specific party, where one hears only Salvador. Meaning, it reads a bit like a telephone conversation after another xD

10th Wild Ride Through the Night (Walter Moers)

in January after one has put up the forum a thread about this, I feel like right, the read again. When I leave, I had finally got the book back between the fingers - my brother had to be borrowed together with all other Moers novels.
Although the story here not even play in Zamonien, Moers build another one of many bizarre moments that can only please me. The idea to take some pictures and to write a story that I think was done particularly well implemented
I was speaking of the horse and the Virgin I also freed class

11th The sticking point (Mark Haddon)

George Hall is retiring, and around it goes around all down the drain. His wife has an affair with his former colleagues, he then caught even with his wife in his own bed. Son Jamie is gay, and has just a few relationship issues that are no better than he fails to invite his friend Tony to the wedding of his sister. This wedding in turn also means a hassle for everyone. Finally, it was Katie's first husband was already a disaster and Ray, it is new, no one really accepted. Katie itself is not even sure if she loves him now, or just want to marry him because he was so wonderful cope with her son is.
midst of all the chaos George slowly losing his mind and unnoticed, a harmless eczema holds for cancer and slipping into a depression, which he holds of course as much as possible secret - one wants anyone to harass. The
Kuzbeschreibung on here sums up the whole aptly: "The way these damaged people fall apart - and come together - as a family is the true subject of Mark Haddon's disturbing yet very funny portrait of a dignified one trying to go insane politely. "

When I read it, it was not long until I was through. Written funny and exciting in terms of individual storylines. Some may find the book is not good because it is so different than "Super Good Days or The strange world of Christopher Boone," I can not understand now. Just because it comes from the same authors, but the content must not be similar, and that the story not so mad now offers a lot of depth, I find not bad. A book I will eventually talk, and has "The sticking point" made it really good ^ ^

12th Jacob the Super Kicker (Rüdiger Bertram)

Yet another first reading book. Jacob loves to play football, and when he moves to a top club is a dream come true. Unfortunately, he makes life difficult for strikers Tom. The first game of course everything will be fine, because Jacob can now show what it can do.

Nice story, in large print for beginning readers and football fans. Meanwhile, there is a sequel.

13th but can be anyone he wants (Kirsten Boie)

also intended for beginning readers. The teachers of two schools, who know from the study since To organize the students write each other letters. Although it initially looks, could not as a girl every girl and every boy to write a boy who appears in the distribution of the letters but everything to be working well.
Robin, who like to ride, like ballet, pink and finds great to get as a partner Alex. Alex likes football and has a pretty messy handwriting.
Robin is surprised by the strange So Alex, while Alex is surprised at the strange Robin.
When the classes are to visit each other is, of course clear why the other is not typical of their own sex, it makes friends but still on and everything will be fine.

for first graders Could be quite funny, although I can well imagine that the figure it out quickly what is going on ^ ^

14th Wolverine: Origin (Authors: Paul Jenkins, Bill Jemas, Joe Quesada, Illustrators: Adam Kubert, Richard Isanove)

Tjo, what can I say this big. Comics to read as I feel so hard, because the images will also be appreciated, and I slowed down the reading. Nevertheless, I introduce myself one or the other like to heart, and very rarely will even itself once bought something. So here. After I was in the cinema and the film was good then, I have done so more or less a blind purchase. The story is not what you get to see the movie. Instead, the child is treated in some detail, and we accompany you to the Logan Holzfällerdor. A couple of things that are both in the comic as addressed in the film are contradictory, or do not match exactly, but I like both versions ^ ^
The pictures are also really great. There is almost every single panel and a small painting differs are not stylistically from the covers.

15th Goddess of Heaven (Christopher Moore)

Tucker Case, the pilot was aware that I have made the foolish angel appeared, here for the first time. He flies the private plane of a very rich woman who is drunk and goes, one evening in the company of a prostitute into the cockpit starts to fly and of course, builds a crash landing, during which he also injured still really nasty.
When he is healthy enough to be discharged from the hospital, it must be quickly out of the dust out of trouble, and finds even a suspiciously lucrative Job on a small island. He has to fly only now and then a resident physician around, or even just pick up something, and it may be the remaining time to go over well.
that on the island of what is rotten, and the doctor is interested not only to supply the cannibals who live there medicine, Tucker realize then at some point. Together with Kimi, a transvestite, he has picked up on his journey, and his bat Roberto trying to figure out what has to hide the doctor. Besides, he must still grapple with the wife of the doctor who was the high priestess of the natives under their thumb, try not eaten by cannibals last unconverted become, and remain as clear in my head to be poking around in the not discovered by the guards, or caught from the mines on the beach.

As before all the books by Moore I also liked the good again. However, it is in places - especially in the description of the accident at the start to read really disgusting.

16th Mariella mermaid - the enchanted cup (Sue Mongredien)

time again what the first reader. The six-part series revolves around a girl needs that go with his parents to her grandmother to the sea. As a tourist destination because they think it would be great but that they had to leave their friends is, of course, stupid.
From Grandma gets her a necklace with a given piece of shell as a pendant, and suddenly everything is different at night. Mariella is a magical mermaid and experienced a lot in the underwater kingdom Aquaris. When she learns that an evil mermaid the mermaid that she met her shell necklaces stole, she sets out to look after, the magic to bring back to Aquaris.

Although the cover of the whole series look quite cheesy and girly, you should not be fooled . Let Of course, also happens pink glitter magic when Mario turns and so on, but the story is not really boring and uneventful. As an opponent then occurs even a giant squid and it gets really dangerous.
If you want to bring small children to read, that would be suitable in any case. (For boys, there is an alternative then the Beast Quest series, which runs on a similar pattern of content and currently has already fourteen volumes)

17th Football - and the world with kick (Andreas Schlüter, Irene Margil)

Although this is the third in a row, but can also be read well without prior knowledge.
Niklas played awfully like soccer, so he applied at once, as a U12-Wetmeisterschaft is organized and a team to be formed. Of course, he manages to be included and so the journey to Italy, England, Brazil, Spain, South Africa, Cameroon, Japan, Germany and Italy will compete against each other. One of the Italian players he already knows of a match (which was held in the second volume) and Niklas' lucky charm, a rubber Gecko is also included.

written Exciting and funny, one can recommend without hesitation football fans aged 8.



March 18th The day that I was cool (Juma Kliebenstein)


Martin is chubby, unathletic and contributes to it all, even a pair of glasses. The "Fabfive," the cool in his class pester him, therefore, where they can. Only when Karli is new to the school, Martin finally has an ally, for whose first appearance is so embarrassed that he has no chance to make friends with anyone else. Quick stellen die Beiden fest, dass sie in vielen Dingen den gleichen Geschmack haben. So hören sie zum Beispiel lieber Rockmusik als HipHop, wie die angesagten Kinder der Klasse.
Vor den Ferien wollen sie den „FabFive“ noch gemeinsam einen Streich spielen, dabei geht allerdings so ziemlich alles schief. Martin und Karli werden erwischt, und zur Strafe müssen sie zusammen mit Martins Vater und seinem Opa zum Campingurlaub gehen. GameBoy und andere elektronische Unterhaltungsmittel sind ihnen dabei untersagt, also bleibt ihnen nichts anderes übrig, als ihre Liste abzuarbeiten, auf der sie Maßnahmen notiert haben, die ihnen dabei helfen sollen, cool zu werden.
Auf dem Campingplatz Stella Luna and then they learn to know, the wildest girls far and wide, making music with their brothers and stumble then also of Luke, the cool of the "Fabfive" who actually are doing somewhere else leave should.

Juma Kliebenstein writes really funny, the story does not need a moral sledgehammer and the "evil" are just people with their own problems and uncertainties. From 10 to recommend, you can just as easily be read by girls and boys.

19th Top Secret 1 - The agent (Robert Muchamore)

James Choke is 11 years old, and did not necessarily easy. His mother is very overweight, almost never moves away from her chair, and forward from there, a small business. More precisely sends thieves targeted the mouth, and anxious to order basically anything you want. Her husband is an asshole and treated according to James bad. His little sister is also not better. In school, James
gets into trouble more often. As one classmate insulted his mother, he pushes her against the wall, it remains at a nail protruding hang and tear on the face. James flies so from the school.
Before he comes to confessing that his mother is also dead already, James enters the home and his sister has to stay with her stepfather. In home
is James soon discovered by someone who makes sure that he is recruited to CHERUB. A secret organization that works with MI5 and children formed as agents. Who charged as criminals eventually with the fact that the classmate of their own child installs bugs in the house, copied important documents or anything else does in that direction.
James Adams gets the new surname after his basic training and may break even on a mission. Terrorists are plotting to attack by viruses have.

If you look through only reads the summary, one could easily get the idea that the book is totally unrealistic and should be level action-adventure for boys. However, here lies more but behind it, the young agents are no mini-James Bond. Instead they are just well-trained, physically-challenged children who are undercover as normal children would be removed where they are needed. That the organization is secret, is also done and the bad guys know at the end do not now what was her fault, not to mention that the nice friends of their children after a while unfortunately have to move again, behind . Insert Linguistically
can be written simply read the books by younger, but as it is received but sometimes quite brutally, it is rather not for the faint-hearted.

20th The world as we know it (Susan Beth Pfeffer)

teenager Miranda lives with her mother and brothers in a small American town. As it is predicted that an asteroid impact into the moon, will they go, just like all others on the road to get the thing to look at. First, even cheered, finally saw the real from spectacular. But then some people a bit queasy. Because the moon is suddenly somehow so close. Or not?
overnight change many things, first slowly, now you can not ignore it anymore. The tide goes crazy, near the coast, there are floods. Volcanoes are active again, followed by clouds of ash. In addition, falls more and more from the stream. In the beginning there is the opportunity to search online death lists for relatives, but soon the Internet as well as the power is completely gone. The Post does a little bit longer, but each Day a little unreliable. Eating to Miranda and her family have bought stocks at the very beginning - on the run on the supermarkets at some point there was a full package prices per car. The mother has not let it take to get wool clothing - ugly, but warm. And what was Miranda at the beginning or embarrassing, they can soon be grateful when they do not freeze in winter.

An exciting dystopia. Because the whole story is written as a diary of Miranda, it seems all the better. We know as little as what's going on out there, that gets, such as contacts with other people less and less to be any fights only for himself, and suffers, as they have to eat less and less, and then also get sick. A few things that have bothered me in reading were, in retrospect really fit, just because it just from Miranda's point of view, written, and she just does not have all so many thoughts.
The end came suddenly, and fell a little to me personally a bit too positive, but it is also open enough that you can imagine that it just is not quite over.

21st I, Elias (Luca Bloom)

Elias is 15, not popular, not unpopular and still a virgin. That would be the summary. Especially not much has happened in the book, it's just to young people who go to school, partying, falling in love, bollocks and so on. Reads authentic, Elias is narrated beautifully ironic, and the end is just right.
Nice short read for in between.

22nd The silence after that (Katrina Stehle)

Sophia and Uli are twins, one heart and one mind, make it all together. Until they have eventually drifted apart. Uli no longer cares about them, depends to a clique of the Sophia no one knows. One day he has a fatal motorcycle accident, is more accurately thought that he deliberately drove into a wall.
The mother is depressed, the father is talking to anyone, Sophia's older sister feels to make a perfect world and Sophia itself (rightly) left alone. To somehow cope with the matter and Uli to be closer again, they searched his room and closes finally even his old gang.

what was the story, I have forgotten now, but it was good anyway.

24th Alone in the Wilderness (Gary Paulsen)

Brian is child of divorce. He lives with his mother, his father, he does not see very often. Of course he's happy, then, as it is to be flown in a small private plane to his father. The new ax, which he has been given for the visit, he proudly wears on a belt, then it can start!. The pilot is a friendly guy who sometimes even Brian can drive myself, but then he suddenly collapses. Brian it is at this level, divert the plane from the trees and is lucky to have a lake, where he will attempt an emergency landing. The plane crashes into too steep, the cockpit windshield smashed, water penetrates and the machine slowly sinks. Brian manages to get out just yet and with luck to swim ashore.
When he has somewhat relaxed and the first distress under control, he begins to build a camp for the night.
in the forest alone, he experienced a lot. In part, he's lucky, then bad luck, but he always manages to survive. The encounter with a bear, he is without problems, an attacking and a defending one moose porcupine provide for setbacks, however.

A credible written adventure novel in which the main character is not all made it too easy.
that Brian will be displayed before the winter was, however, criticized by many readers, so Gary Paulsen wrote after the actual continuation of "The River" is a third part. "Brian's Winter" set shortly before its summer life, and introduces the story differently.

25th The river (Gary Paulsen)

Two years after Brian survived the plane crash and a few months in the wilderness, the media are finally tired of the story. But now there's no rest for him. Psychologists, and the life coach for the government want him to watch a reenactment of his situation, to bring soldiers closer to his abilities. After much consideration, he finally agrees and leaves with psychologist Derek settle on a lake in the woods. Stocks and too many tools denied Brian, because he knows when it is not with the food goes well, they are weak, and go to the emergency camp. Thus, the experiment would be invalid because the problem was not real.
Unfortunately, they both fall shortly after arriving in a violent storm, which damaged the radio and Derek gets hurt. From the plane Brian
has seen a river that flows through the lake more or less. Since it can issue no emergency, and it takes too long until the contact people have to assume that something is wrong (the last control message was already on the first, then Brian and Derek had a few Their rest days), Brian decides to build a raft, and Derek down the river down.

Much thinner than the first volume of the history but not become less exciting.

26th Colony (JA Henderson)

1980, USA, California, somewhere in the desert. A pregnant woman runs away with a young person in the car of the soldiers who were after just behind them. The car, the woman, the boy. All three come from a top-secret military research station on the desert floor. Only the woman, Louise and the boy, Dan survived the disaster, which occurred has occurred there. Both do not know why.
She takes him up to his house, where she sends him away.

1994th Louise lives with her children not to be found around in a trailer park. Another disaster is about to grow slowly.

2009, Scotland. Apathy Amazon Walton lives with her single mother, never very long in one place. On her 15th Birthday, she finally learns why. Her father is a mass murderer DB Salty and themselves with dangerous pathogens in itself, so several people are after her.
at the same time, Kirk Fallen Iceland. Gene, Poppy Millar and live with a few other children and their parents on a secluded Island. They are part of a project that is supposed to investigate only this small society that is largely self-catering on the island. That's not entirely true, remember the three young people soon and make an investigation.

These three levels of time, and the various people and places are gradually more and more intertwined until the end finally an overall picture emerges that is really successful. The narrative style makes it very interesting, so you always get back the necessary chunks of information, and can do some thinking to do so. The story itself is written very exciting invites you to follow the arguments , and has for my taste very fitting end. The characters are all interesting, from the sociopaths of line employees, young people who do not know what's going to obsessed researchers.
A really successful thriller for young people and adults. Younger the fingers should be rather more of it, but because it is very many deaths and much violence.

28 (J. H. Brennan.) Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency [The electric monk] (Douglas Adams)

Strictly speaking I have not read, and it was not an audio book, but a radio play. Which I liked for that reason alone, because Billy Boyd said a main role, and I love his Scottish accent
Quote:
Richard MacDuff is working as a programmer for a successful software company and considers himself one of the most normal people of the world - until his life one day come to a most remarkable way off course begins. His newly purchased sofa to remain in a common physical laws completely impossible position stuck on the landing. The relationship to his girlfriend, Susan seems to be close to collapse. To make matters worse, even Susan's brother is murdered under mysterious circumstances, and the suspicion falls on Richard.

A case for Dirk Gently, Richard's former college friend who has built up to be accompanied by ominous circumstances farewell to the university an existence as a private investigator. Although Gentlys specialty seems more in tracking down the runaway cats eccentric old ladies to exist, he believes, can help to Richard.

As so often when I have not read even a little, and as so often with it if it still is by Douglas Adams, I can no longer remember very well. What I know is that I - as yet all I read of Adam - was great and that I am the book also directly have not bought, so then at even read something more may hang. Dirk Gently
I already knew from the second novel I had read some time ago, and in the first story there are plenty of bizarre situations, you want to be mastered. Well worth reading for those who can laugh at a story that less interdependence, but more abstruse ideas poses ^ ^

29th An Unfinished Life (Jeannette Walls)

By Jeanette Walls I have already read the first novel "The Glass Castle," an autobiographical History, the earliest of their memory extended to the beginning as a writer.
Her second book is now by her grandmother, who grew up under circumstances no less interesting. Lily Casey was born on the West Texas ranch, there had to help out wherever it was only refused steadfastly to be a lady, and marry, and eventually moved as a teenager going on her own horse for a teacher to be. For many years it was never in one spot, she moved from school to minke minke school, ended up times in the city, worked in factories and smuggled alcohol, married a shady types, rode wild horses and the like.
A rich blend of biographical and fictional elements, with a very sympathetic protagonist.

30th Survival (SA Bodeen)

Eli lives in six years with his family in a bunker. When he was nine years old, the family has fled from a nuclear attack on the United States. The wealthy father had provided, leaving a comparatively luxurious bunker build, and inventories can create for several years. What Eli has not been processed to date: his twin brother Eddy and her grandmother have failed and stayed outside.
as Eli is now 15, are at once the food supply scarce and Eli are increasingly at odds with his father - who seems to have one or the other secret.

The story runs very quietly and is initially concentrating on the problems that arise close to each other by squatting over the years. Flashbacks to the time before the bunkers are scattered over again, and so from about the half of it will be more glaring.
spoiler

All in all, an exciting thriller-drama mix that you can do to keep quiet times.

31st The secret of Summer Stone - the fearless Four (Gitty Daneshvari)

Maddie extreme fear of all insects. So pronounced that they bee without clothing and insect repellent goes nowhere. Theo must always make sure that his family's doing well - as soon as he is out of sight, will be called and asked. Lulu has claustrophobia, and the versatile athlete Garrison afraid of water so that swimming career is impossible.
Fortunately for the four are located in a forest to the Phobienasium.Versteckt here under the direction of the curious Mrs Wellington fears are healed. Mrs Wellington that seems not to have even their marbles, their servants also Schmidty little to inspire confidence has an obscure lawyer named Munch Hauser, the school will tear under the nail, helps the children first, of course, not a bit when fighting their phobias.
When Mrs Wellington but then suddenly dead on the ground, tearing the four students together, and go into the matter.

The author is indeed American, but the content of the book looks more typically British. The figures that appear there so could a book by Roald Dahl and Philip Ardagh be born, so are the bizarre part. An exciting and very funny story is quite short chapters told - as the titles are also all great. Above each chapter is "Everyone is afraid of something" followed by a phobia (technical term plus explanation)
I thought it was very successful and who exaggerated characters and black humor like, you can give the book a chance ^ ^

32nd The curious incident of the dog in the night time [Super Good Days or The strange world of Christopher Boone] (Mark Haddon)

Christopher is autistic and lives with his father. One day the neighbor's dog impaled with a pitchfork in the front yard and found Christopher Decides to establish. What he gets it by and by, however, has less to do with the dog than to himself and his family. All sorts of secrets are revealed, which can hardly cope Christopher. Finally, it is dramatic, and then all will be well.

Joa. Had read the book so ever in German, and was now in an English edition. That it is written from Christopher's point of view, it's interesting, but it can be annoying sometimes fairly.
After I now know of two books by Haddon, I can say: "The sticking point," I liked better. May well lie at the other humor.

33rd The wild Chick (Thomas Schmid)

Lilly, Bob and Very are the wild chickens. A band without a headquarters, and so without any adventurous experiences. But at least they have ever enemies: Ole, Little and Mitch, also known as the olm, which are the chicks rather ridiculous. But then the girls get
of sprat and other wild fowl given a treasure chest and suddenly roll over the events.
An old house boat would be perfect as a band quarters, a berth would be no problem. Only the owner is at right angles. When she then also the abused stealing dog complicates everything. But in times of need, the olm chicks are naturally in the wild and the happy ending is not far.

from the wild chickens I have read any book, but after all, seen two of the films. If it goes after that, the chicks are worthy replacements for young readers. Thomas Schmid ("Stupid hat!") Writes simple but exciting and unlike Mrs. Funke (I am told), the word "ironically" Neither does this overused

34. Shimmer (Ingrid Law)

Mississippi Beaumont called Mibs, will soon be thirteen. Usually, the thirteenth birthdays are celebrated in their family in the small circle as the children get at that age their "glow." The luster is a special gift. Grandpa Bomba, for example, can be created to move country, or just shake. Dollop grandmother has collected during his lifetime radio waves in jars. Mibs' big brother Rocket controlled electricity, fish may be it rain or storm and mother Jenny is in everything she does perfectly. Really in all. If she makes a mistake, correct
Before Mibs but her birthday, her father a victim of a car accident and is rushed to the hospital comatose. Jenny Rocket and drive there, MIBs and the other children stay with Grandpa and powered by Rose Mary Meeks, wife of the local parish priest.
creeps After a few minor annoyances Mibs in the bus representative of a Bible, hoping that he was going into the city where the hospital is because she hopes to be able to awaken her father. But Fish and Samson (her little brother) and the two pastors children Will and his sister Bobbi join her. The representative, she discovers Will and Bobbi noted that the Beaumont children are somehow different, and they are also still looking to be missing from the police. Among all the chaos Mibs finds out what exactly their luster, the kids are friends with each other on, and after a real odyssey, they end up still in the hospital.

happened in this very thin book a lot and that's all classes. Flashback to the late grandmother, the withdrawal from the school as soon as the thirteenth birthday is coming (after all the glitter could indeed be something dangerous), the despair, nothing to do for the father to can. Come over all authentic, the characters are mostly likeable. Basically, the Beaumonts are ordinary people. Or as the blurb says, like everyone else, that is something very special.
I'm glad in retrospect to have read the book, although the cover is not just appealing to me worked. (Where you at the latest after reading noted how fitting it is yet)

35th The Catcher in the Rye [The Catcher in the Rye] (JD Salinger)

The world is bad and Holden Caulfield us about it. Or so the content can be succinctly reflect.
The story is about two days (and nights), with always enough happening (or is told) that you do not get bored. Holden is once again expelled from school, and to wait instead of the Christmas holidays, or go home, he spends time in the city.

I read the book primarily because it is the favorite book of my girlfriend. I liked it anyway Holden me all the time remembered my brother who was at that age like it (and a bit of my friend who also twice as old nor can grumble about everything and everyone)

36. The Quigleys very large (Simon Mason)

The first part ("The Quigleys"), I have not read, but that is not important in the case. The Quigleys are a family of four, consisting of Dad, Mom, Will and Lucy. Fits to the books are also made up of four parts, so that each family member once played the leading role. In this volume, it is this:
dad has let slip Wills budgie, and is trying by all means to recapture him.
Mama has learned the wisdom teeth get, but for the school party she goes anyway. There, they could also have a lot of fun if your family not permanently would urge that they must protect themselves.
Will forgot his jacket in the school. Fortunately, the door is still open, and he goes in, but when he finally wants to go home, all outputs are completed.
Lucy "verkuppelt" on vacation all their family members with new friends, only it is initially left empty-handed.

There are now four volumes of the Quigleys, the third German to be published in June. The stories are entertaining and not just for the target audience (eight to nine years of primary school students) suitable

37th Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror [Uncle Montague's tales of horror] (Chris Priestley)

see paragraph 2, only this time in English. Linguistically not as easy as other English books, I know, which may be due probably to the many old-fashioned expressions should.

38th Kenny & the Dragon [Kenny and the Dragon] (Tony DiTerlizzi)

Kenny the Rabbit lives with his parents on a more isolated farm. He is a bookworm, a nerd, a nerd and so well with George, the local bookstore owner friends. As a A dragon on a field day his parents settle down, dares Kenny is there to even be considered the matter. Quickly realize that Graham is a pacifist fine spirit, and the two friends are at.
Too bad that the residents of Round Brook do not have dragons in their area and bring the king his best dragon slayer out of retirement to solve the problem.

When we had the German version in the store, I was very much raised the cover, because Toni DiTerlizzis drawing style suits me perfectly. The blurb sounded good, and as a classmate read that for English lessons, I did the same to me on loan.
Ein kindgerechtes Buch, das man auch bedenkenlos Kleineren vorlesen kann.

39. Kaltes Gift (Nigel McCrery)

Einer meiner Mitschüler kam mit diesem Buch zu mir, drückte es mir in die Hand, und meinte nur „lies es, das wirst du mögen“. Ich hab es gelesen, ich hab es gemocht. So sehr, dass ich jedes Mal, wenn ich jetzt das Taschenbuch bei uns im Regal stehen sehe, überlege, es zu kaufen
Gefallen hat mir vor allem die Erzählweise. Man bekommt als Leser zwei Sichtweisen präsentiert. Einmal folgt man Chief Inspector Mark Lapslie bei seinen Ermittlungen, dann wieder verfolgt man the history of the perpetrator.
pensioner Daisy Wilson is happy to have Violet Chambers a friend who cares about them - until she gives to Daisy one day a poisoned tea that they can die in agony.
Meanwhile, elsewhere will Lapslie, is on sick leave due to his synaesthesia, recalled to the service. The highly decomposed body of Violet Chambers was discovered by accident in a car accident. Missing it was active from anyone, all your accounts are still, the pension is consumed regularly and even her friends have sent postcards for Christmas yet. One might
assume that a thriller is more boring if you as readers know from the beginning, who is the perpetrator. But the culprit here, not the search is really interesting. Many more would like to know who Violet Chambers, now under the name Daisy Wilson way, is really (a prologue invites you to speculate on) and what drives them to do what she does. Moreover, it is also always nice to read, has the problems Lapslie by his illness.
The end was then also mean times beautiful, and I could imagine a film this wonderful ^ ^
