I am a huge Eva Ibbotson fan, and while this book did not disappoint, it wasn't my favorite. This is the last book she wrote before she passed away at the age of 85, so I am very happy she finished it. It is sweet and charming, and like all Eva Ibbotson books, the good characters are very, very good, and the bad characters are so terrible they are almost like cartoon caricatures. My dog lovers at school will love this one, as it is practically an ode to dogs. The dogs in the book are really the stars. They are loyal, funny, loving and heart wrenching. I adored every one of them. I mentioned that this one isn't my favorite by this author, but I did enjoy it. I haven't read all of her books for children (she also writes books for adults that I love - although they are now marketing them for Young Adult instead of adult, and I - and the author - don't agree with that). My favorite of her children's books is definitely Journey to the River Sea , followed closely by Star of Kazan and The Secret of Platform 13 - and yes, that was written before Harry Potter came into existence. I love her writing and her heart and her proclivity for always having good overcome evil. Happy endings abound! Areas of concern: *Terrible parents are depicted. Obviously a parent who would rent a dog for their son's birthday and not tell him that the dog had to be returned are not good parents. They are, in fact, so ridiculous that it doesn't seem real, and at the end they try very hard to change. *Runaway children on their own with a bunch of dogs. *Technically the dogs have been stolen by the children. http://read-me-maybe.blogspot.com nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Henry ist derart entsetzt, dass er sich entschließt, sich Fleck wiederzuholen und nach Northumberland wegzulaufen. Dort leben seine Grosseltern in einer Fischerhütte am Meer. Bei Flecks Befreiung trifft er auf das temperamentvolle Mädchen Pippa, die bei der Gelegenheit gleich vier weitere Hunde freilässt. So beginnt eine tagelange, abenteuerliche Reise, bei der die beiden Kinder und die fünf Hunde auf allerlei ungewöhnliche Menschen treffen: auf Zirkusleute, eine Gruppe von Waisenkindern, einen alten Schäfer, besonders tierliebe Mönche, fiese Kleinganoven und einen schrägen Privatdetektiv. Dabei zeigt sich neben der Hilfsbereitschaft, Freundlichkeit oder Hintertriebenheit von Menschen auch die Natur der einzelnen Hunde, die allesamt sehr verschieden sind.
Das Buch ist sehr leicht und mitreißend zu lesen, dabei oft klischeehaft und überzeichnend in den Eigenheiten der Personen (vor allem der Erwachsenen). Meine zehnjährigen Kinder mochten die Geschichte sehr: sie beginnt zwar traurig, ja beinahe tragisch, wird dann aber spannend, lustig und anrührend. Natürlich geht alles am Ende gut aus - für die Hunde, Pippa, Henry und ihre Familien.
Im Grunde geht es um Vertrauen: was es bedeutet, wo es fehlt und wo man es findet, wie es verspielt wird und wie man es (manchmal) wieder herstellen kann (nicht mit Geld oder Wohlstand). Ein wirklich schönes Buch für Kinder um 10 Jahre (und ihre Eltern). ( )
