Set in a Dickensian world, this novel is a mixture of Oliver Twist, Annie and Jane Eyre with a good tablespoon of celestial fantasy thrown in. I love idea of the Guardian Angels (or GAs) as part of a bureaucracy with branches such as Angel Allocation and the contracts library, all in a lower stratum than the “Arcs” who serve a higher purpose, but don’t always tell the GAs what it is. Tensy is a strong, feisty, charismatic character who fulfils her destiny in a very satisfying manner, and the other children are all very distinct characters. Matron Pluckrose is GREAT - a fantastic vehicle for injection of humour! And Lythia is a scary, disgusting and horrible villain. ( ) Didn't like it! While this book is beautifully presented with short, accessible chapters I found the whole ghost/guardian angel theme irritating. Like Oliver Twist, Annie, Bindi Irwin and many children I've taught, Tensy Farlow was precocious and I could not take to her at all. As for the ending . . . . Let's just say I was glad to finally reach the last page!!! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Dumped in the River Charon, hunted by an accursed river creature and betrayed by the wicked Matron Pluckrose, Tensy Farlow is in mortal danger. Dumped in the River Charon, hunted by an accursed river creature and betrayed by the wicked Matron Pluckrose, Tensy Farlow is in mortal danger.She has no parents.Worse still, she has no guardian angel. When she is thrown into the Home for Mislaid Children - a gloomy orphanage where ravens attack, Watchers hover over your bed, and even the angels cannot be trusted - it seems that all hope is lost. Yet could it be that a plucky, flame-haired orphan with a mysterious past is precisely what this dark world needs? 'deliciously menacing, deliciously funny . . . a glorious read' AUSTRALIAN BOOKSELLERS' ASSOCIATION Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
