Also good for fans of Shaun Tan - the black and white illustrations are reminiscent of his work. This is the story of a child pianist prodigy Kidglovz who is controlled by his uncle and made to pretend he is only 6 when he is really 9 years old. Kidglovz wears gloves and can play any music but he is starved and kept a prisoner by his "uncle" who also has hands insured for a considerable amount. Enter Shoestring, a tightrope walking boy thief who sees an opportunity to cash in by kidnapping KIdglovz and ransoming him but pretends he is helping the boy pianist escape his cruel life.. When things go horribly wrong at the kidnapping and Kidglovz loses 3 fingers, both Kidglovz and Shoestring are taken into the woods to be shot by the kidnappers. Shoestring's uncle lets them go but they end up lost and frozen in snowdrifts. They are rescued by 3 giant shepherds and have to stay with them over winter in a world populated by magic. This would have been one for younger readers except for the missing fingers part, so I have put it at Year 7. Interesting story and illustrations. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Handschuh-Kid ist ein musikalisches Wunderkind und wird von seinem Onkel ausgebeutet - isoliert von der Welt, nur mit Kontakt zur Klavierlehrerin, die aber auch machtlos ist. Denn die Klavierspielfähigkeiten haben auch etwas mit den magischen Handschuhen zu tun, die Kid Tag und Nacht trägt. Eines Nachts bekommt er Besuch von Shoestring, der seine Seiltänzer-Fähigkeiten auch für Einbrüche nutzt. Und Handschuh-Kid die Möglichkeit bietet, sich zu befreien...
Eine magische Geschichte über Gier, Musik und Freundschaft, mit feinen Bleistiftzeichnungen erzählt. Für mich hatte die Geschichte auch etwas träumerisches, und die beiden müssen gemeinsam durch die Unterwelt, um sich von ihren Zwängen zu befreien.
Sowohl thematisch als auch gestalterisch eine schön erzählte, vielleicht etwas märchenhafte Geschichte. ( )
