Jimbo and Charlie are ordinary school kids in England who overhear two of their teachers talking in a strange language. They investigate further discovering strangers details and putting their lives into danger. I'm not saying it's aliens...but, aliens? Jimbo and his sister Becky have to unite to rescue Charlie on an adventure that takes them out of this world. This book is quirky and fun. It was stupid, insane, suicidal idea. Which makes it quite hard to explain shy I decided to help. I guess it boils down to this. Charlie was my best friend I missed him. And I couldn't think of anything better to do. Really stupid reasons which were never going to impress the police, the headmistress or my parents. Looking back, I reckon this was the moment when my whole life started to go pear-shaped... boom! Plus a half star. I really liked it. I love lot's of things about his children's books from Agent Z and the Penguin from Mars onwards. One is the way the girls and boys are all active agents - things happen to them but they always put a finger, or a fist in to make a difference to the outcome. May or may not work but they go on acting. And also the way he pushes situations beyond normal and into farce. Makes me laugh and cheer the characters on. Boom! is a high-speed, funny science fiction novel for kids by the author of THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME. He writes, "This book was first published in 192 under the title Gridzbi Spudvetch!" It's an easy read, and the first half, when Jimbo Kidd and his friend Charlie discover that two of their teachers speak an alien language, was excellent. The second part of the book, at the Isle of Skye, feels hasty and improbable, as if the author were racing to finish things up somehow. I still enjoyed it and recommend it to kids who like action, science fiction, and humor. However, it is nothing like THE CURIOUS INCIDENT at all, in case you were wondering. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Anche se ©· un ragazzino vivace, a scuola Jim non ©· che sia molto brillante: qualcuno - ma ©· solo la sorella - dice che corre addirittura il rischio di finire in un istituto per bambini ritardati. D'altra parte, non sarebbe male sapere cosa pensano di lui gli insegnanti. Meno male che il suo amico Charlie ha un'idea davvero brillante: basta nascondere un walkie-talkie in sala professori! Detto fatto. I prof arrivano, discutono, se ne vanno. Anzi no, Mr Kidd e Mrs Pearce restano, e una volta soli iniziano a parlare in una strana lingua: sono forse rapinatori di banca che comunicano in codice? o spie? o marziani? I due nascon℗Ơdono un segreto, Jim e Charlie ne sono convinti; e iniziano la loro indagine senza sapere che si stanno mettendo davvero nei guai: Charlie scompare, Jim rischia di essere a sua volta rapito. E a questo punto la storia decolla verso un pianeta misterioso, a 70.000 anni luce dalla Terra. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

A middle-grade adventure with alien imposters. Supposedly reworked in 2007, but felt like a book from the 80s in terms of tired gender politics. Probably pretty engaging for kids of the right age? ( )
