The Girl of Ink and Stars: winner of the British Book Awards' Children's Book of the Year, perfect for Christmas

Product Information

This is definitely a book that younger readers will be captivated by but there is plenty to like about this magical tale for people of all ages.

La vicenda narrata è molto simile a quelli di altri romanzi dello stesso genere ma alla fine si è rivelato piuttosto originale e diverso dagli altri, lasciandomi piacevolmente sorpresa e invitandomi a proseguire la lettura. The fate of some characters were really sad surprises but its like you kind of feel happy for them since they went down doing what they believed would redeem themselves from the bad things they have done in the past. Kiran Millwood Hargrave did a brilliant job of keeping her readers hooked and getting them emotionally connected to her characters.

Looking for something different

Il linguaggio è semplice ma non per questo banale ed elementare, anche se è un romanzo fantasy la vicenda sembra quasi realistica, fatta ad eccezione per alcuni casi. This book is absolutely gorgeous from beginning to end. Set in a beautifully imagined parallel world, The Girl of Ink and Stars is Isa’s tale. She is such a strong and fierce character and I’m sure that she will be an inspiration to many young girls. This is truly a tale of strength and love whether it be family or friends both of these themes run throughout this book. The island of Joya and its history comes alive through Isabella's eyes and soon we are thrown into a vortex of events involving demonic beasts and hidden tunnels which until then had been thought to be just bedtime stories. With her lucid and clear style, Hargrave brings life and emotions to the intricacies of map-making quite efficiently. I never thought that this vocation can be as exciting as this.

When I read it, it was quite fast paced and that was one of the main things that kept my attention. I was never bored because there was always something going on. We are all of us products of our surroundings. Each of us carries the map of our lives on our skin, in the way we walk, even in the way we grow. Having lost both her twin brother and her mother, Isabella is left to live in the village of Gromera with her father who has instilled in his daughter a love of maps. So it seems cruel that someone so drawn to exploration is bound to the village alone under the ominous gaze of the governor. It takes a terrible event and the disappearance of her best friend (the governor's daughter) to set Isabella upon a quest which could result in her death and the destruction of the world she holds so dear. The Girl of Ink & Stars maps the journey of a courageous girl who, on her quest to learn the truth behind the legends of her island, may herself become legendary before her adventure concludes.

Il ritmo della narrazione è travolgente, incalzante anche se a tratti molto lento e noioso, rendendoti difficile rimanere concentrati a lungo.
