¡Bum!

release date: Apr 19, 2012
¡Bum!
Del autor de El curioso incidente del perro a medianoche, una novela para niños en la que luce de nuevo su personalísima imaginación, cargada de sentido del humor y geniales detalles de fantasía desbordante. De pura casualidad, Jim y su mejor amigo Charlie descubren que dos profesores de su instituto se comunican en un incomprensible idiomasecreto. Presas de la curiosidad, se confabulan para desentrañar un misterio que, día tras día, se vuelve más inquietante. ¿Qué significan palabras como spudvetch o snekkit? ¿Quiénes son los Centinelas? ¿Y por qué, de repente, los ojos del profesor Kidd destellan con una fluorescencia azul? ¿No será que el señor Kidd y la señora Pearce, con su extraño lenguaje codificado, son asaltantes de bancos, espías de una potencia enemiga, o incluso alienígenas que preparan una invasión de la Tierra? En su afán de hallar la respuesta a todo este enigma, ambos amigos acaban viajando al espacio infinito, donde vivirán la aventura más emocionante y peligrosa que nadie habría podido imaginar. Reseñas: «Una aventura divertida y trepidante.» The Bookbag «Una extraordinaria aventura cuya intensidad no decae en ningún momento.» The Irish Examiner «Excelente diversión para los lectores jóvenes.» The Daily Mail «Una alocada aventura, vertiginosa y completamente increíble, aunque nadie dudará de una sola palabra.» Publishers Weekly «Una aventura desternillante.» The Bookseller «Den un ejemplar de este libro a todos los niños de entre 7 y 11 años. ¡Más, por favor!» The School Librarian

The Talking Horse and the Sad Girl and the Village Under the Sea

release date: Jun 04, 2010
The Talking Horse and the Sad Girl and the Village Under the Sea
From the phenomenally bestselling author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time comes Mark Haddon’s first collection of poems. The Talking Horse and the Sad Girl and the Village Under the Sea reveals a poet of great versatility and formal talent. All the gifts so admired in Haddon’s prose are in strong evidence here—the humanity, the dark humour, and the uncanny ventriloquism—but Haddon is also a writer of considerable seriousness, lyric power, and surreal invention. This book will consolidate his reputation as one of the most imaginative writers in contemporary literature.

Boom!

release date: May 11, 2010
Boom!
From the moment that Jimbo and his best friend Charlie bug the staff room and overhear two of their teachers speaking to each other in a secret language, they know that nothing is as it seems. But what does "spudvetch" mean, and why do Mr. Kidd''s eyes flicker with fluroscent blue light when Charlie says it to him? Perhaps the teachers are bank robbers speaking in code; perhaps they''re spies, or aliens. Whatever they are, Jimbo and Charlie know that there is a big adventure on its way: a nuclear-powered, one-hundred-tonne one, with reclining seats and a buffet car. And as it gains speed and begins to spin out of control, it can only end one way — with a BOOM!

Der wunde Punkt
" Eigentlich ist bei den Halls, einer typischen Vorstadtfamilie, alles in bester Ordnung: Die Tochter will zum zweiten Mal heiraten, der Sohn ist schwul und meistens allein, die Mutter geht fremd, und das Familienoberhaupt droht unmittelbar nach Antritt der Rente verrückt zu werden - dies aber auf die sanftmütigste Art der Welt. Als George Hall in der Kabine eines Kaufhauses einen schwarzen Anzug anprobiert, entdeckt er einen dunklen Fleck an seiner Hüfte. Sein erster Gedanke: Krebs. Sein zweiter: Wie bringe ich mich am besten um? Er erleidet einen Blackout, den er vor seiner Familie geheim zu halten versucht. Seine Tochter Katie hat da ein ganz anderes Naturell: Mit immer neuen Lebensentwürfen hält sie die Familie in Atem. Jetzt kündigt sie an, dass sie ein zweites Mal heiraten wird. Als das misstrauisch beäugte Paar bei George und seiner Frau seine Aufwartung macht, erwischt es den Familienvater zum zweiten Mal: Mitten in einer Unterhaltung bekommt er keine Luft mehr, und die Worte zerfallen ihm zu sinnlosen Geräuschkaskaden. Wenig später erwischt er auch noch seine Frau beim Seitensprung. Aber George ist nicht der einzige Hall, der leidet. Sohn Jamie hat endlich mal einen festen Freund, weiss aber nicht, ob er diesen auf die Hochzeit seiner Schwester mitnehmen soll. Er zögert so lange, bis der Geliebte Reissaus nimmt. Was umso absurder ist, als jetzt auch noch Katies Trauung ins Wasser zu fallen droht ... Aus der Perspektive seiner vier schillernden Hauptfiguren entfaltet Mark Haddon ein ebenso komisches wie abgründiges Drama über jene menschliche Institution, die am verlässlichsten Katastrophen produziert und daher für den Fortbestand unserer Gattung unentbehrlich ist: die Zwei-Kinder-Standardfamilie mit Vorstadthaus und Garten. " "Meisterhaft" " (The Independent) lauscht Haddon dem ganz gewöhnlichen Familienwahnsinn ungewöhnliche Töne ab und schürt die Spannung seiner Geschichte wie in einem Kriminalroman. "
