Cornelia Funke - Böcker

I Monsterhistorier får vi sju korta berättelser om olika, mer eller mindre knasiga monster. Ett monster som sväljer en buss full med skolbarn, ett som länsar ett kylskåp och ett som skrämmer några ungar i ett spöktåg.

En rolig bok med ett uppskattat tema, både att läsa själv eller för att högläsa! Cornelia Funke är en mästare på att skriva fantasy som är lätt att läsa och här har hon själv gjort de härligt färgstarka illustrationerna.

The first instalment in the thrilling Reckless series, from the bestselling author of Inkheart

Jacob has uncovered the doorway to another world, hidden behind a mirror. It is a place of dark magic and enchanted objects, scheming dwarves and fearsome ogres, fairies born from water and men begotten of stone.

Here, he hunts for treasure and seeks adventure in the company of Fox - a beautiful, shapeshifting girl, who guides and guards him.

But now Jacob's younger brother has followed him into the mirrored world, and all that was freedom has turned to fear. Because a deadly curse has been spoken; and Jacob must risk his life to reverse it, before his brother is turned to stone...
