The Ice Monster: David Walliams

Product Information

In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money. Now Caine delves into the real stories behind the gangs we think we know so well, revealing the hidden realities behind the myths.

David Walliams má schopnosť hlboko do textu zakódovať veľké témy a dokonca aj morálne poučenia, napriek tomu, že na povrchu sa to hemží grganím, smradľavými ponožkami, červíkmi a ľuďmi ako je vedúca sirotinca pani Skysňa alebo šéf bezpečnosti Národného múzea pán Facka.There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit!

Sir Michael Caine knows a thing or two about gangs: whether that’s joining one as a kid, or playing them in movies for over 50 years. It is also littered with brilliant Tony Ross illustrations which also help to break the text up and keep them engaged with the story.David Walliams is at it again and this time he’s brought a Mammoth with him and a supporting cast that are out of this world with crazy brilliance. A chance encounter brings Elsie face to face with the creature and sparks the adventure of a lifetime - from London to the heart of the Arctic! We are delighted to announce that David Walliams’ novel The Ice Monster is the Children’s Fiction Book of the Year!

Since the publication of his ground-breaking first novel, The Boy in the Dress (2008), Walliams has seen unprecedented growth with global sales exceeding 45 million copies, and his books translated into 55 languages. David Walliams hat mich sehr stark an Roald Dahl erinnert, während die Illustrationen von Tony Ross denen Blakes nicht unähnlich sind. A forma como tudo está descrito - desde a cidade à fisionomia das pessoas - faz com que seja bastante fácil ao leitor sentir que é parte da história. The audiobook reflects Rhonda’s own journey and shares the most direct way out for those experiencing hardship and the path to end pain and suffering endured by so many, and it shines a light on a future without anxiety or fear. I first read The Ice Monster last year at school as our class novel, and it was so amazing that I wanted to read it again!

But the true wonderment of The Ice Monster is seeing Elsie discover that she is so very special, that through her dangerous and perilous journey she brings people together, giving people hope who have none and a sense of belonging to those who feel that they don’t belong.
