Evie has an amazing talent- she can communicate with animals. In the rainforest, Evie gets the chance to meet her hero- who is not who she expected her to be and is very disheartened as her charity is not able to help the rainforest as they had wished to. But soon, Evie makes a plan to support this charity. Evie’s plan sees her use this skill to support a charity working to save the animals. Evie meets all kinds of beautiful and exotic animals. Teaches children not to worry about fitting in … A suspenseful thriller, with a fine balance of peril and poignancy … Haig is a deeply engaging writer. This book will appeal to a wide range of readers – not just those who worry about fitting in” Very interesting story which also has a powerful message (and adults need to hear it as much as children) about why we need to look after the plant. Also accompanied by really gorgeous illustrations. I need to read Evie and The Animals now. One question... is her name Evie Navarro or Santiago? She’s called both. This is the first book in the adventure series. A young girl called Evie can hear animals' thoughts. After her mum died in the jungle, she and her Dad moved to England to start a new life. Evie's talent is very rare and many like her have died because people have been greedy for such power. Will Evie have the same fate or will she survive?

Class Book Review: ‘Evie and the Animals’ - Tes

This superpower, running through generations of family on her mother’s side, has to be kept top secret because it puts her life in danger, just as her mum’s life had been endangered by the bond-like villain of the piece “Mortimer J Mortimer”. This is a timely novel which has themes around helping save the environment and its animals and will surely appeal to all animal lovers. This character led tightly plotted thriller enables the reader to fully engage with the heart-warming story, whilst also embracing your own difference – making for a very satisfactory reading experience in a chapter book. As time runs out, she must seek help from the animals, and finally DARE TO BE HERSELF? About This Edition ISBN: Het gaat allemaal best prima, totdat Eefje in de dierentuin is en met de dieren uit de dierentuin gaat praten. Na die dag zijn alle dieren in de stad in gevaar, maar niet alleen de dieren, ook de vader van Eefje. Eefje weet wie er achter zit en wil deze mysterieuze man ontmoeten. Dit gaat niet zonder slag of stoot. Matt Haig's books are so incredible. i loved this so much and i loved how he subtly discussed climate change and environmentalism which is super important for kids to be aware of!prin a spune că îmi place foarte mult acest autor și cărțile pe care le-am citit până acum de la el, iar aceasta, chiar dacă este destinată copiilor, nu face excepție. ✨ A talent that can let her HEAR the thoughts of an elephant, and make friends with a dog and a sparrow. Nykyisin on ollut melko hankala selata kirjasomea törmäämättä Matt Haigiin ja erityisesti Keskiyön kirjastoon. Olen itse lukenut häneltä ainoastaan Radleyn perhe - vampyyriromaanin, joten oli ihan mielenkiintoista tarttua hänen uusimpaan lastenkirjaansa "Eevin eläinmaailma" (Aula, 2021). Amazing and utterly beautiful, The Midnight Library is everything you'd expect from the genius storyteller who is Matt Haig" Joanna Cannon Ich kann leider nicht ganz nachvollziehen, warum „Evie und die Macht der Tiere“ derart hochgelobt wurde. Ja, das Buch ist von Matt Haig, und? Die Grundidee ist sehr nett, einfach und nicht neu. Evie kann mit Tieren sprechen bzw. kann sie deren Gedanken hören und sie dann ebenfalls in Gedanken ansprechen, was zumindest den Peinlichkeitsfaktor ein wenig reduziert. Was neu ist, ist dass sie die einzige zu sein scheint, die diese Gabe hat. Ihr Vater hat ihr zudem strengstens verboten, die Gabe auszuleben. Man erfährt auch recht bald warum. Ein böser Mann, der die Gabe auch hat, damit Tiere jedoch nach seinem Willen manipuliert, ist Schuld am Tod von Evies Mutter und will alle Menschen, die diese Gabe ebenfalls haben, vernichten. Wir haben also eine tote Mutter (und weitere Tote, die am Rande erwähnt werden), einen Superbösewicht, viele Geheimnisse und ein paar Klischees (die Direktorin erfüllt etwa alle Klischee einer negativen Schuldirektorin). Die tierischen Nebenfiguren gefielen mit alle, wie auch Evies Großmutter und deren Einstellungen zum Leben.

Eefje en de dieren is een heel mooi verhaal. Een van de boodschappen van het verhaal is dat je jezelf moet durven te zijn en dat is in sommige situaties nog best lastig. Eefje heeft een gave, een talent. En dit talent deelt ze met haar oma. Oma kan ook met dieren praten, maar veel beter dan Eefje. Oma leert Eefje hoe ze om kan gaan met haar gave, maar dat mag eigenlijk niet van haar vader… My new book for children, Evie and the Animals, is out now. It has been illustrated by the wonderful Emily Gravett and she has done an amazing job!I liked how while it tells the story of Evie defeating Mortimer J Mortimer it also had Evie learning facts and in turn told us the facts too. I liked the part when leaf the snake stood up to Mortimer and saved Evie ,granny flora and Santiago (Evie’s dad) Maar Eefje droomt steeds vaker over een oerwoud, een slang en een dreigende manspersoon én ontdekt dat haar grootmoeder eveneens Het Talent heeft. En dan beginnen er dieren te verdwijnen - van drie naamloze fretten tot vuilnisbakkie Pavarotti en hamster Snoesje. En uiteindelijk de hele dierentuin. Eefje móet iets doen...
