I really enjoyed this book from the start.It is about Jack a little boy who has moved back to England from Greece. He is staying with his Grandfather and it seems a family tragedy has taken place.The book has lots of magic in it and I was reminded of reading the Narnia series as a child.( although it is not as genius as them!!!)It is the sort of story where the child is at the centre and all these amazing things happen and they just accept them.The illustrations at the start of the book are charming, I always love to see a map of a place at the start of a story!!!It is an adventure to help the trees and I think it would appeal to readers 9 and above, or younger if read to by your parents.I really enjoyed this book and recommend it as a good adventure story set in England and full of magic.......Excellent Catherine criou uma história para todas as idades que fará com que os mais velhos e mais experientes sejam transportados para a época de uma juventude já esquecida. A trama é bem-elaborada e rapidamente os leitores perderão as noções de tempo e espaço. Alguns dos ingredientes que tornam a obra tão especial são o senso de magia e o charme intrínseco à narrativa.Vencedor, em 2010, do prêmio britânico para autores nunca publicados (Brit Writers Awards) ao concorrer com mais de vinte mil candidatos, A Noz de Ouro é o livro ideal para quem procura uma trama repleta de fantasia, espírito e mitologia.“A procura por uma sucessora para J.K. Rowling tem se intensificado, e Catherine Cooper é uma candidata certa.” (The Observer)“A Noz de Ouro terá grande apelo entre os que leram os livros de J.K. Rowling e J.R.R. Tolkien.” (Fantasy Book Review)
What do You think about The Golden Acorn (2009)?
Really enjoyed it. Read it in a day. Moves pretty quickly and I wish I had book 2....
