An intergalactically awesome tale of celebrating difference, believing in yourself, and the power of friendship. This one was a little hard for me to rate in the end....I think the way this was written using letters was really cool and I haven't seen this in a middle grade before. Also reading this from an adult's perspective was quite funny, especially with the rules and secrets the kids think they have that their parents surely couldn't know about. He says more than 100 jumbled Shakespeare quotes throughout the series, but you’d have to really be looking for them to notice! Last year, a librarian in Wichita, Kansas told me that she’d found 63 Shakespeare quotes in Ronald’s dialogue. FACT #6: In Italy, where my family is from, my dad was always called “La Barba,” which means “the beard.” When I was growing up, his beard always seemed incredibly bold and adventurous to me. The electrifying number one bestselling adventure from the author of The Christmasaurus and The Creakers, Tom Fletcher! NOTE: I read this book in Dutch. I have no clue what the English names for everything is, so I am going to be using the Dutch names.

De Braniebende” is opgebouwd als een soort dagboek, we krijgen maand per maand de briefwisseling tussen het net verhuisde hoofdpersonage Frenkie en zijn achtergebleven beste vriendin Danika voorgeschoteld. Daarin vertelt hij uitgebreid en met jeugdig enthousiasme welke bizarre avonturen (pun intended) die maand heeft beleefd. Het charmante aan de vertelstijl is dat Fletcher erin slaagt om de jeugdige naïviteit en de ongebreidelde fantasie perfect in de verhaallijn te vatten. Het voelt alsof je als lezer in het geheim mag meelezen met de brieven tussen de twee vrienden. The art was fabulous though I did think it was a bit odd how much they differ. You had SUPER detailed and gorgeous art, and more simple but also fun art. Between the two sometimes the characters just looked vastly different which was confusing. I still loved the art, don’t get me wrong, but I think it would be better if it had all been in one style. The electrifying new adventure from bestselling author of The Christmasaurus and The Creakers, Tom Fletcher! However, some of this was a little annoying - in particular the ew girls are gross parts. Meeting the danger gang was so fun and interesting some of the plot line was pretty cool too, there is of course a lot of toilet humor in this one but it wasn't too bad. Fully illustrated by picture book talent Arree Chung, this hilarious, high-action series is a must-have for all adventurers.But everything changes after the storm, when strange green lightning and powerful thunder crash down on the town. From that night on, the kids who live on Franky's street start to change. One by one, they become a little odd. A little unusual. A little... magical.

The Danger Gang by Tom Fletcher, Shane Devries | Waterstones

Meet Frenkie, he just moved to the little town of Bizar (though I guess if one moves from Grijsdorp it is an improvement) and misses his dear friend Dani a lot. We see how he tries to make the best of things and writes letters to his friend Dani. And then a big green poopy stinky storm happens and things get very weird and very bizarre. The story gets more and more magical and silly with each new month and I just LOVE LOVE LOVED it. It may have come over a bit episodic, but I think it wouldn’t have worked in another way given this book takes place over a year. It would just be too big or you would lose tons of story. Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments The Danger Gang is a children’s adventure book written by Tom Fletcher, illustrated by Shane Devries, and published in 2018. It follows the story of a group of children who must save their town from a dangerous villain who has stolen a powerful invention. Wie een boek van Fletcher in handen krijgt, weet dat het niet van de dunste exemplaren zijn. Ook dit keer klopt hij zijn verhaal net onder de 450 pagina’s af. Het grote lettertype, de creatieve bladspiegel en de regelmatige onderbreking van de tekst door de wondermooie zwart-wit illustraties, zorgen er echter voor dat je als lezer in geen tijd het boek hebt uitgelezen. Het taalgebruik is heel laagdrempelig en zal voor de gemiddelde lezer vanaf zo’n acht jaar perfect verteerbaar zijn. Het sterke aan Fletchers schrijfsels is echter dat de bovenleeftijd heel wat verder reikt dan het doorsnee jeugdboek. Zelfs een wat ouder publiek van bijna twintigers en ver daarboven zullen ongetwijfeld smullen van wat hij te vertellen heeft.I did think it was a bit odd to go for branie instead of danger in the Dutch edition. I mean branie is a good choice in the end, but it seems weird to go from danger to daring/brave.
