DNF na strane 100 -- krásne napísaná detská kniha, ale malí čitatelia nebudú čítať ak tam nie je absolútne žiadna akcia ani nič...

Wat een heerlijke avonturenverhaal om bij weg te dromen. Keverjongen is spannend, grappig maar vooral heel erg fijn.

Akcia, napätie a strhujúci dej, za ktorý by sa nemusel hanbiť ani Tom Cruise v Mission Impossible. Parádny záchranný plán, sympatickí mladí hrdinovia, ktorí sa odvážne vrhajú aj do skoro nemožných situácií. A hlavne zástupy a zástupy chrobákov a kadejakej lezúcej hávede, ktorú si (prekvapivo) zamilujete.
Od dokonalosti knihu delí trochu veľa toho nemožného. Celý dej sa odohráva behom jedného týždňa, čo mi prišlo aj na detskú knihu dosť nepremyslené. Celkom je zaujímavé, že autorka reálne popisuje druhy chrobákov, ale zásah polície/záchranárov je ako z omalovánky pre trojročných.

This is a very good book with a bad title. And synopsis.
So, this book was aimed at a younger audience than me, but hey, who doesn't love a good middle-grade novel every now and then?
I read this one for the Concorde Book Awards 2017. I'm glad it was shortlisted, because it's not a book I would have picked up otherwise.
Basically, it looks like 10 year olds would be too old to read this one. But they really wouldn't. I wasn't too old to read this one.
I can see that this book would be an amazing start to adventure novels for kids. It's got the right amount of humour and silliness along with adventure, a little mystery and a lot of very cool ideas.
I mean come on, Base Camp? While I was reading, I wanted one of those.
And beetles? They suddenly transformed from weird insects to something incredibly interesting.
A house with secret passageways? Yes yes YES!
I would have loved this one when I was younger. I loved the education side of the story too (I learnt a lot while reading).
A friend of mine told me that she was never going to read this because it looks far too "childish and silly" to her, and the story sounds "rubbish". Man, I pity her now.
