A review by marielisuarez
Emil and the Detectives by Erich Kästner

5.0

This was a childhood book I had in my bookcase since forever. I know that I had read it but only remembered a couple of details about the story: a bowler hat, a taxi, kids running around and Emil. I couldn't recall anything from the plot so re-reading it as an adult was fun because as things happened I could remember some of the details but not all of it. It's really witty, fast paced and fun things keep happening in the plot and gets better and better until the last page. It makes me want to pick up more children's literature, especially those that are set in foreign countries.
