Sinossi
In una scuola inglese, in una classe di studenti irrecuperabili, i ragazzi vengono coinvolti in una sorta di esperimento scientifico che consiste nel ricevere un sacco di farina di tre chili - il peso di un bambino neonato - e accudirlo per tre settimane, stando attenti che non corra pericoli, non si sporchi, non perda peso e non venga rosicchiato dal cane. Il lavoro di baby sitter è pesante e le insidie sono molteplici: in uno spogliatoio maschile di un campo da calcio, per esempio, la speranza di vita di un bambino di farina si misura in minuti... Come in altri suoi libri l'autrice affronta con grande sensibilità i problemi che nascono dal rapporto tra adulti e ragazzi in una combinazione del tutto particolare tra realismo e gusto per l'assurdo.

Чудова книга :) Вартувало би долучити до соціального проекту з борошняними немовлятами усіх підлітків. Не все ж математикою жити! Адже набагато важливіше розуміти життя і бути до нього готовим. -1 за відверту дидактичність. /і мені, до речі, теж :Р/ Leggi tutto
I'm also a book blogger: Vee_Bookish Flour Babies is a story from my childhood, having been published in 1993. It's very British, and of it's time, and I'm not sure that's a good thing. The way the boys talk, and the way the teachers teach the children is likely not something that will resonate with Leggi tutto
Simon Martin & his 4C classmates are a class with problems & are perceived as too stupid to participate in the difficult projects for the science fair....more's the pity for them as the thought of blowing things up is something this group relish ;o) Instead they find themselves participating in a par Leggi tutto
Неочікувано глибока історія про відповідальність і вміння відпускати. Якщо коротко, то це історія про експеримент, який вчитель влаштував класу 14-річних пацанів - протягом певного часу, вони мають піклуватися про 3-кілограмовий мішок борошна як про власне "борошняне немовля". Як надовго їх вистачить Leggi tutto
“Here is the source of valour undismayed, the spring-head of endeavour; here I see the wonder that passes every other!” — ‘The Quest of the Holy Grail’, translated by P M Matarasso. Simon Martin is a wastrel but respected by his peers for his size, strength, and prowess in sport. He’s also a 14 year Leggi tutto
