Sinossi
Il mondo di Ellie non è proprio come il nostro. Ci sono la scuola, gli amici e i lunghi pomeriggi passati al centro commerciale. Ma c’è anche Kirby, il suo cane fantasma, e un potere ancestrale che le scorre nelle vene e le permette di evocare gli spiriti delle persone che non ci sono più. Lo ha ereditato dalla nonna, insieme al suo nome Apache, Elatsoe, colibrì. Un uccello piccolissimo, ma incredibilmente forte, proprio come lei. Quando lo spirito di suo cugino Trevor, scomparso misteriosamente, le fa visita in sogno, Ellie capisce che non si è trattato di un incidente: qualcuno ha ordito un piano per ucciderlo e toccherà a lei e alla sua famiglia scoprire chi e perché lo ha fatto. Già caso editoriale negli Stati Uniti ed eletto da Time uno dei migliori romanzi fantasy di tutti i tempi, Ellie dei cani eterni combina sapientemente mistero, horror, noir e fantasy con l’autentica spontaneità di una ragazza che non teme di fare la sua parte nell’eterna lotta contro il male, soprattutto quello che si nasconde nell’animo umano.

I wanted to love this book so much. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it, and I was even pondering possibly teaching it. I mean, it's got ghosts and monsters, Lipan Apache history and culture, and crimes to solve! And, it started out great -- lovely writing, pithy dialogue, and all the rest I was l Leggi tutto
4.5 stars I freaking adore this book!!! I love the concept, I love Ellie’s character, I love that she’s asexual cause it’s so uncommon to see that rep in a main character! I love how this is fantasy but it’s exactly the kind of ~light fantasy that I enjoy! This was such a unique and fun world to expl Leggi tutto
This was so disappointing for me, I really wanted to love this. To start with the narrative voice felt very young and it was jarring every time you were reminded that the main character was 17. This whole story would have worked better if it had just embraced being a middle grade story. Next the con Leggi tutto
This book scared the soul out of my body but also filled me with joy. Little Badger is a master storyteller, so much is clear. This book is rich with creativity and wisdom. So many good things bound into one little tome, I can’t possibly list them all. What stood out was the wonderful parent-child r Leggi tutto
Elatsoe blew me away! What a marvel of storytelling. This story blends mystery, paranormal, and noir, and I just loved how creative and exciting this story was. I'll never forget this gorgeous story, and can't wait to see what Darcie writes next. - In a world where paranormal beings walk among us, th Leggi tutto
I'm hard pressed to describe what this reading experience is like, but it is definitely unique in a wonderful way! This feels almost like a Scooby Doo mystery but if monsters are real and there are actual themes/pathos underlying the story? I think that's as close as I can get to describing what thi Leggi tutto
