Sinossi
Come la prenderesti se all’improvviso tuo zio decidesse di trasformare la casa in una fabbrica di pesce in scatola piena zeppa di macchine rumorose e puzzolenti?Stanley ha cercato di adattarsi, perché adora gli zii che lo hanno cresciuto, ma un giorno la sua pazienza finisce e decide di abbandonare la vecchia vita e unirsi ai carrozzoni del luna park: più precisamente alla bancarella del pesca-la-papera. Lo aspetta un mondo di personaggi che si infiammano come scintille dell’autoscontro, ma dal cuore soffice come zucchero filato, magici come la luce lunare e leggendari come Pancho Pirelli, l’uomo che nuota nella vasca dei piranha. Sarà proprio lui a vedere in quel ragazzino pelle e ossa il suo successore: riuscirà Stan a… tuffarsi nel proprio destino?Dalla penna di David Almond, tra i più grandi scrittori per ragazzi di oggi, un piccolo capolavoro di tenerezza e comicità sul coraggio di crescere e accettare di cambiare, per quanto bizzarro, pauroso, e a volte buffo, possa sembrare.

Ohromné překvapení! Kniha o nalézání sebe sama, splnění svých snů či o nacházení životních hodnot. Nějak se mi to trefilo do nálady.
"Would you like my lads to see who is tooting' their hooter and put it to a halt?" asks Clarence P. Clapp regarding a car that is honking its horn at an "ossifer." Clarence is the king of malapropisms, mispronunciations, and misspellings in this goofy story by David Almond. While it nods it head at
Knížka, v které se dozvíte, že každý z nás má svou vnitřní piraňu. A je jen na vás, jestli ji necháte, aby vás sežrala, nebo se jí postavíte a zaplavete si s ní. Trochu bláznivý příběh o překonávání vlastního strachu (Co myslíte, fakt si Stanley Potts, hlavní hrdina, zaplave s piraňami?), kde vedle ma Leggi tutto
SO as part of my Fiction For Children Module for Creative Writing at Uni, I read this book 'The Boy Who Swam with Piranhas. I did not know what to expect, except a boy swimming with piranhas. This book is mostly aimed at young children, I would say from the age range of 8-12. I have to admit though
A series of unfortunate events leads young Stanley Potts to run away from home and join a traveling fair. He works at the hook-a-duck stall and eventually becomes an apprentice to the swarthy speedo'd man who swims with piranhas, soon swimming with the toothy fishies himself. Like a bulging tin of t Leggi tutto
Отличная метафора про внутреннюю пиранью; но вообще Алмонда стоит читать за неистребимый оптимизм

The Boy who Swam with Piranhas by David Almond. I re-read this today, not having realised that I had read it three years ago. I was really impressed with it and thought that the plethora of new celebrity writers could do far worse than read this and take some tips from it. With a hint of magical rea Leggi tutto
I chose to read this book as on my first placement the class were doing a topic on theme parks and fairgrounds. The story is about a lonely boy who runs away to the fairground and is a comedy written in a cheerfully throwaway style, which is big on laughs and fun. David Almond has produced a circus r Leggi tutto
One of the most boring books I've ever read. Very disappointing and not even the ending saved it! I had to put this book aside a good 3 or 4 times and come back to it later. It took me 4 months in total. I really had to force myself to actually finish it, but I really don't like not finishing books, Leggi tutto
