Sinossi
Jordy, Chloe e Alex hanno appena cambiato casa. Una casa normale, sicura e accogliente... Ma non lo è altrettanto la soffitta, a quanto pare. Dopo esserci saliti in cerca di un vecchio orologio da taschino insieme a Nelson, il loro gatto a tre zampe, quella che è cominciata come una banale ricerca si trasformerà presto in un'incredibile avventura. La soffitta racchiude infatti un mondo gigantesco e misterioso, popolato da manichini impazziti, pipistrelli parlanti, demoni dell'inchiostro, ratti danzanti e altri inquietanti personaggi, tra cui i tre ragazzini si muovono in un susseguirsi di sorprese e brividi inattesi. Come se non bastasse, il luogo emana un fascino terribile e particolare, che toglie a chi ci trascorre troppo tempo ogni desiderio di tornare a casa. Un'avventura mozzafiato. Una storia di coraggio, lealtà e amicizia. Un romanzo che non si fa dimenticare.

Received an audiobook copy of Attica for review from Downpour.com via Audiobook Jukebox Attica was brilliantly narrated by Simon Vance. This was the first title that I have listened to by this narrator which is surprising since he has narrated over 700 popular novels such as The Girl With the Dragon Leggi tutto
Alice in Wonderland meets Homer’s Odyssey . There’s a dark whimsy in Kilworth’s story of three children journeying through a boundless attic, yet it does not evoke wonder so much as despondency. The characters grow but afford too little payoff at journey’s end.
A complex, Narnian-fantasy manages to amaze and disappoint. The plot is definitely it's strong point. If you love your "Kids go on an adventure to a weird but crazy cool world", I seriously can't recommend it enough. It's bizarre, it's fun, it's humorous, it's creepy... and hey, even has the tiniest Leggi tutto
Whoever the editor was, I hope he hasn't edited other books. I've spotted so many incorrect grammar and stuff like that, and I'm not even an adult.
The premise of this book was intriguing and the cover is beautiful, so I picked it up. The novel had an old-school fantasy feeling (like E. Nesbit or Edward Eager), which was charming at points but also wore thin. I felt like the plot was lacking--the children go into the attic to retrieve a pocket
