He’s very nearly run over by a bus, but is miraculously unhurt. Now, what do you do when a Miracle has come your way? Shouldn’t you show gratitude somehow? Surely a good deed of some sort is in order. But how?

A humorous, wise, and understanding portrait of a boy about to leave childhood behind him, this is an independent sequel to the award-winning and much-praised A Bridge to the Stars.

Recenzijas

"Mankell's story always hovers on the edge of magical realism but he suggests that there is no magic as powerful as the imagination of a melancholy child." -- Stephanie Merritt * Observer * "Translated beautifully by Laurie Thompson . . . there is no need to have read the previous book to be entranced by this one." -- Jo Klaces * TES * "Beautifully written" * The Bookseller * "A concise and questioning narrative that will amply reward reflective readers aged 10 and above." * School Librarian * "Through Joel, Mankell invites us to think about what it is that makes us who we are, in this beautiful book." * Booktrusted.co.uk *

Papildus informācija

One of the world's bestselling authors has written a moving story about a a teenager's life in Northern Sweden.
Henning Mankell (1948-2015) became a worldwide phenomenon with his crime writing, gripping thrillers and atmospheric novels set in Africa. His prizewinning and critically acclaimed Inspector Wallander Mysteries continue to dominate bestseller lists all over the globe and his books have been translated into forty-five languages and made into numerous international film and television adaptations: most recently the BAFTA-award-winning BBC television series Wallander, starring Kenneth Branagh.

Driven by a desire to change the world and to fight against racism and nationalism, Mankell devoted much of his time to working with charities in Africa, including SOS Childrens Villages and PLAN International, where he was also director of the Teatro Avenida in Maputo. In 2008, the University of St Andrews conferred Henning Mankell with an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters in recognition of his major contribution to literature and to the practical exercise of conscience.
