The Danger Gang

Product Information

Toen Tom Fletcher onder de vleugels van Billy Bones werd genomen met zijn Nederlandstalige debuut De Kerstmisaurus was meteen duidelijk dat we met een echte klepper in het jeugdboekenaanbod te maken hadden. Zijn vervolgboek scoorde evenzeer en met de Knerpers bevestigde hij nog maar eens zijn kunnen. Dit keer mocht ik opnieuw een avontuur van zijn hand doornemen dat luistert naar de naam “De Braniebende”. De auteur brengt het soort avontuur dat elke jeugdige tiener wel zou willen beleven en schetst een vriendengroep waar zowat iedere lezer zich in kan herkennen. De pester, de streber, de lieverd of de durfal, allemaal zijn ze vertegenwoordigd in dit verhaal. En wat meer is, elk heeft zo zijn of haar gebreken, die, éénmaal uitvergroot instaan voor het avontuurlijke fantasie-aspect van het geheel. De speelse manier waarop thema’s als vriendschap, angsten en samenhorigheid in het geheel worden verwerkt maken het plaatje af. Tom's books have been translated into thirty-nine languages, and to date he has sold over 5 million copies of his books in the UK alone.

Your class will read the passage describing how thunder and lightning storms happen. The pupils will use the information and answer the questions provided to describe how thunder storms happen. Wie een boek van Fletcher in handen krijgt, weet dat het niet van de dunste exemplaren zijn. Ook dit keer klopt hij zijn verhaal net onder de 450 pagina’s af. Het grote lettertype, de creatieve bladspiegel en de regelmatige onderbreking van de tekst door de wondermooie zwart-wit illustraties, zorgen er echter voor dat je als lezer in geen tijd het boek hebt uitgelezen. Het taalgebruik is heel laagdrempelig en zal voor de gemiddelde lezer vanaf zo’n acht jaar perfect verteerbaar zijn. Het sterke aan Fletchers schrijfsels is echter dat de bovenleeftijd heel wat verder reikt dan het doorsnee jeugdboek. Zelfs een wat ouder publiek van bijna twintigers en ver daarboven zullen ongetwijfeld smullen van wat hij te vertellen heeft.I also loved seeing what happened to the town and that the storm didn’t just affect the children. It affected a lot more! This one was a little hard for me to rate in the end....I think the way this was written using letters was really cool and I haven't seen this in a middle grade before. Also reading this from an adult's perspective was quite funny, especially with the rules and secrets the kids think they have that their parents surely couldn't know about. I enjoyed the format of this book as it was multiple letters sent to another person. I also enjoyed the unique story this fictional book contains.The main character was named Franky but my favourite was named Eddie. I would recommend this book to anyone between 7 and15.

I had so much fun finding out what was going on with that storm and what it meant for each character. I won’t spoil anyone’s superpowers you will just have to read this fun book to find out, but I have to say if I had to rank the superpowers I would do it this way:His new town is called Freaky and upright it was freaky, their are flashes of green light. And one by one his new friends at freaky change! Yoto says: Find out what happens when a strange storm hits Franky's street and slowly but surely the Danger Gang is born! Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing -

In this story, something strange is happening with Franky's friends after a freaky storm. Franky is surprised to see that it had recently happened after they have arrived. He, his old friend Danny, and his friends in freaky finds out what had caused the storm. It is a story that can be read by 7+ children. I did think it was a bit odd to go for branie instead of danger in the Dutch edition. I mean branie is a good choice in the end, but it seems weird to go from danger to daring/brave. This book made me jealous that all the children in the story had really cool superpowers and i don't! Some of the children could turn into sharks when getting wet!However, some of this was a little annoying - in particular the ew girls are gross parts. Meeting the danger gang was so fun and interesting some of the plot line was pretty cool too, there is of course a lot of toilet humor in this one but it wasn't too bad.
