Hamish and the WorldStoppers

Product Information

Hamish is my favourite character. My favourite part is when he starts to learn about him still being able yo move when time is stopped. I would still recommend it for anyone that's 8 and over because the text and size of the book is not suited to anyone younger. Fiction. This was a fun book to read, and had lots of action scenes, but it wasn't one of the best books that I've read this summer.

Like David Walliams, Danny Wallace is a comedian turned children's author. Of the two, Wallace's writing is funnier' The Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week Ha sido una historia entretenida, con algún personaje entrañable, con una lectura fácil y directa (perfecta de 8-10 años) y con algún toque humorístico bastante simpático. Sin duda las ilustraciones dan un juego y una vistosidad a la edición que hacen una historia más completa. Para mí la narración falla al inventarse tantas palabras, o hacer demasiadas uniones entre palabras solo para que suenen bien; llegando a resultar estrambótico en ocasiones y que no le veo sentido para primeros lectores, los cuales justamente creo que deben aprender vocablos correctos en base a la lectura.Y por el momento tengo entendido que hay dos libros, Hamish and the Worldstoppers y Hamish and the Neverpeople. No sé si será una trilogía o saga, pero definitivamente querré leer el siguiente. A tragedy brings Lemonade Liberty Witt to her grandpa's place from San Francisco, but she's determined she won't be staying long. A funny, touching and thought-provoking adventure story examining loss, grief, self-discovery and acceptance. Another said he’d drive a Ferrari all the way to Alton Towers and then not have to queue up for anything. Hamish and the Neverpeople is the hilarious sequel to Danny Wallace’s earlier novel, Hamish and the WorldStoppers . It contains the familiar faces of the original characters and more!

So I knew that Hamish couldn’t just have fun. There had to be an encroaching danger; some kind of monster in the cupboard. I liked it because it was funny and really exciting. My favourite character was Elliot, he was a smart boy. I would recommdnd this to people because it is such a fun book to read.Pero eso sería algo demasiado bonito para ser real. Cada que una pausa ocurría, un adulto desaparecía o se convertía en una persona gruñona y peleonera de la noche a la mañana. Así que Hamish comenzó a intuir que esos cambios repentinos en los adultos tendrían algo que ver con las pausas, y sólo él podría hacer algo al respecto (¿sólo él?). Hamish and his friends try to stop the worldstoppers from taking over the city.I liked Hamish the most because Original, quirky and super silly, Wallace has written a great book that kids - particularly boys - will really enjoy.

The plot had so many holes in it I decided to stop keeping count. The story-line was dragged out in some places and towards the end felt incredibly rushed. I really would have liked to see more PDF action with the original gang of 5. (That definitely doesn't make sense, but it would do if you'd read the book).

Because everything changes when we read.

Hamish and the Worldstoppers (part 5)

The first thing to say here is that even though this book is written for children, I still thought that there was a lot there for me to enjoy as an adult. Part of that is probably due to the fact that I’m a Danny Wallace fan and find that he’s generally pretty funny whether he’s writing for kids or adults. In fact, he does what a lot of writers don’t manage to do by writing for children without speaking down to them. La narración corre a cargo de Hamish, quien en primera persona nos cuenta su vida y la de otros personajes secundarios que lo ayudan a llevar la historia. Aparte de Hamish, los Pausófilos -como se hacen llamar- es un grupo de niños que igual se mantienen despiertos durante las pausas. Son importantes en la historia, en especial Alice, quien ayuda a Hamish a encontrar a más niños para su causa. Personalmente me gustó Clover, una niña que usa disfraces para esconderse. En fin, hay una gran variedad de personajes que hacen de esta historia algo único. Chosen as one of the Top Ten Best New Books for Children 2015 by Andrea Reece. Danny Wallace is well-known as comedian, actor and TV presenter. Now he’s a children’s author too, and a very good one. Hamish lives in Britain’s fourth-most boring town but life gets very exciting when one day Hamish notices that the whole world has stopped: planes; cars; people. Everything in fact - except him. What follows is a fast moving, funny sci-fi adventure. There’s lots that’s very silly but some sharp one-liners too and droll descriptions. Hamish and his friends are engaging characters, and the baddies something else altogether! This will have anyone aged 8 and up in stitches. ~ Andrea Reece
