12/27/2022 0 Comments Shadow children among the hidden movie![]() There is a mention of drugs possibly being grown in a basement and women that are pregnant. There are several violent acts such as the murdering of 40 children. For example, the main character, Luke gets a hold of a gun. There is violence in the book that young children will not be able to handle. I can see why children would like it and the reading level may be appropriate for the grades I mentioned, but the content is not. I am writing this review more so for teachers that have to watch everything they do. This book is not appropriate for 5th or 6th grade students. They don't care." But that one paragraph with the graphic detail that really made me pause. ![]() They talk about the possibility of dying at this rally (but not how), and Jen's dad mentions a little later, "They probably would have shot a thousand. The rest of the story is fine enough if you child is OK with the overall premise. I then read that chapter to him and omitted the majority of the above paragraph. ![]() We compromised that he was able to read the book until he got to that chapter and then he needed to stop. But they had the sidewalks scrubbed before the tourists came, so nobody would know." Maybe some 7 year olds would be OK with reading that, but that's not an image I wanted in my son's head at this age. All forty kids at the rally, gunned down right in front of the president's house. Luke asks Jen's father what happened and he replies, "They shot her. And not just in passing, but in quite a bit of detail. Jen, the 13 year old "hidden" girl that Luke (the main character) meets, is killed. However, there was one part I was not comfortable with at all. fantasy so I was OK with him reading most of it. My 7 year old has always done well with distinguishing fact vs. ![]() Overall, it was a great book that would be appropriate for 10ish up, depending on maturity level. I was cautious given the synopsis on the back cover along with info that people have said here, so I read it first to make sure. He checked it out from the school library and was SO excited to start reading it when he got home. My 1st grader heard about this series through a friend with older siblings. Eine glasklare Empfehlung auch für Erwachsene.I like to write reviews with more detail to help those like myself who have young readers who read above reading level and may or may not be ready for various books. Spannend erzählt, logische Handlungen, politisch bildend. Im Gegensatz zu Kindern, die von Anfang an versteckt wurden und für ihr Leben gebrandmarkt sind. Hier merkt man erst das Besondere an Luke, der lange eine Kindheit in relativer Freiheit genießen konnte. Die anderen Bände sind dazu da, weitere Schicksale staatlich ungewollter Kinder zu aufzuzeigen. Im Grunde fädelt sich die Geschichte um den Helden Luke, der nur in 2 Bänden nicht die Hauptrolle spielt. Ich spreche C 1 und fand das Buch angemessen.Įine Rezensentin schrieb, dass jeder Band von einem anderen Kind handle. Aber immer noch hochaktuell.Įs ist für Leseanfänger empfohlen, jedoch halte ich das für deutlich untertrieben. ![]() Dabei ist das Buch schon viel länger auf dem Markt. Wie nahe stand das Land vor dem Abgrund! Hier hätte man nachlesen können, wie es weitergeht, hätten die Trumpunterstützer das Kapitol tatsächlich gestürmt. Diktatur im Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten schien ja vor Trump ein Märchen zu sein. Man bekommt eine Ahnung vom Leben in Angst und im Versteck, von Hoffnungslosigkeit und dem Willen zu überleben. Jedoch möchte man sehr schnell wissen, wie es für die Kinder ausgeht und sofort alle Bände nachgekauft. Hat mich sofort angesprochen und zunächst wollte ich nur einen Band lesen. Der Teaser war im Englischbuch meines Sohnes. ![]()
