    by Margaret Peterson Haddix
    £12.49 - 10.49

    Hvad gør dig til den, du er?Det troede Greystone-børnene, de vidste. Chess har altid været beskyttende over for sine mindre søskende, Emma har altid elsket matematik, og Finn har altid bare gjort det, Finn er bedst til – at fjolle nuttet rundt og blive forkælet. De har altid været en lykkelig familie, bare de tre og deres mor.Men alt ændrer sig, da nyheden om tre kidnappede børn kommer frem. For de tre forsvundne børn har samme navne, samme alder og præcis samme fødselsdatoer som Greystone-børnene. Det bizare tilfælde får dem til at spekulere på, hvem de fremmede egentlig er? Men før Chess, Emma og Finn kan nå at spørge deres mor om det, tager hun på en pludselig "arbejdsrejse" og efterlader sig mystiske spor. Spor, der fører børnene til komplekse gåder, skjulte rum og en farlig hemmelighed, der truer med at vende deres verden på hovedet.Spændende højtlæsning til drenge og piger fra ca. 9 år og selvlæsning fra ca. 11 år.Pressen skriver:»En spændende og velskrevet fortælling, hvor vi skiftes til at følge de 3 børns oplevelser. Her er mystik, koder, gåder og skjulte rum i den helt rette blanding […] Spændende fra side 1. Anbefales klart.«- Pia Gunilla Park, Lektør»Hvis man godt kan lide En ulykke kommer sjældent alene, Løven, heksen og garderobeskabet og de gamle, nyligt genoptrykte travere med Enid Blytons De fem, så vil man synes rigtig godt om Greystone – De fremmede […] De fremmede er virkeligt spændende, og man kan næsten ikke vente med at få forklaringen på det meget mærkelige plot. Bogen er for børn fra ni år, men den har adskillige elementer der kan tiltale unge og voksne, og handlingen er raffineret udtænkt.«- Birte Strandby, Bogvægten»Hvad er det der foregår? Det spørgsmål dukker op allerede en side inde i bogen - og det holder mig fanget hele vejen igennem. Greystone 1. De fremmede er et vaskeægte mysterium fyldt med koder og spor, som børnene skal løse for at finde deres mor igen. Det kræver at læseren er vågen og åben, for der er meget at holde styr på […] Er du til mysterier og spænding er det her helt sikkert en bog for dig. Men gør klar til at sætte tid af, for når du først er begyndt, er det ikke til at stoppe igen.«- Rikke Dyrhave, Æseløre»Historien er spændende og sproget er stærkt. Der er kræset for det, og samtidig med at det langsomt lukker op for mystikken om Greystone, børnene og plottet, dvæler og kæler det for de sproglige detaljer, og gør det svært ikke at læse videre […] Greystone – De fremmede er en rigtig god roman med et mysterium, der skal løses. Samtidig er det en spændende rejse at følge med på. Både børn, unge og voksne vil kunne glæde sig over denne fine roman.«8/10 - Bookeater»Spænding, mystik, koder og opdagelsen af en parallelverden er alle ingredienser i første del af en lovende serie for mysteriehungrende børn […] Man er simpelthen indfanget fra første side.«- Britta Voergaard Poulsen, Litteratursiden
