To be a "easier" read and a fantasy book it got me intrested in the book. I had it in the school library i work at and i knew some kids loved them. And i cant more than agree, it has Everything a good fantasy book should have.

I loved it and i read all the books the library had in such a fast pace….I just needed to know what was going to happen, even if it was rather obvious to an avid reader.

But we only had 4 books and i can now see there is 12...i need them. I feel a bit addicted XD both to the story but also the wonderful illustrations.

Wow just wow. This book was obviously made for young children; the "twists" are so obvious, it's just depressing when it's officially announced. Yes this book has a few decent things, the illustrations, the idea, and well, that's it. It was honestly painful to read, and I recommend almost any other book.

Jag har snabbläst de tre första delarna i serien Svarta skogens hemlighet. Heter En farlig önskan, Ut ur skuggan och Smycket. De är utgivna av förlaget Nypon som specialiserat sig på lättlästa böcker.

Jag tycker väl inte att Nypon har lyckats så jättebra med de här böckerna. Det är Lucy och Soli som berättar historien. I början av varje kapitel står det vem som berättar + första meningen. Sedan fortsätter kapitlet på nästa sida, vilket jag inte alls tror är lyckat för en svag läsare. Svårt att se sambandet mellan person som berättar, första meningen, vända sidan, fortsätter utan inledning eller förklaring. Blir rörigt att hoppa mellan rösterna och den märkliga kapitelindelningen hjälper inte till.

Lucy och Soli är bästastebästa vänner. När Lucy lovar att hjälpa Soli fånga/få Aron, men istället själv kysser honom skakar naturligtvis vänskapen till. När Soli konfronterar Lucy mitt ute i Svarta skogen och i ilska säger: "Jag önskar att du försvann" händer förstås det. I Svarta skogen lever nämligen rätt obehagliga feer och en önskan är en önskan och den gäller för evigt! Förkrossad av dåligt samvete måste nu Soli försöka ställa allt till rätta.

Kommer inte att prisa dessa böcker, men nog tror jag en och annan fantasy-sugen kommer att ta sig an dem. Rätt lockande framsidor om inte annat.
