Ein sehr schönes und emotionales Kinderbuch für Leser ab dem Grundschulalter.
Es geht um Dunja, Dunne genannt, die ihre ersten Sommerferien gemeinsam mit der Freundin Ella Frida auf einer schwedischen Insel verbringen darf. Dunnes Vater kann sich gerade nicht um seine Tochter kümmern, da er nach einem Unfall noch im Krankenhaus ist. Doch Dunne und ihr Papa telefonieren jeden Tag miteinander.
Doch dann ruft Papa plötzlich nicht mehr an und Dunne erfährt, dass ihr Vater eine neue Freundin hat... Das macht Dunne sehr traurig.
💜 Auf sehr leichte und liebevolle Weise wird in diesem Kinderbuch das Thema "Papas neue Freundin" angesprochen. Nicht zu ernst, nicht zu dramatisch, aber ernsthaft und irgendwie bewegend. Es macht die vorherige idyllische Stimmung nicht kaputt, sondern bereichert sie irgendwie.
Man kann Dunne so gut verstehen, aber auch ihren Vater...
Hat mir sehr gut gefallen.

"Życie według Duni" to już czwarta część serii o tej uroczej dziewczynce. Tym razem poznajemy dalsze losy ojca, który trafił do szpitala oraz poruszamy ważne tematy jakimi są akceptacja i zrozumienie.

Dunia staje przed ważnym wyzwaniem, ponieważ poznaje nową dziewczynę taty i oczekuje się od niej zachowań, na które nie jest gotowa. Książka o potrzebie rozmowy, wyjaśnienia pewnych spraw, otwartości i wyrozumiałości. Lubię to, że Dunia nie jest w tych książkach idealnie postępującą bohaterką, tylko jest zwyczajnych dzieckiem potrzebującym uwagi i miłości. Nie zawsze zachowuje się tak jak wszyscy by chcieli, aby się zachowywała. Nie zawsze postępuje odpowiednio do sytuacji. Ale jest sobą i to jest super. To daje prawdziwość tej postaci.

Kivoja mutta surumielisiä nämä Dunnet. Kyllä voi pienen ihmisen elämä olla vaikeita asioita täynnä. Onneksi on paras ystävä perheineen tukena. Ja mukava mummo.

I read this book in my master's degree literature courses. The book has received several awards USBBY Outstanding International Books List, Winner, 2017, Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) Choices, Winner, 2017, Notable Award Kirkus Best Middle-Grade Books of the Year, Winner, 2016. The plot in "Life According to Dani" is about the story of a little girl, developing the theme of Dani's first summer vacation—and the best! She is staying on an island with Ella, her best friend in the world. Her dad, who had an accident is still in hospital but he calls every day, and Ella and Dani stay busy building huts, fishing, exploring, and swimming. Then Dad turns up but with his nurse too! This is a contemporary realistic fiction chapter book, where her principal character Dani, and Ella her best friend is another crucial character in the story. The set plot on an island surrounded by nature transmits a relaxed and happy mood environment, full of adventure and fun. Throughout the chapters, the illustrator uses black-and-white pictures with shadows that share emotions with simple lines and curves. Those pictures complement very well the text, which on some pages is less giving more relevance to the pictures that tell the story as well.
This book is appropriate to use in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade, in reading aloud, independent reading, analyzing chapters, reading comprehension, recognizing text structure, doing inference of pictures, identifying cause/effect, and so on.

In what appears to be the second outing of Dani’s happy adventures, Dani’s happiness suffers a temporary derailment. When Dani’s father is hospitalized after an accident, Dani spends her first summer break on the island with her best friend Ella’s family. Though she certainly misses her father, Dani is happy on the island until she learns, in the worst possible way, that her father has a girlfriend. Having always been everything to her father, Dani does not take the news well. Dani’s reaction is spot-on and her father’s backtracking puts Dani in charge of getting to know Sadie, which, having read future volumes already, I know will work out well in the end. An empathetic and sweet book about changing family relationships (and good and not-so-good ways to share the news!).

This is one of my favorite kids' books ever. The plot is fine, but it is the way the book is written and illustrated that I love. In this book, the girls seem like really good friends, and they are amazing depictions of six year-olds. The things they say and the games they play remind me of when I was their age, and the whole thing just feels really warm. A lot of kids' books seem like they are trying to make the characters seem funny or cool, and that overrides the attention to realism and emotion. The truth is, though, that most kids would rather see someone that is like them than someone who is cool. It is also great that this book deals with series issues such as injury and parents having new partners in a book for such young kids.

Absolutely delightful addition to the Dani series of chapter books for the youngest readers. Dani and Jasper Johns could be fast friends. Dani's unique take on the world helps her navigate the ups and downs of summer vacations, family squabbles, and big life changes. The ending of this book surprised me, as it is not typical American storytelling for this age, but it was rewarding and authentic. Marvelously illustrated by Eva Erikkson and engagingly translated by Julia Marshall. Definitely share this series with kids. A new favorite!

In this book Dani is staying with Ella on her summer island. Dani's father gets better and comes home from the hospital on crutches. He gets a girlfriend named Sadie. Dani likes her but Ella doesn't like Sadie because she smokes.At the end of the book the girls see shooting stars in the sky and make a wish. Dani wishes that they can take their hamsters to school with them next year. Ella doesn't make a wish because she says, "When your here, Dani, I have everything I could wish for."

Dunne-serien fortsätter leverera. Beskrivningarna av sommarlovet på ön är så härliga att en nästan känner sommarbrisen mot kinden och det svala vattnet mot benen. Även i denna bok lyckas Lagercrantz skickligt väva in stora tunga ämnen på de få raderna med en lätthet och närhet som förvånar. Är dock lite skeptisk mot slutet så det ska bli spännande att se hur det fortsätter i nästa del.

Charming stories though I continue to unimpressed with the father. Admittedly, he has dealt with a lot in this series but he does come across as self-centered with token times of affection.
The friends spend time together playing on the island and enjoying the quiet. Readers see them continue to grow up with hints that they are becoming individuals with separate interests as well.

As Dani's father continues to heal from his accident, she spends the summer with her best friend Ella. All is going well according to Dani, until she hears the news that her father has a GIRLFRIEND!!!! How Can DAni cope with this major life change?

[Beth]

This is my second book by this author, and I always feel like the story is a little older than the children it is intended for. I think a lot of kids might relate, but it's a pretty heavy subject for a young child to read.

[Cat]

This would make a great book for a child who's parents are divorced and are now beginning to date other people. Maybe their parents should read it ,too.

[Marjo]

Ihana Dunne.

[Josisosis]

Julie ville ge den 5 stjärnor. Fin och mysig om än lite allvarlig barnbok passar 6-8 åringar 😊

[Saoirse]

Quelle tristesse ce tome... Pauvre Dunne... Où est la légèreté, la joie du début ?

Taattua Lagerkrantz & Eriksson -tasoa.

[Dani]

Such lovely illustrations but man are Swedish children's books bleak. My poor American heart was yearning for resolution.

4.0 out of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story and the twists and turns it took. Plus we got to see more of Dani and Ella

[Emelie Rahmqvist]

Hittills den del i serien som fångat oss minst. Känns lite som en mellan-bok. Kanske också var tvunget att vara så pga att vissa nya relationer och karaktärer skulle presenteras..

[Lyn]

This series of books is just delightful - funny, real, heartwarming, brave in the topics it tackles but all done with such a light touch. Such good books for children as read-alouds or read-alones.

Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.

[Danni Nic]

It was adorable and quick. It deals with love/fear/and loss. It's a good children's book.

Ännu en härlig bok från serien om Dunne som älskas högt här hemma både av mig och barnen på 5 och 7.

This book was a short read. I did enjoy it but it made me feel sad to.
