Trilogie waarvan de beide eerste delen eerder werden uitgegeven in de reeks 'Robin en de Aardskinderen'. In 'Het duistere kasteel'* belanden Robin en haar broertje in een nare, koude wereld waar duizenden kinderen door een heks gevangen worden gehouden. In 'Het magische spoor'** nemen de moederheks en haar andere dochter, samen met 756 van de beste heksen wraak omdat Robin de machtige heks Dracuena verslagen heeft. Het afsluitende deel is 'De laatste strijd'***. Voorin deel 1 en 3 staat een kaart van het fictieve gebied waar een en ander zich afspeelt. Smeuiïg verteld en breed uitgesponnen heksenverhalen, waarin figuren en situaties zeer plastisch worden beschreven. Lekker griezelen dus! Goed geschreven en vertaalde verhalen, opgebouwd uit vele hoofdstukjes, die per deel een eigen inhoudsopgave hebben. Begrijpelijk taalgebruik met veel dialoog; wat de spanning echter realistischer maakt: je wordt gemakkelijk meegesleurd in het verhaal. Kleine letter. Voor kinderen vanaf ca. 10 jaar, die zich niet laten afschrikken door de omvang van het boek.

The Roar is getting closer and closer to the earth, ready to attack, her hungry newborn in the waiting.

Meanwhile, Carnac threatens from below, but the Unearthers, with drills for hands, stand ready for him. And the Protector under the oceans is on the children's side, bringing its wisdom and strength to bear on the battle. Cliff McNish brings the magical SILVER SEQUENCE to a thrilling conclusion in this atmospheric fantasy.

The children drawn to Coldharbour prepare to battle a terrifying force headed their way

Le dernier volume d'une trilogie pleine de magie, de mystère et de frissons. Lorsque Larpskendya, le Magicien, libère leurs pouvoirs, les enfants de la Terre découvrent qu'ils ont des dons vraiment extraordinaires. Malgré tout, ils doivent rester sur leurs gardes car les Griddas, de terribles guerrières, s'apprêtent à envahir la planète ! Ces créatures élevées par les Sorcières sont encore plus terrifiantes que toutes celles que les enfants ont dû affronter jusque-là. Une fois de plus, le sort de la Terre se trouve entre les mains de Rachel et de sort frère, Éric... Déjà parus : Le Maléfice (vol. 1) L'Alliance magique (vol. 2).

Six children leave the comfort of their homes. They are drawn to Coldharbour - an eerie wasteland of wind, rats, seagulls and rubbish tips. Emily and Freda, the twins, scuttle bright eyed and insect-like in search of the others. They find Thomas on a food tip. The gentle giant boy Walter joins them and so does Helen, who can read minds. And at the centre of it all is luminous Milo, his skin hot and bright with silver. Each of them has a unique gift, but they must learn to use their skills fast. Drawing ever closer in a maelstrom of fury is the Roar, something vast and dreadful that wants to destroy them all. As in The Doomspell trilogy, Cliff's characters really are 'the children next door' until they discover the powers they possess and he sweeps them and the reader into his worlds of magical fantasy, writing exciting, breathtaking adventures with richly imagined, vividly drawn characters, and an infectious energy, warmth and humour. The Silver Child is book 1 in a heart-stopping new sequence. Read by Malcolm Freeman and Saskia Wickham
