Riassunto

In the thrilling final part of The SeaBEAN Trilogy, Alice and her five classmates are - for reasons they have yet to discover - abducted to 2118 in the C-Bean, their time-travel device, only to find the world is a difficult and alienating place. How will they survive their terrifying ordeal? Who can help them figure out a way to get back to their own time? Will they escape before their captor Commander Hadron catches up with them? Who is he anyway and what's his connection to the mysterious Dr Foster? Unsettled by the devastation they find everywhere in the future and armed with new knowledge about the C-Bean's ultimate purpose, Alice and Co scour the planet, confronting many challenges in pursuit of answers to their questions. But can they figure out a way to restore the Earth's delicate ecological balance for good?

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Written with an economy of language that belies its debut status... straightforward without being obvious... this is a rare talent indeed. (TREASURY ISLANDS)

... flawlessly written, the language is simple and straightforward but not condescending for young readers... the pace romps along with constant changes of venue and lots of adventure. (BEST BOOK REVIEW)

Think Secret Island meets Dr Who's Tardis and Greenpeace Junior. This non-stop adventure will excite imaginations and stimulate eco-debates. (THE RT HON EDWARD DAVEY MP - SECRETARY OF STATE FOR ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE)

... a different way of introducing children to environmental issues...the thermochromic covers are a great idea. (DAME JACQUELINE WILSON DBE FRSL)

Sarah Holding has very cleverly woven contemporary issues and concerns affecting St Kilda, Scotland and the world into a great kids adventure story. (SUSAN BAIN WESTERN ISLES MANAGER, NATIONAL TRUST FOR SCOTLAND)

I love the way that the SeaBEAN can do anything and allows them to travel around the world. I particularly like the talking parrot and the dog Spix and Spex. The cover is cool when it heats up to show the sea, clouds and lightening. (ELLEN BARNETTE, AGED 10) --Praise for the SeaBEAN Trilogy

L'autore:

Having worked as a postman, an architect, a university professor and an urban development consultant, Sarah Holding is now a full-time children's author, juggling writing with looking after a family of three children. They live in London in a funny old house with a leaning tower. When she's not writing she's singing, and when she's not singing she's playing sax in her jazz band. She says she knew there would always come a time when the abandoned island of St Kilda would feature somewhere in her life, little thinking it would be the setting for her first children's book.
