Darkmouth #2: Worlds Explode - Tapa dura

Críticas

"Incredible. The next big thing."--Eoin Colfer, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of Artemis Fowl

"With a tone reminiscent of Terry Pratchett, Darkmouth has no shortage of off-kilter humor or imagination. Landing somewhere between the Percy Jackson series and the Edge Chronicles, this new series holds plenty of promise."--ALA Booklist

"Hegarty puts a fun spin on the monster-hunting trope, creating a sympathetic, underachieving hero who nevertheless rises to the occasion. Between the entertaining premise, the tongue-in-cheek humor, and the frequent moments of excitement and action, there's plenty to enjoy in this promising series opener."--Publishers Weekly

"Hegarty creates a believable setting with its own history and character, which makes for an enjoyable read. The smooth writing and brisk plot keep the narrative moving along nicely."--School Library Journal

"Finn is sharply funny and not afraid to look dumb, excellent traits in the protagonist of a new series...Fans who have finished or moved on from the How to Train Your Dragon series will find this to be a logical next step."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"This well-imagined and often quite funny Irish import is a great antidote to boilerplate multivolume series that seem to retell the same tale over and over."--Kirkus Reviews

"Danger and action abound. Series fans will encounter some surprises and happily await Finn's next escapade."--ALA Booklist

PRAISE FOR DARKMOUTH:
"Hegarty's debut and the first of a projected series is Ghostbusters meets Percy Jackson as written by Terry Pratchett. Readers will be hunting for the sequel in short order."--Kirkus Reviews
