The Matchstick Castle
批評家のレビュー
"Fast-paced, anarchic fun for reluctant and avid readers alike." (Kirkus Reviews)
“This quirky novel is reminiscent of a Wes Anderson movie for the tweenage set.... For those who enjoy a bit of absurdist humor with their realism.” (School Library Journal)
“A zippy, adventurous romp in the woods complete with fierce animals and buried treasure.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books)
あらすじ・解説
A wild and whimsical adventure story, perfect for fans of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library.
Brian can think of a few places he'd rather spend his summer than with his aunt and uncle in Boring, Illinois. Jail, for example. Or an earplug factory. Anything would be better than doing summer school on a computer while his scientist dad is stationed at the South Pole.
Boring lives up to its name until Brian and his cousin Nora have a fight, get lost, and discover a huge wooden house in the forest. With balconies, turrets, and windows seemingly stuck on at random, it looks ready to fall over in the next stiff breeze. To the madcap, eccentric family that lives inside, it's not just a home - it's a castle.
Suddenly summer gets a lot more exciting. With their new friends, Brian and Nora tangle with giant wasps, sharp-tusked wild boars, and a crazed bureaucrat intent on bringing the dangerously dilapidated old house down with a wrecking ball.
This funny, fantastical story will resonate with any listener who's ever wished a little adventure would find them.
