The Travelling Restaurant Zusammenfassung

The Travelling Restaurant Barbara Else

In the reign of Lady Gall (Provisional Monarch of Fontania), the word magic is forbidden...When 12 year old Jasper Ludlow's parents flee the city, he gets left behind. He finds refuge on The Travelling Restaurant, a sailing ship captained by old Dr Rocket and crewed by feisty Polly. Where is Jasper's baby sister? He journeys across seas and rivers, and faces whirlpools, storms and hungry pirates to find her. Who should he trust - his unreliable uncle, the mysterious journalist in black, or the gutsy, flute-playing orphan? Why did his parents abandon him? Who is the true monarch? Why is Lady Gall hunting him?

The Travelling Restaurant Bewertungen

Just an enchantment...this is one of the best fantasy books I've read in several years and certainly the best New Zealand fantasy book in a long time...

-- National Radio New Zealand

The Traveling Restaurant was both exciting and funny. This mid-grade reacher is sure to be a favourite at any family's read-aloud story time.

-- Netgalley

Blending humor, suspense, and poignancy, this absorbing fantasy-adventure features an engaging, everyday protagonist who discovers courage, resourcefulness, and confidence in the face of familiar and fantastical events.

Her first novel, The Warrior Queen, was shortlisted for the Montana New Zealand Book Awards. Her children's fiction has won a host of awards, including a 2012 White Raven Award and the 2012 NZ IBBY for The Travelling Restaurant.
