The Dark Ground by Gillian Cross

librariann's review

4.0

It's Lost meets the Littles in this unique fantasy. Robert doesn't remember what happened before he woke up naked in the woods. His last memory was being in an airplane bathroom. Did his plane crash? If so, where is the wreckage, and why don't there seem to be other survivors? As Robert tries to survive in the wilderness, he becomes aware of others around him, helping him. But when he realizes the truth about where he is and what has happened to him, he must undertake a difficult journey to reach his home. A bit confusing at times (especially the beginning), but ultimately a fast-paced and exciting adventure. Keep the second in the series handy for reading soon after finishing the first.

Als ich das Buch in der 6.Klasse für eine Buchvorstellung gelesen habe, fand ich es super. Es birgt eine super schöne Idee, die umwerfend spannend war und mich sehr gefesselt habe. Vielleicht sollte ich es nochmal lesen, und dann die Folgebände noch anschließen, die ich irgendwie nie gelesen habe.

Boy unexplainedly shrinks to a minuscule size. Tries with help of others in the same circumstances to get back home.
