Über diesen Titel

Bloomsbury presents These Unlucky Stars by Gillian McDunn, read by Stina Nielsen.

Ever since her mother left a few years ago, Annie has felt like the odd one out in her family. Her dad and brother are practical and organised – they just don’t understand the way she thinks, in lines and colour. Everywhere she turns, she feels like an outsider, even at school, so she’s been reluctant to get close to anyone.

When a "Ding-Dong-Ditch" attempt goes wrong, Annie finds herself stuck making amends with Gloria, the eccentric elderly lady she disturbed. As she begins to connect with Gloria and her weird little dog, it becomes clear that Gloria won’t be able to live on her own for much longer. But it’s this brief and important friendship that gives Annie the confidence to let people in, and see how rich life can be when you decide to make your own luck and chart your own path to happiness.

In this heartwarming novel, acclaimed author Gillian McDunn shows us that even the most unexpected friendship has the power to change us forever.

Kritikerstimmen

McDunn offers a warmhearted, nuanced look at a slightly lonely child. . . . genuine and engaging. . . . Heartfelt and appealing.
An engaging, honest book--I love Cat, and you will, too!
I could almost smell the ocean air as I read Gillian McDunn's Caterpillar Summer. What a beautiful story of family, forgiveness, life on an island, and growing up.
An engrossing, heartwarming, beautifully written debut about building and rebuilding family ties.
McDunn’s poignant, gratifying debut about friendship and family encourages both empathy and hope.
Fans of the books Rules by Cynthia Lord and Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine will enjoy this well-written book about the struggles of a fractured family.
Readers will find Cat to be an admirable and fully credible heroine . . . and the idyllic island setting makes for a wistful summer escape.
A sweet summer story that middle grade readers will appreciate.
