ANGIE SAGE: Septimus Heap. Magyk. Aus dem Englischen von Reiner Pfleiderer. Dtv Reihe Hanser (62327) 2007. 512 Seiten, 9,95 Euro.
An dicken Fantasy-Wälzern, die dazu einladen, sich mit ihnen an dunklen Winterabenden gemütlich in die Sofaecke zu kuscheln, mangelt es wahrlich nicht. Hier haben wir es mit einem Exemplar zu tun, das aus dem Rahmen fällt, denn die äußerst spannende Geschichte ist bevölkert von herrlich skurrilen und liebenswerten Gestalten, die den Leser immer wieder zum Lachen bringen, ein eher seltenes Phänomen in der düsteren Welt der Fantasy-Romane.
Die englische Autorin entführt uns ins sagenumwobene Cornwall, wo es den Mythos gibt, dass der siebte Sohn eines siebten Sohnes magische Kräfte habe. Sechs Söhne wachsen schon auf in der Zaubererfamilie Heap, und nun wird der siebte, Septimus Heap, geboren. Aber die Hebamme behauptet, das Kind sei tot, und verlässt die Wohnung der Heaps eilig mit dem in Tücher gewickelten Baby. Zur gleichen Zeit findet Vater Heap ein neugeborenes Mädchen im Schnee und bringt es seiner verzweifelten Frau. Niemand ahnt, dass es sich bei dem Findelkind um die Tochter der Königin handelt, die der böse DomDaniel ermorden ließ. Kurz darauf übernimmt der Schurke die Macht, und das Leben in der Zaubererstadt ändert sich dramatisch. Besonders schwer haben es die kleinen Zauberer wie die Heaps, aber die munteren Mitglieder dieser Familie trotzen mutig allen Widrigkeiten. Die kleine Jenna mit ihren blauen Augen, die so ganz anders aussieht als ihre grünäugigen Brüder, wird von allen heiß geliebt. Aber als sie zehn Jahre alt ist, taucht plötzlich die „Außergewöhnliche Zauberin” Marcia auf und klärt die Familie über die wahre Herkunft ihres Findelkinds auf. Jenna sei in großer Gefahr, und sie müsse sie in Sicherheit bringen. Auch die Familie Heap muss fliehen, und wir begleiten sie in die finsteren Marschen, wo verschrobene Gestalten aller Art hausen, die man schnell ins Herz schließen muss. Und was ist aus Septimus Heap geworden? Sein Geheimnis klärt sich erst ganz am Schluss auf, wie es sich gehört in einem packenden und äußerst einfallsreichen Wälzer, über dem man winterliche Dunkelheit und Kälte schnell vergisst. (ab 11 Jahre)
KATE DICAMILLO: Die wundersame Reise von Edward Tulane. Aus dem Englischen von Siggi Seuß. Bilder von Bagram Ibatoulline. Dtv junior extra (71278) 2008. 144 Seiten, 7,95 Euro.
Die kleine Abilane liebt ihren Hasen namens Edward Tulane sehr, obwohl er aus Porzellan ist und sein Herz so kalt wie sein Körper. Natürlich nimmt Abilane ihn mit, als sie mit ihren Eltern auf eine Schiffsreise geht. Doch unterwegs werfen böse Buben den Hasen über Bord, und so beginnt für Edward Tulane eine lange, „wundersame Reise”, auf der er viel erlebt und Freunde findet, die Gefühle in ihm wecken, die er bisher nicht kannte. Als er am Ende von der Tochter der inzwischen erwachsenen Abilane gefunden wird, ist er ein anderer geworden. „Es war einmal – oh, dieses wundervolle Es war einmal! – , es war einmal ein Hase, der seinen Weg nach Hause fand.” Ein Märchen also, ein sehr poetisches, federleicht und witzig erzählt, mit zauberhaften, altmodischen Bildern. (ab 8 Jahre) HILDE ELISABETH MENZEL

One reading is hardly enough to savor the rich philosophical nuances of DiCamillo s story. I think I will go read it again right now.
The New York Times Book Review
This achingly beautiful story shows a true master of writing at her very best.
School Library Journal (starred review)
The story soars because of DiCamillo's lyrical use of language and her understanding of universal yearnings. This will be a pleasure to read aloud.
Booklist (starred review)
Once again, DiCamillo harkens back to an older storytelling style, filled with magic and the transformational power of love. . . . The reader will be transformed, too.
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
There will be inevitable comparison of Edward Tulane to The Velveteen Rabbit, and Margery Williams's classic story can still charm after 83 years. But as delightful as it is, it can't match the exquisite language, inventive plot twists, and memorable characters of DiCamillo's tale.
Publishers Weekly, boxed signature review
The delicate sepia images that head each chapter and the full-color illustrations augment the emotional tenor of the book.
