Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten. This is a short, easy story aimed at younger readers. From an adult's perspective, it's not particularly compelling -- but then, we're not the target audience. ( )Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten. This was an enjoyable short novel aimed at tweens or younger.The main character is number-focused and I enjoyed watching Martin (aka Clucky) as he moves through the novel. There are tough topics here - death, illness, grief and more - and the author deals with it well while also having a lovely little story. The pacing is good and the characters memorable. Well, you don’t see a lot of books set in South Africa- so that’s why I accepted this ARC knowing nothing else about it. Turns out it was a great decision as this coming of age book was short, sweet and quirky. Clucky (Martin) is a math guy and he sees the world through numbers. He meets a neighbor kid named Vusi who wants to make a zombie movie and unfortunately also has Hodgkins disease. The two boys end make making the movie working through the challenges of Vusi’s reality of treatments and staying inside. There are some heavy themes but it is solidly MG and I think that kids in grades 4-6 will enjoy this look into life in South Africa. Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten. This was a quick read that would be a good "in between" book for the YA crowd - by "in between" I mean that that weird time when you're between two really good books, where you want to read but feel like nothing will ever live up to the book you just read. It could also be a good summer beach read. As others have mentioned in their reviews, it is entertaining but doesn't leave a lasting impression. It does cover a number of fairly big issues, but the length of the book made it difficult to really delve into those and do them justice. Overall enjoyable, but more of a snack than a main course.

"Clucky" is a boy who raises chickens, something he did with his dad, up until his dad died a couple of years before. A new family moves in down the street, including a boy Clucky's age, Vusi, who is a budding movie director, who just happens to be fighting Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The boys meet under difficult circumstances, but soon they are hard at work making a movie.I found this a quick and very engaging read. It was easy to become invested in the character, their friendships, and the success of their film. Palkinnot
