TissieL | May 3, 2023 |   archivomorero | Nov 9, 2022 | archivomorero | Jun 27, 2022 | I loved this book when I first read it as a child and I still love it now. The bumbling heroes who manage to save the day almost by accident, the villains who can't quite create the havoc they wish to cause, the book grump and Father Time...all of the characters work together to make a rollicking adventure story perfect for anyone who enjoys magic, fantasy, animals and adventure. I am so happy they've finally brought this book back into print as I can now recommend it to my young customers again!

"It's 5pm on New Year's Eve in the Villa Nightmare, and as Shadow Sorcery Minister Beelzebub Preposteror's thumb-striking clock counts down each hour with an "Ouch!", Minister Preposteror draws closer to missing his midnight deadline forfulfilling his annual quota of evil deeds and being "foreclosed." Up against a tight deadline and threats from His Hellish Excellency, the Minister of Pitch Darkness himself, Preposteror has all but given up when the arrival of an unexpected visitor promises hope: his aunt, the witch Tyrannia Vampirella, who proposes that they work together to brew the Notion Potion, a powerful formula that will grant all their evil wishes. The Night of Wishes, from The Neverending Story author Michael Ende, anticipates the world of Harry Potter: a world in which magic is not only very real, and wielded by both forces good and evil, but also bureaucratized, with its practitioners fitting into a tightly regulated hierarchical system"-- No library descriptions found. |

Bello, bello, bello. Pensavo di ricordarlo con gli occhi della nostalgia, ma no, è oggettivamente una buona storia. Molto semplice, la struttura è quella di una fiaba e funziona. Belzebù e Tirannia sono tanto spassosi quanto stupidi, mentre Jacopo e Maurice sono eroi improbabili - ingredienti perfetti per una storia fantastica. Consigliato ad un pubblico giovane, consigliato ad un pubblico un po' più attempato. (
