Showing results for "peter" in Coming of Age

A seemingly ordinary 14-year-old boy discovers he has the ability to talk with animals and they with him. It is not at all like Dr. Doolittle. Hamish learns he is a Speaker, one in a centuries-long tradition of rare individuals who have the ability to talk with animals, and who emerge when the world is confronted by extraordinary crises. But Hamish doesn’t know what crisis he has been called to address, and not even the animals he speaks to have the answers for him. Speaker is a coming-of-age story about overcoming grief and letting go.

Born in a quiet English village shortly before the onset of the Second World War, Simon Brand’s life is quickly and inextricably interwoven with the Clare-Thompson family and their country Estate which borders the village. His mother moves them away from the village after the war, and an honors degree in economics at Cambridge sees him opting for what proves to be a brilliant career as a business/financial consultant in the City. At the end of a day of goodbyes, in Cambridge, his eyes meet those of an extraordinarily beautiful young woman through the window of a bus.

Spurven Peter Pjusk står endnu en gang over for eventyr og nye oplevelser. Denne gang af den mere naturlige art, da han for første gang i sit liv står over for en streng vinter fyldt med mørke, kulde og sne.

Den lille spurveunge Peter Pjusk er meget energisk, madglad... og måske en smule klodset. I hvert fald lander han ret tungt den dag, han ryger ud af sin rede. Nu er gode råd dyre, for Peter kan ikke flyve endnu, og pludselig står han ansigt til ansigt med en hel ny verden. Der venter både sjov og spænding, når Peter Pjusk både møder nye venner og andre dyr, der er knap så venligtsindede over for den lille gråspurv.
