"Things are always what they seem, are they?" ~ from the back cover of the book This book is about two kids (one bland and one adventurous) who are separated at birth and live their first twelve years with the wrong family and never understand why they do not fit in. This book follows the story of Fern who finds out that she has been living with the wrong family for twelve years and that her real family is very different. Her father and mother are anybody's which means that they can transform themselves into anything and that Fern is the only one who can translate her late mother's diary and figure out where the lost book "The art of being anybody" is being hidden. She and her father travel to her grandmother's house which is made of books and houses characters from those books that Fern and her grandmother can shake out of books.She and her father work to get the book before the Miser does and succeed while Fern comes to know her new and exciting family and finds her own strength in being who she has always wanted to be. She finds out that everything is not what it seems and that is what makes life interesting. This fantasy novel is written for middle school grades and is witty and funny and uses a lot of literary references. The illustrations are done in sketches in what seems like pencil or pen. The Anybodies tells the story of an unusual girl by the name of Fern, who feels like she's never fit in. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Drudger, embody the definition of dull, working as accountants for the firm Beige & Beige while collecting toasters, sponges, and refrigerator magnets as a hobby. On the other hand, Fern is a lively, bubbly child, whose wildness and intellect are rejected by her parents. However, that all changes when Fern discovers she was switched at birth, and is presented the chance to live with her biological father over the summer. Her father, the Bone, and her have much more in common than she ever could've imagined, and he tells her he's an Anybody: someone who can be anybody or anything. However, he's slowly losing his powers as an Anybody, and to get them back, they need Fern's mother's book, The Art of Being Anybody. Thus, Fern and the Bone start their journey together, searching for the book with all the answers. Fern has such a strong, unique personality which really sets her apart from other young protagonists. One of her most notable characteristics is her passion for reading; she has a wall of books in her room. This particular detail can really inspire readers to follow in her footsteps, as it is certainly an admirable trait. A classic fantasy novel, The Anybodies is sure to captivate an audience and leave behind a story to remember. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
