A propos du livre

Revue de presse

THE BEASTIES: 'With all the moral complexity of H.G. Wells' THE TIME MACHINE ... May well leave readers with some soul-searching questions about nature's changing environment that resonate long after the cover is closed.' (Publisher's Weekly)

INTERSTELLAR PIG: 'Sleator's science fiction story is compelling on first reading - but stellar on the second ... raises enough questions to keep readers thinking - and wondering - well past the last page.' (School Library Journal)

THE NIGHT THE HEADS CAME: '... A thought-provoking, page-turning exploration of alien life forms.' (Booklist)

THE BOXES: 'William Sleator has git on another winner with this entertaining, pacy yarn.' (Birmingham Evening Mail, July 2001)

Présentation de l'éditeur

Annie's Uncle Marco goes on one of his mysterious trips, leaving her in charge of two sealed boxes on one condition: she must not open either one while he is away. But she is tempted...and soon she has unleashed the unspeakable. The creatures inside the box are crab-like and grotesque. And they possess a power Annie could never have imagined: the power to transmute time."Sleator is the master of the creepy-crawly, and his inventiveness is at full power here." -- The Horn Book
