A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'This idiosyncratic short novel is full if information about New York and its landmarks, including Ground Zero' -- Sunday Times

'Filled with joy, sweet sadness, and a triumph of spirit. Lovely' - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

'With delicate insight and humor, Fleming cleverly unites people - and goats - from vastly different walks of life in an offbeat celebration of courage and individuality' --Booklist (starred review)

'A lively yet tender story' -- Publishers Weekly

'The Goat takes a concept easiest told as zany and madcap, but instead wisely presents it as perfectly ordinary. If Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach made a kids' movie... this would certainly be their script' -- National Post

'At turns funny and affecting, this [is an] ingeniously knitted ensemble piece for 9- to 12-year-olds' -- Wall Street Journal

'Eccentricities abound, but so do charm and warm humor. Perfect for tweens who prefer quiet, character-driven novels and fans of E.L. Konigsburg' --School Library Journal

'This is a book with much to say; one that will leave the reader with a lot to think about... It celebrates the healing power of friendship. It is, very movingly, about loss. But most of all it says that life is wonderful and goes on despite its many setbacks and tragedies' --Magic Fiction Since Potter (blog)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

'If Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach made a kids' movie' National Post

A child named Kid, a dog named Cat, and a goat who lives on the roof...

A blind skateboarding writer, an old man who can't speak (and his wife), a smartly dressed non-hamster-owner, plus Kid and her parents, are all apparently sharing their Manhattan apartment building with a mountain goat.

But in all the wonders and marvels of New York City, who has time to see this impossible goat? How did the goat even get there? And is the goat really capable of something a little like magic?

In this tender and hilarious tale of a misplaced animal, a road trip, and a Broadway show, neighbours who were previously strangers may find the goat is just what they needed...
