Das Ende spitzt sich dafür sehr dramatisch zu und ist schon etwas heftig für ein Kinderbuch ab 9 Jahren. So we have a dead mother (and more dead people mentioned in passing), a supervillain, lots of mystery, and a few clichés (the principal for example fulfills all the clichés of a negative school principal). This adventure story is great to use with children in KS2 as there are lots of key messages and features that can be explored. I grew very fond of Evie as her warm-hearted and caring personality is shown towards the animals and humans.

Voor lezers van 10 jaar en ouder die houden van dieren en fantasie en van de boodschap dat je goed bent zoals je bent (en welke 10-plusser hoort dat niet graag? trigger warnings: loss of a parent (in the past), snakes, spiders and other scary animals, murder, kidnapping.It really gives you all the warm and fuzzy feelings when reading and have I mentioned the amazing illustrations? No missing or damaged pages, no tears, possible very minimal creasing, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Nähdäkseni "Eevin eläinmaailmassa" on runsaasti potentiaalia tulevaisuuden vinkkaushitiksi, joten enköhän ota tämän mukaani alakoululaisten vinkkauksiin aina kolmosluokista ylöspäin.

I liked the ending of this book, even though it is quite predictable, I think it rounds up the story pretty nicely.This superpower, running through generations of family on her mother’s side, has to be kept top secret because it puts her life in danger, just as her mum’s life had been endangered by the bond-like villain of the piece “Mortimer J Mortimer”.
