review - Anne Plichota / Celine Wolf, "Oksa Pollock - The Unexpected"

Today is the 3rd March 2011 - the date on which Oksa Pollock comes officially to Germany. With great fanfare and much fanfare announces the Oetinger publishing the book "Oksa Pollock - at the Unexpected." If the whole mania right?

have to review purposes, I read the book a month ago and wrote my views in a book-media magazine for children. It was therefore in a blue package Oksa therefore red-blue-striped tie, press kit and a notepad. Interestingly, what has mobilized forces of the Oetinger publishing in advance for the book. The publisher has sent out review copies, 5000 - as a bound paperback books, even though the book itself appears as a hardcover.

The content is quickly described: the girl Oksa Pollock has a hard time. She just came with her family, moved consisting of father, mother and grandmother, from Paris to London, when suddenly strange things happen. You can object bewegen, ohne sie zu berühren und schleudert Feuerbälle aus ihren Händen. Zum Glück ist ihr bester Freund Gustave mit seiner Familie ebenfalls nach London gezogen und steht ihr bei. Gemeinsam mit ihm ergründet sie ihre neuen Kräfte, wehrt sich gegen den fiesen Mathelehrer der Schule und stößt bald auf ein unglaubliches Familiengeheimnis. Plötzlich steht Oksa vor der größten und gefährlichsten Herausforderung ihres Lebens.

Dem Buch wird ständig der Vorwurf gemacht, dass die Parallelen zu Harry Potter ziemlich groß sind. Ich weigere mich, dieser Aussage zuzustimmen. Oksa wächst in einer intakten Familie auf, es ist sogar ein drei Generations budget. Of course, it goes into a (regular) school and experienced teachers, of course, good and nasty. And there is a real and a magical world that come together in this first volume of the series is limited. The magic that carries Oksa, is quite different from that in the Potter books and is based not only on special forces, but also the effect of various substances in Granuk-spitting. Oksa that a special part of the ultimate heroine does, is in fantasy books is nothing new. There are many new magical creatures and even more new ideas. A second French Potter? Not at all.

I was so with the book meine Probleme. Zum allerersten Mal in meinem Leben habe ich mich zu alt für eine Geschichte gefühlt. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass das Buch für Kinder und Jugendliche wunderbar ist, aber die Zielgruppe beschränke ich auf 10 bis 15 Jahren. Was hat mich an dem Buch gestört, das eigentlich so voller wunderbarer Ideen ist? Die Sprache, der Stil und die Erzählperspektive, die ich für dieses Genre ungewöhnlich und passend gewählt fand. Und die Tatsache, dass die französischen Autorinnen Anne Plichota und Cendrine Wolf den Lesern jeglichen Spielraum nehmen, sich eigene Gedanken zu machen. Stellt Oksa eine Frage, wird sie sofort beantwortet. Und zwar sehr ausführlich, mit allen Vor- und Nachteilen und allen nur erdenklichen Consequences. Thus I came pretty quickly to the profile. Stylistically, I found the first fifty or below average, which bellowed and capitalized words are unbearable. Is that perhaps only in the translation? I do not know.

the other hand, the authors develop a strong, likeable, cheeky protagonist, which is accepting its responsibility and fight for their values and ideals: for their family, their friends and their new world. For a children's book that is a good thing.

The authors Anne Celine Plichota and Wolf have Oksa the first self-published published, but soon angered the fans demanded that they stay with a real publisher and her magical adventure became a bestseller. At the same time to the novel now appears the audio book. If the book in Germany triggered a hype, like many years ago, Rowling's books? I think not, because it is missing the point of all-age character
