adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. Knowledgable and fearless Vesper Holly leads her friends into adventure. Foiling the selfish efforts of her nemesis, Dr. Helviticus, is her aim and honor. (  ) wishgranted | Sep 12, 2006 |  Vesper Holly drags the ever-patient Brinnie to a fictional Eastern European nation during the late 1800s to find out the truth about an ancient myth that her father was investigating before he died. She brokers a peace agreement between warring ethnic tribes, outwits her arch-nemesis and recovers priceless artifacts. All in a day's work for Vesper Holly. The premise here is a bit weak, but a nicely-told adventure story. Brinnie still annoys me, but provides a striking contrast to reckless Vesper. Probably not the best option for empowered young heroines these days, but one of the few I remember from back in my youth. (  ) heidialice | Sep 6, 2006 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0440940184, Mass Market Paperback)It's 1872, and adventurous Vesper Holly and her guardian set out for the tiny country of Illyria, on a quest for its legendary treasure. But once Vesper and Brinnie arrive, they are plunged into a fierce struggle between rebel forces— and someone is out to kill the two of them! If anyone can triumph over those kind of odds, it's Vesper — one of Lloyd Alexander's most intrepid (and best-selling) heroines. "A story that moves at breakneck speed and is filled with delicious details Alexander is to be commended for his elegant writing, astute characterizations, and his presentation of an intelligent heroine." — Booklist, starred review "With its wonderfully exaggerated characters, tantalizing chapter endings, literate style, and witty repartee, the book must have been almost as much fun to write as it is to read." — The Horn Book(retirado da Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:05 -0400) A primeira ronda de testes foi já encerrada.
