It was fun to read about the Tri. The building. The history. How it looked. The yellow paint. I would have loved to truly visit. Well, on a good day. Definitely not a mind-searing hot summer time like it is in the story. Three months earlier, the 40-storey tower on the outskirts of London, built by esteemed architect Anthony Royal, is the epitome of chic, modern living. Wealthy residents live on the top floors, and poorer residents live below. With amenities including a pool, gym, spa, supermarket and primary school, the occupants have little reason to leave the building beyond working hours and become increasingly isolated from the outside world. Laing, who moves onto the 25th floor after his sister dies, begins a sexual relationship with single mother Charlotte Melville and becomes a father figure to her son, Toby. Laing also befriends documentary filmmaker Richard Wilder and his pregnant wife Helen, who live in a low-level apartment with their children. While Laing leads a physiology class in examining a severed head, a student named Munrow faints and is given a precautionary brain scan. The next day, Laing is taken to the 40th-storey penthouse to meet Royal, who invites him to a party thrown by his snobby wife, Ann. Nik and Norva are thrill seeking teenagers, with crushes, love for music, sarcastic remarks and an eagerness to solve mysteries.

Besonders gut gefallen hat mir die Atmosphäre, die durch die einmalige Kulisse geschaffen wird. Ich kann nur irgendwie gar nicht so richtig sagen, was genau mich nun so verzaubert hat. Das Feeling in diesem Buch hat‘s mir einfach total angetan.I protagonisti sono simpatici, anche se forse run po' troppo "giovani", e l'ambientazone originale, il caso pieno divertente e pieno di piccoli colpi di scena. Però a colpirmi maggiormente è stato lo stile: veloce, ritmato e ironico. I loved the community and how tight-knit the Tri was. Or well, we just mostly see one part of the Tri, but what we see there is a great sense of community.

Summer in London is hot, the hottest on record, and there's been a murder in THE TRI: the high-rise home to resident know-it-alls, Nik and Norva. Who better to solve the case? Armed with curiosity, home-turf knowledge and unlimited time - until the end of the summer holidays anyway.Reading books to children has lots of amazing benefits - even when they're learning to read (or can read) themselves. We think you'll love sharing these great titles. In 2013, Wheatley started looking into who held the rights to the book, which led him to Thomas. [13] Wheatley has remarked: "The book makes as much sense now as it did then. It was written in the '70s, projecting itself into a near future, but we live in that future now. We're almost in a new version of the '70s." [14]

Principal photography began in July 2014 in Belfast, [5] primarily in the seaside resort town of Bangor, County Down. [20] [21] A raccontarci l'indagine è Nik Alexader che assieme alla sorella Norva forma un brillante duo di detective pre adolescenti. Nik è sveglia, intelligente e un' acuta osservatrice e amante delle liste, il che da alla scrittura un impronta molto personale e piacevole. Tartaglione, Nancy (5 February 2014).

I did however really enjoy the dynamic of thr sisters relationship and the community that surrounded them on The Tri. This was a fun middle grade mystery, it was a bit slow in pace and I did struggle a bit to get invested. Author Luke Palmer introduces his new book, Play (Firefly Press) about four boys growing up together, the challenges, the friendships, and what hap...
