Lockwood & Co: The Hollow Boy: Book 3 (Lockwood & Co., 3)

Product Information

I'd have to reread the Bartimaeus series to be sure, but I seem to remember him doing the same there. It's something a lot of MG books have to deal with, because for the most part, kids need space to have adventures.

The only thing that I'm hoping does not happen with upcoming books is a love relationship between Lockwood and Lucy. Favorite Quote: "It was a funny thing about being an agent, something Lockwood had once said: you were admired and loathed in equal measure. We could probably get a lot more kids to read if all middle grade books were this exciting, spine-chilling, and intriguing! Part of this is the little details - Lucy uses the word "chambermaid" once, and also mentions that a character is wearing "petticoats", and nobody ever uses a cellphone or computer.Without preamble, he'd taken George and me up to the landing, opened the forbidden door, and shown us a little of the truth. Waktu pertama beli buku ini yang langsung menarik perhatianku adalah terjemahan judulnya: Pemuda Berongga.

As for Lucy, her inner turmoil gets a good number of passages, but it’s told in a delicate, natural way; it’s easy to empathize with her feelings at her estrangement from her family (and even a bit from her friends, too), her confusion at her growing powers, and with the same old painful crush that, at one point or another in life, has made real fools out of all of us. It's possible this is character bias because the story is from Lucy's perspective, but it's also possible I don't care.

Stroud lives in St Albans, Hertfordshire, with his two children, Isabelle and Arthur, and his wife Gina, an illustrator of children's books. In daylight, you were an unwelcome intrusion into everyday life, a symbol of the very chaos that you kept at bay.

At the end of the last book— The Whispering Skull—Lockwood finally relented and let her and George in. THE HOLLOW BOY is the third novel in the series, following the tales of Anthony Lockwood and his associates; a team of ghost busters!

series to get the most out of this one, as snippets fall into place from previous elements of the earlier two books. The books in this series are The Amulet of Samarkand, The Golem's Eye, and Ptolemy's Gate, his first books to be published in the United States. In May 1999, Stroud published his first children's novel, Buried Fire, which was the first of a line of fantasy/mythology children's books.
