A buen ritmo, la autora nos adentra en los muros de Cimmeria, sus normas y sus clases durante buena parte de la historia. Tampoco escatima en detalles con sus personajes. Los alumnos de Cimmeria no caen en tópicos pues cuando menos lo esperes darán un giro inesperado y dejarán a la protagonista dudando hasta de su sombra.

Travelers Along the Way: A Robin Hood Remix (Remixed Classics #3)
by Aminah Mae SafiA ragtag band of misfits gets swept up in Holy Land politics in Travelers Along the Way by Aminah Mae Safi, a thrilling YA remix of the classic legend of Robin Hood.Jerusalem, 1192. The Third Crusade rages on. Rahma al-Hud loyally followed her elder sister Zeena into the war over the Holy Land, but now that the Faranji invaders have gotten reinforcements from Richard the Lionheart, all she wants to do is get herself and her sister home alive.But Zeena, a soldier of honor at heart, refuses to give up the fight while Jerusalem remains in danger of falling back into the hands of the false Queen Isabella. And so, Rahma has no choice but to take on one final mission with her sister.On their journey to Jerusalem, Rahma and Zeena come across a motley collection of fellow travelers—including a kind-hearted Mongolian warrior, an eccentric Andalusian scientist, a frustratingly handsome spy with a connection to Rahma's childhood, and an unfortunate English chaplain abandoned behind enemy lines. The teens all find solace, purpose and camaraderie—as well as a healthy bit of mischief—in each other's company.But their travels soon bring them into the orbit of Queen Isabella herself, whose plans to re-seize power in Jerusalem would only guarantee further war and strife in the Holy Land for years to come. And so it falls to the merry band of misfits to use every scrap of cunning and wit (and not a small amount of thievery) to foil the usurper queen and perhaps finally restore peace to the land.Praise for Travelers Along the Way:"Travelers Along the Way is the Robin Hood retelling I did not know I wanted.

Travelling memories: Deutschsprachige Kinder- und Jugendliteratur über die Flucht während des Nationalsozialismus und aus der DDR (Studien zu Kinder- und Jugendliteratur und -medien #15)
by Larissa Carolin JagdschianAufgrund der anhaltenden Fluchtbewegungen fordert Aleida Assmann zur Umstrukturierung national ausgerichteter Erinnerungskulturen auf, damit Flüchtlinge mehr an Erinnerungsprozessen partizipieren können. Diese Forderung greift die Studie am Beispiel der Untersuchung der topografischen und erinnerungskulturellen Darstellungen der Flucht in der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur auf, indem ein Modell des Gedächtnisses der deutschsprachigen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur entwickelt wird. Im Vordergrund stehen zwei historische Phasen: die Flucht während des Nationalsozialismus (1933–1945) und die Flucht aus der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik (1957–1989). Mit der vergleichenden Untersuchung von Exilromanen, realistischen ost- und westdeutschen Kinder- und Jugendromanen nach 1945, DDR-Mädchenromanen, zeitgeschichtlichen und geschichtserzählenden Romanen von u. a. Lisa Tetzner (Die Kinder aus Nr. 67), Kurt Held (Giuseppe und Maria), Erika Mann (A Gang of Ten), Peter Abraham (Die Schüsse der Arche Noah oder die Irrtümer meines Freundes Wensloff), Judith Kerr (Als Hitler das rosa Kaninchen stahl), Lilo Hardel (Karlas große Reise), Brigitte Birnbaum (Reise in den August), Karin König (Ich fühl mich so fifty-fifty), Mirjam Pressler (Malka Mai) und Klaus Kordon (Krokodil im Nacken) wird erstmals das Spektrum der literarischen Gedächtniskonstruktionen von der Flucht während des Nationalsozialismus und aus der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik abgesteckt. Die Studie zeigt in der Verknüpfung von Gedächtnis- und Raumkonzepten, dass sich im Gedächtnis der deutschsprachigen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur die literarischen Gedächtniskonstruktionen über Flucht als „travelling memory“ (Erll 2011) ausgebildet haben. Damit trägt die Studie zur Theoriebildung literaturwissenschaftlicher Gedächtniskonzepte in der Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung bei.
