Catalogue information
Lilly (about 9/10) and the dragon Hektor try to prevent an important magic book from falling into the hands of an evil wizard. The monotonous book's writing style resembles a movie script. The events are mostly in chronological order, but each chapter starts with a flash forward, which reduces the tension. The reader does not know what the characters are thinking. This is in line with the writing style of another book made into a film: 'My father is a detective' *. The fast, rushed atmosphere of the story is reflected in the illustrations. The black and white illustrations appear to have been made on a computer and contain little detail. Stars are drawn on all pages, this has a cheerful, but busy effect. There is little text on a page and the sentences are short. This makes the thick book read relatively quickly. In August 2009 the first film about Witch Lilly was released; on the cover and in the book are photos from that film. The author has written several books about Witch Lilly, some volumes for 7-year-olds and some volumes for children from 8 years. From approx. 8 years.
