Wonderful story...for all ages!

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2016

I am in the process of reading everything written by Marc Thil which is available on Kindle. While written for young French readers, they are ideal for students of the language.
Of course no book is good for that purpose if it is not well written and does not draw you in. M Thil's works do exactly that. They are highly entertaining and present a good style of spoken and written French while doing so.
I am a very advanced learner with many decades of French studies but I still find them useful for keeping sharp. Any student beyond first semester, however, should be able to read and profit by them. They are straightforward, primarily in present tense, the you will see a conditional or past perfect at times. In any case, no difficult or rare forms but rather good everyday usage..

The story is linear and has only a few characters making it easier to understand. The length is just fine so you don't feel overwhelmed.

J'aime ces livres écrits par Marc Thil. Ceci est le quatrième que je l'ai lu. Chaque fois que je reçois un nouveau qu'ils ont me commander plusieurs exemplaires de plus pour ma classe française. Je lis français au niveau secondaire maintenant. Ces livres ont vraiment aidé à me y arriver.

I highly recommend this book, as well as everything I have read by Marc Thil. His books are written for young people, but they are perfect for all ages. This is a wonderful story about a lost dog and the clever decisions that the kids make to get the dog back to its owner. English speakers trying to improve their French reading skills will learn vocabulary and grammar painlessly from an author who writes beautifully in French. And young people will learn how to make good life decisions from an author who understands and cares a lot about youth. Wonderful writing and wonderful book!

Another good book by Marc Thil. Once again three children are beset by an evil doer who thwarts their desire to return a lost dog back to it's rightful owner. As they say the story is in the telling what a delightful world the author spins. One where good knights and a dragon exist simultaneously, but where we are shown how the dragon may be defeated. Adults be warned: children are not stupid, so watch out! In the spirit of inclusivity, a 4th child joins the ranks with hopes for a good life full of friends, or at least three. I am sure young readers will enjoy this story.

J'adore ce livre parce que la histoire est très innocente. La lecture est facile et agréable, et les personnages sont sympas. Marc Thil est un bon écrivant. Je lirais tous ses livres.
