The review in English is below the Dutch oneTom zijn boeken zijn altijd fantastisch om te lezen en de illustraties zijn super。De braniebende is ook weer zo'n boek。 Een boek waarbij je denkt ik lees even een hoofstuk en ineens ben je er een paar verder。Het boek is eigenlijk een （eenzijdige） briefwisseling van Frenkie aan zijn vriendin uit de stad waar hij hiervoor woonde。 Hij schrijft haar elke maand een brief。 Hij heeft genoeg te schrijven， want er gebeuren bijzondere dingen in bizar。 Gelukkig m The review in English is below the Dutch oneTom zijn boeken zijn altijd fantastisch om te lezen en de illustraties zijn super。De braniebende is ook weer zo'n boek。 Een boek waarbij je denkt ik lees even een hoofstuk en ineens ben je er een paar verder。Het boek is eigenlijk een （eenzijdige） briefwisseling van Frenkie aan zijn vriendin uit de stad waar hij hiervoor woonde。 Hij schrijft haar elke maand een brief。 Hij heeft genoeg te schrijven， want er gebeuren bijzondere dingen in bizar。 Gelukkig maalt Frenkie snel nieuwe vrienden die hem helpen met het mysterie。 Tom his books are always good read and the illustrations are wonderful。 A book which is an easy read。 When you think I am going to read one chapter， somehow you end up reading more chapters。 Frenkie writes letters to his best friend after he moved about the strange things happening in his new home town。Great read with action， humor， amazing illustrations and things which point to Tom himself。Jeugdboek met actie， humor， toepasselijke illustraties en leuke verwijzingen naar Tom zijn leven。 。。。more

Bedtime reading with my son。 Lots of silliness and action-packed - the pictures throughout are great， and we both enjoyed this！

My son would probably have given this 4 stars。 I just didn’t feel that same feeling I got from his other books。 It was a really loooooong book， at least it felt it！ I’m glad we have finished it， it felt like we were never going to get to the end。 The plot was lacking with this book。 There was no magic， spark or twists and turns that we had from his other books， no cliff hangers。 The characters didn’t really come to life either。 I didn’t get an attachment or warm feeling to any of them。 Even the My son would probably have given this 4 stars。 I just didn’t feel that same feeling I got from his other books。 It was a really loooooong book， at least it felt it！ I’m glad we have finished it， it felt like we were never going to get to the end。 The plot was lacking with this book。 There was no magic， spark or twists and turns that we had from his other books， no cliff hangers。 The characters didn’t really come to life either。 I didn’t get an attachment or warm feeling to any of them。 Even the main character。 The ending felt really rushed。 I liked how Dad was brought in to the story， and the individual super hero powers were creative and fun。 It was just a bit bland。 The one siding letter style also felt a bit tedious。 Love the author and his other books。 This one just didn’t do it for me。 My 7 year liked it， though he did mention it wasn’t as good as the author’s other books。 。。。more

A great book for LKS2。 Lots of simple humour that the kids loved hearing and the letter format of the book makes it a really good book as well。 Can't beat the Creakers though I'm afraid。 A great book for LKS2。 Lots of simple humour that the kids loved hearing and the letter format of the book makes it a really good book as well。 Can't beat the Creakers though I'm afraid。 。。。more

Nice and cute read that got my -hopefully- out of my reading slump 💖💖It was nice meeting franky and his danger gang 💖

A fun， gross story about 8 kids who develop strange abilities （well， in one case， a pet does。。。） after a mysterious （and smelly） storm in the wonderfully named town of Freaky。 What I really liked is that much of the book is about the kids’ developing powers （which they kind of discover by accident） and their their growing friendship。 Reminded me of the Goonies （8 kids/kids on bikes） and Round the Twist （the gross bits）。 Would love to see more books in this series， and have ordered ‘The Creakers’ A fun， gross story about 8 kids who develop strange abilities （well， in one case， a pet does。。。） after a mysterious （and smelly） storm in the wonderfully named town of Freaky。 What I really liked is that much of the book is about the kids’ developing powers （which they kind of discover by accident） and their their growing friendship。 Reminded me of the Goonies （8 kids/kids on bikes） and Round the Twist （the gross bits）。 Would love to see more books in this series， and have ordered ‘The Creakers’ by Tom Fletcher which looks lots of fun too。 。。。more

Very good story

Katy Noyes ，

Likeable hero， great hero format。3。5 stars。A good idea here。 Boy moves to a new town and writes a letter home every month to a （girl） friend。 Potential spooky and crazy goings on， a new school with bullies and friends and a family including an inventor - these letters are going to get very interesting！It felt a bit 'Eerie Indiana'， very reminiscent of the series I enjoyed as a child。 And while children will probably love it， it was a little trite， forced and silly。Frankie misses his best friend， Likeable hero， great hero format。3。5 stars。A good idea here。 Boy moves to a new town and writes a letter home every month to a （girl） friend。 Potential spooky and crazy goings on， a new school with bullies and friends and a family including an inventor - these letters are going to get very interesting！It felt a bit 'Eerie Indiana'， very reminiscent of the series I enjoyed as a child。 And while children will probably love it， it was a little trite， forced and silly。Frankie misses his best friend， but soon has plenty to tell her about， with regular monthly updates involving his mum's inventions and new friends at school - nappies， weather rays， shrinking/growing， giant sharks。。。 it's all the sort of things the age group will enjoy。 I gave this to my 10-year-old to read。 He finished it very quickly before passing it back to me and declared it "alright"。 I then read it and agreed。 It's not exceptional， it has moments of humour， the story is formulaic， characters a little bland， he self-refers to his band。 Lots is squeezed into one book， there are messages about friendship and teamwork。It's passable， it's fun， it's a bit gross， it's episodic。 It'll keep them entertained。 For ages 8-12。 。。。more

Wat een geweldig leuk verhaal， echt perfect voor achtjarigen！

Another stellar Tom Fletcher novel read with my kiddo。 A different style to The Creakers and The Christmasaurus as this one is written as a series of letters， but it exposed my kiddo to a different writing style。 She said at the end that she'd like to read another book from the POV of Franky's girlfriend Dani so she could get to know her！ Lol！Great mummy-reading！ Enjoyable， creative and entertaining！ Another stellar Tom Fletcher novel read with my kiddo。 A different style to The Creakers and The Christmasaurus as this one is written as a series of letters， but it exposed my kiddo to a different writing style。 She said at the end that she'd like to read another book from the POV of Franky's girlfriend Dani so she could get to know her！ Lol！Great mummy-reading！ Enjoyable， creative and entertaining！ 。。。more

It's danger time！ When Franky moved to Freaky weird things started to happen after a mysterious green storm。 Eric started to turn into a shark when water touched him。 Mollie could become invisible and Charlie had a freaky hamster as a pet！ But other strange events started to happen and the danger gang had to try to stop the evil。I am a sucker for Tom Fletcher's books！ I am honest， I haven't read one so far that I didn't like。 The Danger Gang was written in a funny way and also includes the reade It's danger time！ When Franky moved to Freaky weird things started to happen after a mysterious green storm。 Eric started to turn into a shark when water touched him。 Mollie could become invisible and Charlie had a freaky hamster as a pet！ But other strange events started to happen and the danger gang had to try to stop the evil。I am a sucker for Tom Fletcher's books！ I am honest， I haven't read one so far that I didn't like。 The Danger Gang was written in a funny way and also includes the reader。 I liked that the whole book was written in a letter style， however， I wished to hear more from Dani。 The chapters are sometimes a bit long， but I enjoyed reading one every night before I went to sleep。 The illustrations by Shane Devries are， as always， amazing！ They fit the story so perfectly and always appear at the right moment。 All these illustrations make the story come to life even more。The story is quite intriguing。 You always wait for something freaky to happen。 I am sure that kids love this book！ It also tells an amazing story about friendship and how strong such a connection can be。 Basically， no matter what your talents and weaknesses are， friends will have your back all the time。 I also loved the connections to Fletcher's other books like The Creakers。I can really recommend this book。 It is a nice read and engaging。 Kids will love it as well， but more grown-ups will too！ I mean it's danger time all the time！ 。。。more

Toen Tom Fletcher onder de vleugels van Billy Bones werd genomen met zijn Nederlandstalige debuut De Kerstmisaurus was meteen duidelijk dat we met een echte klepper in het jeugdboekenaanbod te maken hadden。 Zijn vervolgboek scoorde evenzeer en met de Knerpers bevestigde hij nog maar eens zijn kunnen。 Dit keer mocht ik opnieuw een avontuur van zijn hand doornemen dat luistert naar de naam “De Braniebende”。Wie een boek van Fletcher in handen krijgt， weet dat het niet van de dunste exemplaren zijn。 Toen Tom Fletcher onder de vleugels van Billy Bones werd genomen met zijn Nederlandstalige debuut De Kerstmisaurus was meteen duidelijk dat we met een echte klepper in het jeugdboekenaanbod te maken hadden。 Zijn vervolgboek scoorde evenzeer en met de Knerpers bevestigde hij nog maar eens zijn kunnen。 Dit keer mocht ik opnieuw een avontuur van zijn hand doornemen dat luistert naar de naam “De Braniebende”。Wie een boek van Fletcher in handen krijgt， weet dat het niet van de dunste exemplaren zijn。 Ook dit keer klopt hij zijn verhaal net onder de 450 pagina’s af。 Het grote lettertype， de creatieve bladspiegel en de regelmatige onderbreking van de tekst door de wondermooie zwart-wit illustraties， zorgen er echter voor dat je als lezer in geen tijd het boek hebt uitgelezen。 Het taalgebruik is heel laagdrempelig en zal voor de gemiddelde lezer vanaf zo’n acht jaar perfect verteerbaar zijn。 Het sterke aan Fletchers schrijfsels is echter dat de bovenleeftijd heel wat verder reikt dan het doorsnee jeugdboek。 Zelfs een wat ouder publiek van bijna twintigers en ver daarboven zullen ongetwijfeld smullen van wat hij te vertellen heeft。 “De Braniebende” is opgebouwd als een soort dagboek， we krijgen maand per maand de briefwisseling tussen het net verhuisde hoofdpersonage Frenkie en zijn achtergebleven beste vriendin Danika voorgeschoteld。 Daarin vertelt hij uitgebreid en met jeugdig enthousiasme welke bizarre avonturen （pun intended） die maand heeft beleefd。 Het charmante aan de vertelstijl is dat Fletcher erin slaagt om de jeugdige naïviteit en de ongebreidelde fantasie perfect in de verhaallijn te vatten。 Het voelt alsof je als lezer in het geheim mag meelezen met de brieven tussen de twee vrienden。 De auteur brengt het soort avontuur dat elke jeugdige tiener wel zou willen beleven en schetst een vriendengroep waar zowat iedere lezer zich in kan herkennen。 De pester， de streber， de lieverd of de durfal， allemaal zijn ze vertegenwoordigd in dit verhaal。 En wat meer is， elk heeft zo zijn of haar gebreken， die， éénmaal uitvergroot instaan voor het avontuurlijke fantasie-aspect van het geheel。 De speelse manier waarop thema’s als vriendschap， angsten en samenhorigheid in het geheel worden verwerkt maken het plaatje af。Dat Tom Fletcher kan schrijven mag ondertussen duidelijk zijn， maar het moet gezegd dat zijn boeken geenszins dezelfde impact en het zelfde succes zouden kennen zonder de samenwerking met illustrator Shane Devries。 Zijn tekeningen zorgen ervoor het boek ongekende hoogtes bereikt。 Van een simpele pentekening tot ware pareltjes van illustraties die zo uit een stripboek zijn weggehaald， zowat alles passeert de revue。 Om dan nog maar te zwijgen over het schitterende coverontwerp dat niemand onberoerd zal laten。Het lijkt erop dat alles wat uit de pen van Tom Fletcher vloeite meteen in goud verandert。 Na “De Kerstmisaurus” waren de verwachtingen hoog gespannen， maar hij lost ze telkens weer moeiteloos in。 Dit boek zal in elke boekenwinkel of bib nooit lang op de planken blijven staan， en terecht。 。。。more

George read this himself and loved it。 I read it after so he could talk about it。 I felt it wasn't as good as previous books but mainly because of the letter style。 The story was good and it got a thumbs up from George who enjoyed the letter style。 George read this himself and loved it。 I read it after so he could talk about it。 I felt it wasn't as good as previous books but mainly because of the letter style。 The story was good and it got a thumbs up from George who enjoyed the letter style。 。。。more
