Synopsis

Nella non proprio ridente cittadina di Wolverhampton, Inghilterra, un impresario di nuova generazione ha avuto la geniale nonché terrificante idea di creare un Parco degli Orrori. La trovata si deve a Sir Desrius – meglio noto come “Stregone” – un uomo crudele e senza scrupoli, il quale non ha esitato a imprigionare mostri e creature fatate da ogni angolo del globo pur di popolare le costose attrazioni del parco. Per anni, ormai, i mostri sono stati costretti a subirne i soprusi. Eppure, da qualche tempo, fra i mostri si comincia a parlare di ribellione: un sentimento che sfocerà in una rivoluzione che vedrà scheletri, vampiri, fantasmi e tanti altri “mostri” lottare per il riconoscimento dei propri diritti. Dedicato a chi è vittima di pregiudizi, "La Rivolta degli Scheletri nell’Armadio" è una favola che parla dritto al cuore di piccoli e grandi.

About this title

Review

I expected Greybones to make me laugh (and it did, outright), but I didn't expect the myriad other reactions the book drew from me: genuine, heartfelt smiles, tears, the sense of being placed into the story and part of it, the monsters and outcasts a new family. A rollicking good read for children, but also a surprisingly poignant one for adults. - Flavia Brunetti, author

... a balanced writing, weighed at every step and syllable, descriptive to the point of leaving nothing to the imagination while nourishing it at the same time... - Aphorism

A dystopian reality where tooth-and-scale monsters are discriminated against by 'normal' humans, inhabitants of the city that has become 'the grayest and scariest in the United Kingdom'. - Telefree

A reading for children and adults alike. - Freedom of Words

An enjoyable read supported by numerous references to well-known films, readings or comics. - All Books

Monsters seen as metaphors of 'diversity' are not new in children's literature, but in this book they take on a more 'human' dimension, each with their own faults, weaknesses, their delusions and their sense of justice. - The Book Nibbler

The relentless prose and the constant jokes make it a smooth and fun read, and you become easily attached to the characters of the monsters, with their human qualities and defects. - For Kids

The narration is complemented by the skilful artwork that accompanies each chapter. - Librimanent
