Der 217 Seiten lange Debütroman von Tom Moorhouse erzählt vom Leben der Schermäuse am großen Fluss, den sie Sinethis nennen. Es ist sowohl die Geschichte von Sylvan, der mit seinen drei Geschwistern die heimatlichen Gefilde verlässt, um einen sicheren Ort zu suchen, als auch eine Analogie zum Erwachsenwerden von Jugendlichen.Moorhouse hat, gerade am Anfang, einen sehr bildhaften Stil, der das Leben der Schermäuse und ihre Mythologie als Flusssänger verdeutlicht. Für mich waren dieseLovely story of our wildlife from the riverbank. Great adventure with just the right amount of tension for young readers that will leave them itching for the next book to find out what other adventures Sylvan will have to overcome.
Rich, genuine and warm-hearted, 'The River Singers' is such a lovely book. Moorhouse, as evidenced by this book and also the talk I was privileged to hear him give at the FCBG Conference in 2015, knows the riverside world very well. In this, his debut novel, we are with the River Singers - a family of water voles who live on the side of the river. The presentation of the water vole's world is beautifully done; everything feels right. In fact, I think that idea of feeling is key when it comes to

I came to this via a slightly circuitous roue in that my interest was piqued by hearing Shirley Henderson read some excerpts on radio 4 Extra.

Wir singen mit ihm ein Lied, so schnell wie Gedanken, so süß wie Äpfel, so kurz wie der Tag. Wir sind Fluss- Sänger, und wir gehören ihm.(Seite 216)Ein schönes Kinderbuch, von dem Autor Tom Moorhouse, über eine Mäusefamilie die an einem großen Fluss wohnt.Sylvan eines von vier Schermäusekindern will endlich die Welt entdecken, ein Abenteuer erleben.
I really enjoyed this book, it reminded me of Watership Down and Animals of Farthing Wood. I agree with the 9+ reading age, not that younger children wouldn't be able to read it. Just the fact that it is a little upsetting in places, I am still emotionally scarred from watching the cartoon adaptation of Watership Down when I was 7. It is however a great story of survival, family and friendship.
