Lluck - Rayborn, Tim

. .

Résumé :
The Qwyrk Tales continue in book 2, Lluck! All Qwyrk wanted was a few winter days of rest of and relaxation in the small town of Knettles in Yorkshire, but of course, it all goes wrong immediately. She wants to spend time and with her young human friend, Jilly, but Jilly and her not-so-imaginary friend blip have just met a remarkable boy named Lluck, who seems to be able to bend events to his favor. Lluck is on the run from some awful and obnoxious goblins. On top of that, Qwyrk meets a mysterious and beguiling woman, who's also looking for the boy. And in the dark, something wants Lluck for itself, but why? Lluck is the second in a series of four novels about the comic misadventures of a group of misfits at the edge of normal reality in modern northern England, a world of shadows, Nighttime Nasties, witchy magic, remarkable Indian Fae, would-be superheroes, a lazy Komodo dragon, and even more elves...though they do continue to be a bit silly. Described as a literary raconteur and a virtuoso, Tim Rayborn denies everything, but it's true that he's a versatile writer and an acclaimed musician. He's written dozens of books, appeared on more than forty recordings, plays scores of unusual instruments, and has visited five continents. Lluck is his second novel.
