Кошачий чердак – необычная книга, которая совмещает в себе две формы повествования – текстовую и графическую. Первая история происходит в наши дни, в Швеции, где вместе с мамой живет 12-летняя девочка Мона. Их домом стал дедушкин офис, так как мама, сменив несколько мест, осталась без работы и заработка. Уже два года ее муж считается пропавшим без вести, и женщина тяжело переживает происходящее. Мона и мама вынуждены прятаться, когда в офис приходят посетители. Девочка сильно скучает и по отцу, и по подруге, которая переехала в Шанхай. Она чувствует себя одинокой и потерянной. Однажды дедушка предлагает ей подработать – помочь ему разобраться с вещами в старинном особняке, который ему поручили продать клиенты. На старой вилле Бельвю явно обитают призраки – Мона понимает это, едва переступив порог дома. Готическая атмосфера виллы таит много тайн и загадок. Кем были ее хозяева? Почему нигде нет их фотографий? И почему дедушка так странно себя ведет и так хорошо ориентируется внутри дома? Вторая история – это рассказ дедушки о его детстве во время Второй мировой войны. История этого дома представлена, в основном, в виде цветных иллюстраций – мы словно оказываемся внутри фильма и видим все глазами дедушки много лет назад. Примечательно, что цвет в книге появляется при упоминании о прошлом виллы Бельвю, а настоящее время, где живет Мона, – черно-белое, как печаль девочки. Как читать книгу В книге есть и тайна из прошлого, и призрак, и история о войне, и история о дружбе и предательстве, о любви и потерях, и неожиданная развязка. Часть истории (рассказ дедушки Моны) передана в виде иллюстраций с минимум текста. Читателям предлагается додумать, дорассказать по прекрасным иллюстрациям эту историю, понять, что осталось «за кадром». В графической части книги много отсылок к произведениям живописи – Хильмы аф Клинт, Хелены Шерфбек, Винсента ван Гога. Можно попробовать найти их все. Для кого эта книга Для детей в возрасте от 11 лет. Для взрослых, которые любят красивые книги и ностальгические истории.
