Shredderman de Wendelin Van Draanen

Shredderman

Autor Wendelin Van Draanen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 sep 2006

Notăm cu interes modul în care Wendelin Van Draanen reușește să transforme anxietățile sociale ale vârstei școlare într-o aventură tehnologică plină de umor. În volumul Shredderman, tema centrală este puterea pe care o oferă mediul online unui copil considerat „tocilar” și responsabilitatea care vine odată cu această influență. Considerăm că această perspectivă este extrem de relevantă pentru cititorii de 8-12 ani, care navighează zilnic între identitatea lor reală și cea digitală.

Subliniem evoluția protagonistului, Nolan, care trece de la statutul de victimă a hărțuirii la cel de „supererou cibernetic”. Atunci când site-ul său devine știre națională, Nolan se confruntă cu o dilemă clasică: să rămână protejat de masca anonimatului sau să își asume riscuri pentru a demasca o rețea de spionaj. Stilul narativ este alert, fragmentat vizual de ilustrațiile dinamice semnate de Brian Biggs, ceea ce face lectura extrem de accesibilă.

Copiii care au iubit Secret Identity de Carolyn Keene vor găsi aici aceeași fascinație pentru investigația digitală și demascarea răufăcătorilor, într-un context mult mai axat pe umor și pe viața cotidiană de elev. Față de tonul mai serios din The Running Dream sau misterele clasice din seria Sammy Keyes, Shredderman adoptă o abordare mai lejeră, dar la fel de profundă în analiza caracterului. Wendelin Van Draanen păstrează predilecția pentru personaje care nu se încadrează în tipare, oferind tinerilor cititori un model de curaj care nu depinde de forța fizică, ci de inteligență și integritate.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte copiilor care pasionați de tehnologie și aventuri urbane. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă optimistă asupra modului în care un „outsider” își poate găsi vocea și poate schimba comunitatea în bine. Este un amestec perfect de umor și suspans care încurajează responsabilitatea în mediul online, demonstrând că adevărații eroi sunt cei care au curajul să spună adevărul, chiar și fără o mască.

Extras

CHAPTER 1
BUBBA BIXBY


Bubba Bixby was born big and mean, full of teeth and ready to bite.

That's what my mom thinks anyway.

My dad says a boy isn't born bad—he grows into being bad.

I don't know who's right. What I do know is that Bubba Bixby's got rocky knuckles.

And killer breath.

Teachers are always telling him to use words instead of fists—they have no idea what they're saying! Bubba-breath can knock you out cold.

Ask Ian McCoy. It actually happened to him in the third grade. When Bubba shouted at him, Ian's eyes rolled up in his head.

His knees buckled.

Then he blacked out and bit the dirt.

We had to slap his cheeks like crazy to get him to wake up, and when he did, he sat up, then threw up.

My father thinks I shouldn't call Bubba "Bubba" like everyone else does. He thinks I should call him Alvin, which is his real name. I've told him that calling him Alvin will get me pounded. Mike McDermish got dared to do it once and was nothing but Mike-mush when it was over. Now it's "Sure, Bubba" and "You betcha, Bubba" whenever he talks to him.

My mom and dad used to try to get the school to do something about Bubba. They talked to teachers. They even talked to the principal, Dr. Voss, a bunch of times. Nothing changed.

Dad thinks Dr. Voss isn't assertive enough. Dr. Voss thinks I'm not assertive enough. She says that kids like Bubba help us get ready for life.

Now that I'm a fifth grader, my dad tells me not to worry about Bubba. He says that I've got a lot more on the ball than Bubba does, and that one day Alvin Bixby will be working for me.

But he's wrong on two counts. First, that's forever away. And second, I wouldn't hire Bubba in a million years.

I'd fire him.

Say . . . what if I could fire Bubba from school? Wouldn't that be cool? Just kick him out and tell him to never come back. I could eat lunch without him flipping over my tray. Play four-square without him hogging the ball. Line up for class without him taking cuts and shoving the rest of us back. Oh, yeah. School without Bubba would be a whole new place.

I have to admit that our teacher, Mr. Green, tries to keep Bubba in line, but Mr. Green's already got one full-time job teaching fifth grade, and my mom says it's hard for him to take on another in the middle of it.

Plus, Bubba's sly. So no matter how hard Mr. Green tries, Bubba gets away with stuff.

Like lying.

And cheating.

And stealing.

My magic-rub eraser is in Bubba's desk right now with the initials B.B. gouged into it. So are some of my colored pencils. And probably my favorite The Gecko and Sticky magazine and the Dinosaurs library book I keep getting a reminder on.

It's not just my stuff that gets stolen. Bubba takes things from everybody. Even his friends, Kevin and Max. Actually, I think he steals from them the most.

The only thing Bubba's ever given anyone is names. I used to be Nolan Byrd. Now I'm Byrd-the-Nerd.

Or just plain Nerd.

Jake is Bucktooth. Trey is Butthead. Marvin is Moron. Todd is Toad, Ian is Fizz, Jenni is Worm-lips, Trinity is Pony-girl, Kayla is Freckle, Sarah is Kiss-up . . . everyone's got two names: one from their parents and one from Bubba.

His names stick, too. If Bubba calls you something a few times, you'll hear it over and over again from everyone. Some people like their names. Like Brian Washington. Even the teachers call him Gap because he wants them to. He doesn't have a gap between his front teeth anymore, but Bubba called him that in second grade, and he hasn't been Brian since.

So that's Bubba. He calls you names. He steals your stuff. He breathes putrid fumes in your face.

And even though I've always wanted to do something about it, I could never figure out what. I'm half Bubba's size and don't exactly want to die in elementary school.

So I just eat lunch far away from him, make room when he's cutting in line, and let him call me Nerd.

It's not fair, but at least I'm still alive.
