Met thema's als doping, de Apartheid en geslachtsveranderingen was de kinderserie Alfred J. Kwak misschien een tikkeltje controversieel. Maar daarnaast ging het programma ook over vriendschap, liefde en eerlijkheid. Keek jij vroeger naar Alfred J. Kwak? Dan herinner je je deze 17 dingen sowieso nog!

#56 A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett (1905) 37 points At eight, I found nothing as exciting as a poor mistreated orphan. Swoon! – Anna Ruhs I read this again fairly recently and couldn’t capture the sense of wonder that I had as a child, but refreshing the story in my mind was enough […]

Poor, uneducated people have always been obstinate in their selfish desire to ruin the contentment of those from more important social classes. Below are several Pelican books from the 1970s which deal with the decade's poverty, austerity and the blight of these self-centered people who relish being destitute. For example, The Poor and Other Invertebrates, published in 1974, made the following claims about the nation's impoverished: "[They] reproduce prolifically in 3 months rather than the conventional 9 months of properly evolved humans". "They intentionally contract diseases by manufacturing their own bacteria at home, which they smear onto their cheap linoleum floors [...] then roll around in it". "They burgle respectable citizen's homes, then play Bingo". In 1976, Scarfolk council dealt with the needy by taking away their autonomy and making them property of the state. Thousands of people below the breadline were requisitioned to be used as civic equipment such as street bollards and even sandbags in the case of flooding or terrorist bombings.
The Breadwinner By Deborah Ellis Series: The Breadwinner #1 Genre: Middlegrade contemporary Pages: 171 Publication date: September 2000 Since the Taliban took over Afghanistan, 11-year-old Parvana has rarely been outdoors. Barred from attending school, shopping at the market, or even playing in the streets of Kabul, the heroine of Deborah Ellis's engrossing children's novel The Breadwinner is trapped inside her family's one-room home. That is, until the Taliban hauls away her father and Parvana realizes that it's up to her to become the "breadwinner" and disguise herself as a boy to support her mother, two sisters, and baby brother. Likes: Parvana is a spunky eleven-year-old who is easy to love. Even though she constantly bickers with her siblings (because she’s forced to live in one room with them), she truly cares about them. When her father is arrested, Parvana is forced to find innovative ways to provide for her family. For an adult reader, this book is a quick read. It makes you grateful for everything you have. I’m happy that I don’t live in bombed-out ruins and that nobody I know has been arrested for owning books. My life is simple compared to Parvana’s. This is one of those stories that make you realize how much crap women have to put up with. Any woman who has ever lived in a Taliban-controlled area is a hero. Their laws are so restrictive that women can’t even take care of themselves. They’re not allowed to leave the house to get food or water without a man along for the trip. That’s stupid. When Parvana’s father is arrested, her mother and older sister either have to risk starvation by staying in the house, or risk arrest by leaving it. “When things get better and we grow up, we have to remember that there was a day when we were kids when we stood in a graveyard and dug up bones to sell so that our families could eat.” – The Breadwinner Dislikes: The second half of the book is much stronger than the first. Anyone who knows what “breadwinner” means can predict what’s going to happen. Once Parvana starts testing out different jobs, the plot becomes more unexpected. The Bottom Line: An educational, compelling story with a likeable heroine. I didn’t love it enough to continue with the series, but if you have tweens in your life, consider getting them this book. The Watsons Go To Birmingham—1963 By Christopher Paul Curtis Genre: Middlegrade historical fiction Pages: 210 Publication date: January 1995 Enter the hilarious world of ten-year-old Kenny and his family, the Weird Watsons of Flint, Michigan. There's Momma, Dad, little sister Joetta, and brother Byron, who's thirteen and an "official juvenile delinquent." When Momma and Dad decide it's time for a visit to Grandma, Dad comes home with the amazing Ultra-Glide, and the Watsons set out on a trip like no other. They're heading South. They're going to Birmingham, Alabama, toward one of the darkest moments in America's history. Likes: I guess this is technically a reread because a teacher read this novel to our class when I was in elementary school. I picked the book up again because I didn’t remember much about it. I knew I liked it. I vaguely remembered the rebellious older brother, the ugly car, and the scary thing that happens at the end. The rest of the story was very foggy in my mind. Now that I’ve reread it, I can confirm that the writing and character development are excellent! Seriously, this is the most believable middlegrade book I’ve read in a long time. It’s so realistic that I’m wondering if any of it is biographical. I know that the ending is based on a real event, but I’m not sure about the rest of the story. It seems real. Even though the Watsons are “weird,” they’re not cartoonish like the characters in some other children’s books. Each member of the Watson family has a huge personality. This leads to amusing mishaps. Overall, this is a story about sibling relationships. The three Watson kids are very different from each other. Byron is angry and impulsive. Kenny is quiet and nerdy. Joetta is the baby who gets all of the attention. The kids fight a lot. Then something unexpected happens. They need to work together to get through it. Sometimes, your family members are the only ones who know how to help you. “‘Now, your mother and I made a deal when we first got married that if either one of us ever watched the 'wunnerful, wunnerful' Lawrence Welk Show or listened to country music the other one got to get a free divorce.’” – The Watsons Go To Birmingham—1963 Dislikes: I remembered the funny and scary parts; I didn’t remember the plodding pace. The characters are amazing, but it takes them a very long time to do anything. They don’t even leave for Birmingham until over halfway through the book. I wish the plot had started earlier. I feel like I spent most of the book waiting for the Watsons to go to Birmingham. It took too long for the story to deliver what the title promised. The Bottom Line: This novel fully deserves its “modern classic” label. It has some of the most realistic characters I’ve come across in a kids’ book.
