The Final Year
Nostalgic, relatable, interesting
Personally, I really enjoyed this book. It felt as if you were Nate, the layout of it being poems was also something new to me. The only disadvantage to this is as I am a quick reader the book was finished very quick and I didn't really get to be immersed in the book and the story as much as I would have liked.
Overall, I think I would read another book from this author or this story again as for me it was a nice change from traditional layouts.

King of Nothing
3 words: relatable, realistic, immersive
Personally, I enjoyed the book and I think the relationships between characters were interesting. It was also quite immersive. The only thing that I felt let it down was the ‘saving his life’ from the blurb I expected something more exciting. But as it is aimed for kids I do understand the lack of detail and washing over the event.
Overall, I don't think I would this story again as for me it was a bit boring, I don’t really think is also not for my age group. But I believe my brother may be interested in the story.
