I find this really hard to say but i could not finish this book. I think that it was mainly aimed at younger children.The writing was very immature and i feel like lots wasn't explained and the alzheimers was quite disregarded. But i think if you are a younger audience who struggles with anxiety this is for you .

I didn't really like this book: the layout of it, going from the present to the past and then at the end returning to the present day, didn't really stick out to me. Even though it's an interesting layout, it would've been even better if it started out as the past, then gradually going to the present day.

I hated this book. He went into no detail about the fact the main character's gran has Altzhimers. The whole book was written in a very childish way and there was next to no deatail about anything throughout the book. However, there were some acpects that i believe some younger readers may potentially enjoy. The consepts were put into language that young readers would be able to understand and would not be freaked out. Overall, i would not recogmend this book to people unless they enjoy kids books kr were a young reader themslve.

It was a nicely paced story that was easy to understand. Though I believe the issues presented in the book should have lasted until the end of the story rather than split into two parts

Wolf Siren
Wolf Siren is a story about Red, a 13 year old girl, who was always going off into the woods. She figures out that she can summon wolves and even change into one. But it all goes wrong when Caragh, the village's woodcutter, dissapears deep into the woods. I enjoyed reading this book because it showed feminism, when the men weren't allowed into the woods to avoid the risk of getting hurt by the wolves, and the fact that it is a remaster of the famous childrens' fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood".

I really enjoyed this book! I relate to the character's way of thinking and speaking which is probably why I enjoyed the writing style and didnt get bored and liked the complete ending, overal 8.5/10

This book is about teenage pregnancy, consent and abortion. I liked this book as it tells the story of Marnie getting pregnant without her consent, and does everything she can to try and abort the foetus.

Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody
I quite liked this book as it was quite funny and childish. It's about 3 friends going against the evil Pelicarnasus in their school. It's about friendship, working together but also bullying. I would recommend this book to anyone aged 7+.

Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody
This book was very young. I disliked the overall plot of the book because it didnt make a huge amount of sense. The plot was confusing, especially the story of how France actually ended up on his knee, as the author didnt go into a lot of detail on how his ancestor got cursed in the first place. I also disliked the fact that his friends could suposedly shoot fire from their sashes just because they were hall monitors. I believe that there was also a tiny bit of discrimination within the book, because the hall monitiors were all monitior lizards. I think the book would have been better if they had different animals as hall monitors as this would have promoted inclusivity more and show young children that anyone can do anything, and it does not depend on multiple factors, like where you come from or the colour of your skin. The book was definitely written for the age range that the rating said it was for and as a result it was not my cup of tea. It could have been made more appealing to older kids if they dive a bit deeper into the storyline more so that people can get some backround information. I also "zoned out" while reading it and did not pay the upmost attention to what was happening and who had done what. Overall, i would not recommend this book to someone unless they were very young themselves or had a younger sibling who they could read it to. Somebody who would enjoy this book would be a person who has a thing for childrens books and likes a clear at times but mainly confusing storyline. I would not be recommending this book to my friends for their own reading pleasure.

I liked this book overall and I thought the message about feminism and nature was very powerful. Also the fact that even young children can read the book is especially positive since most young girls around the age of 10 often experience identity issues, especially around puberty. I also liked how nature was linked into all this and how it showed the message that nature protects people who take care of each other

This book failed to keep my complete interest. Despite the context included in the story being very detailed, there was too much. It felt like reading a school textbook on the history of the development of schools. The book would be easier to read in a chronological order.

Popcorn was an intersesting read for me as it showed the experiences of a young person having anxiety. I enjoyed it as i have not read many books like this. It was also important how the book included a family member with dementia. It was nice to see how the boy coped with his experiences.

The Boy I Love
I loved this book so much due to the mixing of history and queer representation! However, i did cry (in public, unfortunately) in the end (no spoilers dw). Anyway, i could honestly reread this multiple times but if i could read this without knowing what happens next, i would.

I really liked this book as it showed what it was like in the past, and how the main character showed careness to the horse when others couldn't. This would be a perfect book for readers aged 9 or older who love animals (especially horses), and would do anything to protect them and show their love for them.

I was skeptical at first but it got really interesting quite quickly. I think it gave a new perspective on teenage pregnancy and i enjoyed the story and the way it moved. The art in it was very creative and i like when books have a deserving ending and all the protagonists are happy.

I cannot properly review this book as it is unsuitable to me. The story is better suited to a much younger audience.
