Wolf Siren
This book is about a girl called Red and she lives near a forest with her mum, sister and brother. One day, she is given the revelation of a big secret so she has to cope in the town. She has to show people that magic isn’t so bad.
The main character was Red. I thought she was very brave. My favourite character would have to be the grandma as she is wise and very nice.
I really liked this book because it’s like red riding hood but with a good twist and I thought it gripped me.

Birdie
I found the book birdie a really interesting one, as she was a girl of colour who got bullied for it . I also really liked the time setting it as it gave it more understanding and depth rather then it being set in the 21st century. Overall I really enjoyed this book and will look for more similar stories or other novels by the author.

Birdie
Birdie lived in an orphanage in Leeds with a lot of kids and Mrs Dudley. Then one day her aunt in Barrington Dale says she will look after Birdie. But people are mean to her in the new home but she makes new and unexpected friends.
The main character was Birdie. I liked her character as she has experienced a lot but keeps on pushing on. My favourite character was Mr Duke because he was very kind and I love horses.
I really enjoyed this book because I thought it was interesting I liked the storyline. I also loved some of the cliff hangers in bits of the story.

Birdie
This book is about a young girl called Birdie. She lives in a foster home in Leeds with the lovely foster carer Mrs Dudley. One day, she goes on a train to a place called Barrington Dale because her Aunt Winterbottom has accepted to look after her. However, living in this new place isn’t so easy especially when you look different to everyone else. But Birdie finds a special friend, the pit pony Mr Duke. She goes on a journey of discovering friendship, love and seeing that how you look, doesn’t define who you truly are.
The main character in this book was Birdie. I really liked her character as she is very bubbly, joyful, kind and loyal. I liked Aunt Winterbottom’s character as well as even though at the start, she didn’t seem like someone likeable, you understand why and grow to like her. My favourite character has to be Mr Walter. He is such a jolly, kind and fatherly character towards Birdie, even after everything he has had to go through.
I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was fantastically written. I think it teaches you a lot about not judging someone by how they look and that you are enough.

Wolf Siren
Oh my gosh I don’t have the words to explain how amazing this book is. It may have snuck its way into my top 5 books !
It’s based on the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood and it’s a bit of an explanation as to why she believed her grandmother was the wolf although it isn’t directly linked . It has quite a few unexpected pot twists and I would one hundred percent recommend to everyone.

Wolf Siren
This book is about a young girl called Red. She lives in a town with her little sister Aerona, little brother Luki and mum on the outskirts of a forest. However, the town and mayor keep themselves separate from the forest world and what they think is magic as wolves live in there and will target every male. However, Red feels a special connection to the forest and wolves that she thinks only her and her Grandmother have. Red had recently started her monthly cycle but to her and her mum, it meant nothing. But when in the wood with Ms Blaeberry ( who is apparently a witch and holds magic) her body transforms into a wolf. Supposedly, wolf women only exist in fairy tales, but do they? How much will Red have to pay to show that nature isn’t as scary as it seems?
The main character in this book is Red. I really liked her character as she was extremely determined, kind, brave, loyal and smart. She always looked out for her family, the forest and her wolves. My favourite character in this book would have had to be Aerona. She is very sweet, kind, caring and creative and is always by Red’s side.
I really enjoyed this book. It was extremely captivating and I liked how it was based on the traditional fairy tale “ Little Red Riding Hood”. I think the story line was very smart and I loved how many twists and turns the story took. It was an extremely excellent book, one of my favourites.
