Wolf Siren
i liked wolf siren because it was spin on a childhood story so it was nostalgic in some parts while having a new storyline. the ending felt a bit rushed and unexplained but i did like the twist.

Wolf Siren
I liked the overall storyline if the book. My favorite character was definitely Aerona (Red the main characters younger sister) she was the most relatable person. I liked the way she would always stand up for herself and others. I thought the ending was a bit disappointing it felt like there should have been more to it after the events that happened in the chapter before. The writing style of Wolf Siren was very creative and it had an original and magical twist on the fairytale of little red riding hood. the book was overall very good apart from the ending.

I enjoyed this book because it was very interesting and pulled me in My favorite character was Andrew because he is very determined and never gives up. I also liked Jonesy ( Andrews friend) because she cared for Andrew and seemed kind.

Birdie
My favorite character is definitely Julie as she is very friendly and king to Birdie despite their differences and she stands up for her despite her parent wishes. My least favorite moment was when Birdies teacher didn't allow her to be part of the lesson and denied the fact that Birdie was actually the smartest in the room and I quite like Birdies aunt standing up for her despite her reservations earlier in the book. The person with the most change and growth in this book is definitely Mrs. Winterbottom her reluctant acceptance of Birdie and then her outright love really helped Birdie open up to others and made her more confident speaking up for herself. I quite liked the ending as it really shows how anybody can belong if they try enough and the villagers realization of Mr. duke and Birdie being helpful and vital for them really shows how quick they where to judge and how wrong that was for everyone involved. I enjoyed the themes of fitting in and finding your place however I wouldn't necessarily read this book if it wasn't given to me.
