County Shadows

King of Nothing
Such a great book. Despite the confusing use of slang, it’s a really good book. It is basically about a boy called Anton who starts to realise that his friends are a really bad influence on him. I think it was quite a heart-breaking at times as you see it a lot nowadays. Though if there is one thing I’ve learnt from this book: it is that it’s never too late to change.

The Final Year
Such a great book, there was a lot of emotion however, was still relatable. It has everything! Friendship troubles, drama and heart-breaking moments. I also loved the poetry aspect and the promotion of ‘using your voice’. Personally, I think it is a great entry for The Carnegies.
