I really liked this book because I like the twist on the original fairytale and the feeling of fantasy and magic being drawn to the woods because I also like exploring forest places. I also liked this book. because I liked how it showed types of disabilities in people because red has a visual impairment according to the author Beth O’Brien so I like how it was very inclusive and how it conquered stereotypes that people with blindness or visual impairment cannot do things I really enjoyed reading this, especially the parts where red and Areona turned into wolves for the first time I thought it was a really good sort of plot twist and how we figured out that the mayor was against everyone and killed Caragh I’m sabotage the village against wolves and the woods convincing everyone it was evil but overall this was a really good read and I thoroughly enjoyed it

The Boy I Love
"The Boy I Love" is a moving historical drama set during WWI, but while the emotional premise is strong, I personally found the execution a bit confusing. To be honest, it felt like the different parts of the story didn't really link together well, which made the plot feel scattered and hard to stay fully engaged at times. However, the book still does a good job of capturing the atmosphere of the war and the bravery it took for people to be themselves during such a difficult time in history.

Wolf Siren
Wolf Siren is a powerful and atmospheric story that feels like a modern dark fairytale. I loved how the book explores the idea that everyone has a "hidden strength" or a wild side inside them. The main character’s journey is all about self-discovery and learning to embrace who you really are, even if it scares others. The writing makes the forest feel alive and mysterious. It’s a short but intense read that reminds us that being "good" doesn't mean being weak.

Twenty Four Seconds from Now
Twenty-Four Seconds from Now is about the courage to wait. Through Neon’s nerves and his funny, honest thoughts, I learned that growing up isn't about rushing. It’s about having the strength to be gentle and patient. The book shows that real maturity is listening to your heart and making sure your choices are based on respect and kindness, not just pressure.

Ghostlines

Not Going To Plan
The book’s message is that even when your life feels like a mess, you can get through it with honesty and a true friend. It shows that things don’t always go to plan, but having someone like Zed to support you makes you brave enough to start over. It’s a hopeful story about being yourself and finding strength when things get difficult.

Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody
A magical and exciting story! It shows that even a 'nobody' can be a hero. The mystery of the flying pig and the voice in Zeke's knee kept me hooked until the very end. It's a great book about friendship and being brave.

The Boy I Love
I like how the setting is in World War One and how the characters connect together but I cried on the first part when it said Danny’s best friend Micheal died.

Isabella

Twenty Four Seconds from Now
The characters Aria and Neon have a very strong connection and I love that about them because of how much they enjoy each affection.

Ghostlines
Ghostlines is a great mystery set on a cold, foggy island. I really liked how the two main characters worked together. Albie’s intelligence was amazing he was able to use science to fix old gadgets and find clues. But the mission wouldn't have happened without Tilda’s courage; she never gave up on her brother. It’s a fast and exciting book that shows how being smart and being brave can solve any secret.

Popcorn
What I liked most about Popcorn is how it tackles the 'internal noise' we all feel sometimes. It’s a brave book because it uses humor to talk about things that are usually hard to explain, like fear and pressure. The story shows that being brave isn't about not being scared, it's about how you handle it.

Birdie
Birdie is a powerful story set in 1950s Yorkshire. I loved the emotional bond between Birdie and the pit pony, Mr. Duke. The book deals with tough themes like racism and isolation, but it is also a beautiful "love letter to the North." It’s a moving read that shows how resilience can help you find where you truly belong.
