Sale High Readers

Letters in Charcoal
I like how the illustrations are quite muted and calming as it is very comfortable to look at and I feel like it reflects on the girls’ curiosity and inner world, full of wonder, very well. They also look pretty textured and enhances the story a lot. I love the story itself as well, but I felt really sad for the girls in the end, where they were finally able to read Miguel Angel’s letter, but it was already too late because he’s moving and won’t be able to send any more letters.

Flying High
This book is very bright and vibrant and I find the art style kind of peculiar but unique in the same time. I quite liked the story, with the message of telling young people it’s okay to be different instead of trying to “fit in”.

The Invisible Story
I feel like the illustrations have a minimalist style, but they were still really beautiful and helped tell the story. The whole book was practically just white, though that made the vibrant “tissue paper” bits stand out a lot!

Clever Crow
I love how the illustrations are so detailed and meaningful, conveying such a beautifully drawn message, and they go so well with the text of the story! The writing is also quite poetic and elegantly written :) I noticed that the colour palette is very dull and muted, reflecting on the rather unpleasant exterior of crows. The story has a moral message of “it doesn’t matter what is on the outside of someone – what does matter is that the inside and personality is beautiful”, which I completely agree with.

This book made me feel very sad for those who haven’t yet found their joy in reading because they’re missing out on incredible, magical adventures! The illustrations also help tell the story a lot. I would recommend this beautiful book for anyone who doesn’t like reading, because, really, it’s just about willing to try and find the right book for you – trust me, once you’ve fallen in love, you can never stop, EVER!

Wolf and Bear
This book shows the great power of friendship and I love the contrasting dynamics between wolf and bear – I feel like it kind of gives “sunshine + grumpy” vibes! The illustrations were really colourful and detailed. It’s a beautiful book, 10/10, highly recommendable!

Grey
I really liked this book because, although its audience is very young, it still tells us about how you won’t always be happy, and that sometimes, you will feel negative emotions as well, but in a simpler and easier to digest way. It wasn’t hard to understand at all, and the illustrations match it really well too, perfect for little kids!

King of Nothing
Funny, suspenseful, emotional and so much more. The story is meaningful and interesting, seeming to come from a teenage boy's mind. The events and characters each make you feel a different emotion. A great book, my only issue is that it keeps dissing the members of one direction. I'd give it a solid 8.5/10.

The Final Year
This is a heartwarming story that explores the full spectrum of human emotion—from turbulent intensity to quiet resolution. I truly enjoyed this book. Despite its minimal use of traditional descriptive flourishes, its poetic structure powerfully conveys the raw strength and authenticity of the protagonist -Nate's- feelings. The language may be simple, but the emotional impact is profound, making it a deeply moving and memorable read.

Grey
My thoughts on the illustrations are that they expertly portray the theme of the book which is that it is ok not to feel happy all the time and that there will always be people who can help you . This is shown in the contrast of the colour grey and the brighter colours which can help a younger child understand the concept of the book without having to understand every word .

I really like how this book talks about a young girl who never knew how to read & write because it was an uncommon thing thing in their country, and i liked how she wanted to learn to read and write to read a letter and reply to it. It is also amazing how she taught people afterwards.

Grey
The book 'grey' written by Lauren Child is about a boy who struggles with ''feeling grey'', meaning he struggles with feeling his happy and confident self from a young age. I think this book is great for young readers as it shows them that mental health struggles are real, and you can feel them from a young age. This is important because as children grow up to become teenagers, adolescents, young adults and adults, they could be one of the 31.7% of women or 29.9% of men that struggle with mental health from a young age. The boy in Child's book 'Grey' experiences feelings of sadness, isolation and anxiety, making the reader feel some sort of sympathy for the boy, although some readers may feel empathy or compassion. In which case this book would also be good for the reader in the sense that they now know someone relates to feeling 'Grey' The happy turn at the end of the book would also give the reader a feeling of hope knowing that the boy finally felt happy after this constant feeling of feeling isolated, unhappy and grey.

I love how this book is poetic and colourful. This book is about friendship. This book shows how friends come together. This book shows meanings and this has a message to it.

Grey
I like this book because the words suit the drawings on it. This book makes me fell happy and sad at the same time. It makes me feel depressed. It tells people not to hide their emotions because you should tell people because they may have gone through what you are going through and they can help.

King of Nothing
I thought that king of nothing was an amazing book that all teenagers and high schoolers should read. It was written in slang and there was content in it that made it really relatable for high schoolers, and this also made it more fun to read. However, the book taught really important lessons about how you shouldn’t let others affect you and your life and also taught about toxic masculinity. This book was the perfect mix of educational, funny, sad and happy. I really really liked this book.

Little Bang
I enjoyed reading little book as it was entertaining and touched on lots of subjects that aren’t usually mentioned in books and films, but it taught lots of things in an easy way to understand. It is not my favourite book I’ve ever read but I enjoyed it.
