Tenbury Page Turners 25

Glasgow Boys
Glasgow Boys was a very believable, readable book that shows the emotions and feelings of the boys and portrays the hardships that each of the boys were going through very well throughout.

Play
'Play' was a well written book that demonstrated well the difficulties the 4 boys are all going through. The end was particularly intriguing when the writer gave a glimpse into the boys' futures.

Little Bang
Towards the beginning I thought that the characters were stereotypical, however I thought that this was intentional to provide them room to grow and evolve. Although this was just indicative of shallow character depth, as all the interactions seemed very surface level. It was a hard read - the formatting and storytelling from the perspectives of each character was fine - because all of the conflicts seemed very repetitive and were only .there for the sake of progressing the plot. I also disliked the ending, as the entire development of Sid's character into becoming a better father figure ended up being futile

Callum

Treacle Town
I found the book confusing at the beginning, with certain features only being explained towards the end of the book. I did like the relatability, showing the lives of teenage and young adults in Scotland.

Sawyer

All That It Ever Meant
The novel as whole was very well written, and the characters are well developed. The twist was well writen as well, and while it was unexpected it fitted into the story leading up to it well.

William

Play
It is quite an intersting story, showing the growth and life of highschool boys and the dangers of teenage lives.

Sawyer

The Final Year
It was a very engaging story, and the characters (Nate especially) were really easy to empathise with. The author creates an interesting atmosphere throughout the book, and changes the feel in a uniquely subtle way. VERY COOL (I really liked it :D)

Treacle Town
Overall an extremely exciting to read book and you really get to know Connor and how his character developed as his mind changed about his social groups and his situation as a whole.

Minnie

Little Bang
This was an enjoyable book although the ending was quite confusing and did gradually get repetitive.

Sophie F

Treacle Town
A very gripping book leaving you constantly worried for the main character and his quest for freedom from his town.
