I loved this book , from the way thet it makes everything feel magical to the story itself. I adored this book but it had nothing missing and thet is why I would give this book a 9\10 and with a really big heart emoji next to it. I found the precise wording mesmerized me as much as Ayrie mesmerized tourists. Amazing.

Birdie
Birdie is a book that I personally really liked but I also like the personality of the character and the important theme in it made it extra special. Im also a horse lover and I have always been interested in world wars and how life was not only for the people fighting it but also the people that lived through it.

Popcorn
Popcorn is an inspiring book about coping with anxiety. I didn't adore the book but I found it a curious and interesting. I would give this book a 5\10.

I liked how Rob Harrel managed to make anxiety something to laugh about in a very interesting book about a day packed with anxiety for a boy shown in his own manner. And at the end there´s a picture that I just love because it is very funny and it clashes with the only goal of the whole day.

I found the book entertaining but it just wasn't my type. I think that for some people could easily relate to this book, I think that it kind of makes some parts of anxiety funny. I really like the authors notes and the anxiety files. It's a nice book.

Popcorn
I enjoyed the book but it wasn't my type of book . Even if I didn't find it that interesting it can be a very good book for people that also have anxiety. I really like how the author created that connection with the author's notes . It was super funny and my favourite page was the picture ( wait until the end )

Popcorn
The book popcorn was unexpectedly wonderful. I thought that this book was going to be boring and I would not want to read it. I was surprised but this book was awesome! I loved the way it showed all the illustrations and it was so fun. I absolutely loved the pictures and lightness of the book. The best - funniest- part was the picture at the end... it made me laugh, the picture at the end, how he was unaware and it gave the touch that he had a great day and was glad with the memories of the result. The author notes also gave it a special unique effect.

Wolf Siren
I really like the book Wolf Siren because it explained the stages in life for girls and I also like that it talks about a connection with the wolfs and woods.

Wolf Siren
I think that Wolf Siren is a great book that talks really well about themes like disability, bullying, men being superior to women and some others that are important to talk about enveloped in a very good book. I think this is a book for not only girls but also boys because it is an interesting book and also teaches a lot about important themes.

Wolf Siren
I belive that Wolf Siren is a wonderful book filled with mystery, problems and ways to resolve them. This book shows how women grow up and the changes they have to cope with. I think that boys would find this book helpful on what girls have to go through growing up. The way that it made women more powerful than men on this book suggests that in this book, women were not objectified. The fact that the main character -Red- had a impared vision and how she got through it easily that having a dissibility isn't horrible.

Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody
I really like the book Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody because I like how it explained how to sometimes deal with bullying and that instead of using people to explain Zeke´s life, Patrick Ness uses animals to make it funny. I also like his drawings in the book though, I would recommend it to anyone depending on what they like to read.

Wolf Siren
Wolf siren was one of the best books I have read in a long time. I love how they express how a woman changes in different ways. I also like how fiction is mixed up with reality . It was a book that was thought very carefully and how it makes disabled people aware that it is not horrible to be different .

Wolf Siren
Wolf Siren is an incredible book that has left me thinking with a different perspective and with new hopes. This isn't just a book for girls to read it's a book for everyone, even though it's mostly a story around the growing up from girls to women. I agree with Katya Balen, award-winning author of October who said "Full of brilliant, wild, misunderstood girls, this is a feminist tale with teeth and a sharp bite."

Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody
I think the book was a big laugh! It was an easy read but a very enjoyable book . I loved the shadower's challenge and the description of the book was based on real life. It described how disabilities are not always bad.

Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody
I liked the book very much but I didn't find myself fully engrossed in it. It embraces delicate and complicated themes in a way for smaller kids to understand. As I mentioned, I found it a bit childish because of the robots and lasers ; overall I think it was a pleasant book.

Nayra

Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody
I absolutely adored the book and the way it dealt and coped with diffucult problems in a way kids could understand. Like the black dog ; France on Zeek's knee. I loved the fun and lightness of this book.

Zaira

Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody
I think Lizard Nobody is a very funny book and very easy to read but with important concepts that are difficult to understand so I would recommend reading it once from 5 to 9 years and then reading it again from 11 to 14 to understand anything that you missed in your first read.
