Birdie
This book to me started off quite slow but throughout the story it builds into a beautiful book. I adored the character of Mr Duke. This book sent my heart on a roller coaster with many melancholic moments but also a contrast of truly joyous ones to. When the Carnegie's came out I never thought I would pick Birdie up but the absolutely amazing content and concept must have superglued me to it as I was not able to put it down. I Commend this author and would love to read more of J.P. Rose’s work. Thank you for an amazing read

I was pleasantly surprised by this book and I realise now at first thought I really underestimated it. It was beautifully written to show a powerful concept in a simple way and could be touching to many who have experienced bullying due to them being “ different”. As a very big reader I found the read a bit too easy personally but I love that this author has made this book assessable to lots of people who may find books a challenge. I think Patrick Ness has voiced this concern in a new and interesting way. However I did find the fact that France was on the character's knee a little peculiar. I did enjoy this read , even though it was a quick one. Thank you

Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody
It feels like a rollercoaster of imagination where everything is unpredictable. It almost feels like a child wrote this, it's very understandable and fun to read. I love the little illustrations that comes with it, it helps with knowing what's happening and what kind of animal they are (which was really helpful!) I also love that it's just a world filled with animals, something you have never thought you would read.
