We all have personal
opinions on the book.
One bookworm said “It was a
very interesting book which lacked action.”
Another said “ It was very
descriptive but the pace was too slow.”
Why should you read it?
It’s an amazing story with great reviews:
'A very exciting adventure story - I loved it' Jacqueline Wilson
The story line is
interesting with some twists. Although it is a long book, the character
development is good and we find out more about their previous lives.
If you like Wolf Wilder, Northern Lights, The Hobbit, The
Hunger Games or Lord of the Flies then this is the book for you!
This book looks amazing!!!
