"Their years of imprisonment burned in their eyes, adding strength to their bones." ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another middle grade (9-11 years) book onto my read list! I try to review these books against each other rather than generally and although this was readable, it didn't wow me. I felt that it was a bit predictable. I think... Continue Reading →
“I simply didn't know how to make things better. I could not solve the puzzle of me.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I'm not quite sure what I can say about this book which hasn't already been said.
