I loved this book!

Review by Hanah

The book is written in a way that it is really easy to read and the storyline is interesting and it keeps you wanting to know more. There is nothing I can say that I didn't like about the book! I think people who enjoy poetry, science fiction and pure relatable writing would enjoy this book.

I really loved it...

Review by EDYSeattle

I really loved it but some parts didn't make sense. The themes of friendship and accepting differences in each other was appealing to me. I read this one quickly and you will too.
