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.

Magical Imp.

Review by Theriannotfurry

I liked the deep emotional connection the whole town had with each other. Also the old and the new clay mixed together was a very cool concept of blending old world and new world. The mysterious little bits about the gpa and gma also didnt overwhelm me with back-story but left me curious and wondering all the time.
