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.

Amazing

Review by Hudson

This book is about special clay, Judaism, and friendship. It is fiction and good for fans of Anya and the Dragon, and The Vanderbeakers . It is amazing and full of love.

Review by stwie

This book was scary, but good.I liked how the author wrote in different verses on every page, but some parts were scary.I didnt understand every idea,but overall the story and plot were pretty good.

Love it!

Review by StargazingWish

This is my favourite book that isn't a graphic novel (I love graphic novels)! The poetry is beautiful. It's the kind of book that I could read over and over again!
