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.

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 Bexthegreat

This is the first poetry book I read, but sometimes the poetry seemed to be random, but I still loved it!

Not my favorite

Review by Foreverreading

I did not like this book because it did not catch my eye and I started reading halfway and I didn’t like it so I started reading it one more time and I just couldn’t bring myself to finish it, but I do think this book is Fine and great for poetry lovers

I liked the story a LOT but couldn't make myself finish it.

Review by Saya

The story moved so slowly I couldn't keep going. Also, the poetry wasn't what I expected, so I didn't like it as much as I thought I would.
