I bought this book for my 13 year old daughter. I've started to read it too. The story starts quickly, (in the 1st 2 chapters.) the story keeps you interested by the changeable pace and there are no scary/shocker characters. The two main characters show friendship, caring and respect. I've not finished the book yet but I'm intrigued how the story will end!
Well Done to James Nicol for another very good young teenager book.
It is an amazing story about the hardships of life in India after WW1. You can really connect to Sanjiv’s story and it makes your heart sore when Amil learns how to read the wind. It is a lovely book and it shows the cruelty in which some factory owners treated their employees back then. I love this book and will definitely recommend it to my friends. It is a top tier read and a must read book for 9 to 11 year olds!
It was an amazing book and I really like the concept of The End. You can really connect to Rowena’s tales about love and life before The End and it adds that extra little something to the plot. Overall it is an amazing read and I will definitely recommend this book to my friends. This is a must read book for 10 to 11 year olds!👍
My January macaw subscription my book was wrong but I sent an email straight away and it was sorted and they sent me the book I chose
Ps:the subscription is amazing love all the books they choose
Book ordered and arrived in 48 hours! Perfect Christmas gift provided with a speedy service. One happy child 😊
Subscription bought for Christmas present. Haven't yet seen the books sent. Will be interested to hear how it went down
Firstly, I was very happy with the choice and variety of books on offer.
After ordering 2 books, I received the package but one of the books was lost during the delivery (the package had been opened and reattached with elastic bands). I contacted Parrot street book club and they were great, re-ordering the book straight away and sending it to me promptly. Great customer service and very friendly people!
Loved this pack- the activities, recipe annd interesting facts were great. Looking forward to getting stuck in with my daughter.
I just finished it. I’m smiling. This magical book has a magical premise with humor, depth and love. The well developed characters and their particular points of view flow smoothly and I was in the fictional dream the whole time. Frank has his own eclectic style where the unbelievable is real. I laugh and feel nostalgic. 🏆
The packaging was great and the timing was amazing as it came with my august macaw box. The book was on perfect condition aswell as the activity pack. Absolutely fantastic.
Great characters involved in an exciting adventure. Didn’t want to put it down. Will definitely appeal to a range of ages, either read solo or shared out loud. Looking forward to the next adventure.
The fact that the books are wrote by authors that aren't so well known is just pure genius as they are completely new. Very well presented upon delivery. Would highly recommend Parrot Street to everyone as they are doing a tremendous job. Keeping children engaged in reading bu using their subscription service is so important at any age. Well done Parrot Street!
My daughter was so excited when her first book dropped through the letterbox.
She began looking through the book and reading it immediately.
I have a huge passion for books, and want to pass that to my daughter.
We read the book together each night, and the story itself has opened a world of imagination for her.
On a recent walk, she was so excited to find a pond and imagined it to be that of the one in the story and imagined what the characters would be doing.
We can’t wait for our second book to arrive!
Our nine year old granddaughter who is an avid reader is thrilled to have joined a book club! The opportunity to write a review each month will certainly add to her enjoyment.
Such a lovely way to introduce our grandchildren to authors they might not come across and to be able to help develop their love of reading and writing their own stories. They are always keen to share the latest book to arrive during our FaceTime sessions and so, we too, are introduced to new books! It’s a win win situation in our family.
It is genuinely amazing to have found something both me and my boy adore! We received our first book this month and we have loved spending time before bed reading a chapter or 2, and going through the activity pack now we have finished the book. I cannot help but recommend both Parrot Street and our first book to everyone. Cannot wait for our next book in January!
