[P.K. Fitzhenry · Rating 3 out of 5]

Street Child is a powerful and emotional novel that brings Victorian England to life through the story of Jim Jarvis, a poor boy struggling to survive after the death of his mother. Based on a true story, it vividly portrays the harsh realities of life for orphans and the working class in the 19th century.

Far From Home is so so criminally underrated. I love it so much, it really had me laughing and sobbing. I would 100% recommend
