So eye opening how we make assumptions about different things. I was not expecting to appreciate this book so much. Loved how the author celebrated those around him.

So good for young fantasy

I loved this book. I can’t believe it was based on a true story. It was written so well and was so thoughtful with a persons life journey without being depressing even through the really hard stuff. And yet still deep and true.

It was so nice to be back with these characters.

Shield of sparrows was on par with Fourth Wing if you feel like reading a good story where you’ll need to wait a year til the next one.

Sweet kids book with good message of nature needing each other

Hopefully someday the rest of his books will be available as audiobooks

Ahh this made me want to read as a family. I think anyone who liked one and only Ivan will really enjoy this book even more.

This totally made me want to reread all of it.

What a fun cozy mystery!

I didn’t expect to enjoy this history of a business as much as I did.

Wow what a powerful story and incredibly educational on race and apartheid.

I think after first reading the Explorer and then this book, I might read everything this author writes. It is MAGIC and adventure and unexpected well written tough love. Good reading for young readers and my favorite type of book.

Wow. So grateful I read this. Makes me want to go back and read the original with new eyes.

I really have enjoyed these

I’m so glad I read this book. I have had little education about Palestine and the why if the conflict. This was really helpful and yet beautifully written in story form.

Honestly, I don’t think I understood the power/hold of these books until this one. as an author, she can write about deep things with small details. She writes deep truth of soul in fantasy. this particular book was hard because of the treatment of a child by men without being descriptive but it was still hard to deal with the emotional aftermath. But the takeaways were powerful.

Enjoyable adventure
