3.5
emotional funny hopeful inspiring fast-paced
A cute little class read.
At first, I worried about how the children would get on with a story told through verse but they seemed completely unfazed! I personally loved all the links to Skellig🪽

3.68/5 - class rating (no clapping this time ...)
7/10 - my rating

I LOVED this verse novel. I love the representation, the authenticity of it, the writing. I read the whole thing with my heart in my throat. Joe Todd Stanton’s illustrations are brilliant too ⭐️ 5/5 ⭐️
