this entire book (ironically) can be summarised as 'I love books too'
You dont need to market your book at people who love books- BECAUSE IF THEY LOVE BOOKS THEYLL READ IT ANYWAY
<<<SPOILERS>>>
and the class rep literally had no purpose? like to be a damsel in distress? that was it
some nice lines but overall v disappointing
'her upbeat voice was like the unexpected arrival of spring in the midst of winter.'

"Books have tremendous power. But take care. It's the books that holds the power, not you."
I don't have too much to say about this book except that it was cute. I was expecting it to go a little deeper with its representation of grief - I feel like the appearance of the Cat wasn't really explained AS a metaphor for grief but that's how I saw it. Each little labyrinth was very short as well which was a little jarring but I understood the reason for that was to keep the pace up as well as making it something younger children would be able to get through. Very much reminded me of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode 'Karate Island' because there's these different levels that he has to beat, I was honestly just thinking of that the whole time. This was still pretty cute and enjoyable, especially if you're someone who loves books! But, a fair warning, I found myself agreeing with some of the men in the labyrinths, particularly that guy who was against rereading books - I simply don't have enough time!!
