Dragon Skin by Karen Foxlee
5.0
"Some things you can't think."
a well deserved 5 stars
I'm crying right now. This is one of the best children's books I have ever read.
Characters: 5/5
Plot: 4.5/5
Setting: 4/5
Writing: 5/5
Overall: 5/5
This book is so simple yet so elegant. The writing style lets us into the main character, Pip, thoughts but it does it in a beautiful and very subtle way.
Example:
"It's simple food," said Pip. "I only like simple foods."
Simple. Pimple. Dimple.
Sim-pull. Pim-pull. Dim-pull.
This book is one of the easiest five stars I have ever given. It's bright and clever and I fell in love with it. It's not a mystery book and it does have any huge plot twists but it is a wonderful story and one I hope to read again.
