The Grotlyn by Benji Davies
4.0
When The Grotlyn arrived through my door I was very curious to know what the book was about. This was not only a surprise book, but was also an author I had not read before.
The Grotlyn was a quick read, only 32 pages long, but it packs so much into it. I loved the front cover design, the atmosphere it portrays and the artwork, and this continues throughout the book as we read about shadows, and scuttling, and things disappearing.
The illustrations within the pages were amazing, and I love the detail that went into them. Another thing I also loved was the rhyming aspect to it and how it really draws you in and has you wanting to know more.
The ending of the book was unexpected but I loved getting to see what was stolen and why.
Final Verdict
I really enjoyed reading The Grotlyn and I can't wait to pass this book along to my niece to enjoy.
