What a book! A truly magnificent debut by Emily Kenny. 

Boarding school + magic + animals = the perfect formula. 

Throughout my childhood, I pestered my mum and dad to send me to boarding school, but alas, they never did. I always thought it would be such fun to live most of the year with your friends (picture St Trinians). When the opportunity to read this book arose, I jumped at the chance. I was not disappointed. 

Alice is a very relatable character, who, like the author, is autistic. She is brave, clever, determined and “different”. And I love, love, love her!🧡

Alice Tonks will be a big hit and a firm favourite for young readers. I know lots of children will relate to her situation and the impact autism has on her day-to-day life. And I’m also certain they will take inspiration from Alice’s heroism. 

This book deserves to be on every child’s bookshelf and in every school library across the land!

I can't wait for future instalments in this series!

I highly recommend this book👌

It’s a strong 5🌟 review from me. 

Thank you to Random Things Tours and Rock The Boat for providing me with a print copy in exchange for my own honest review.
