'The Legend of Childers Forest' by Gillian Young

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @litpr for letting me be part of this tour amd reviewing this book.The Legend of Childers Forest is a young adult genre that will take you on a fantastic journey. This book 2 in the series and you can read it as a standalone as I did. The story is about Poppy who is a dog and her sister Devon. There is a family of rabbits that are driven away from their home, the two dogs Poppy and Devon have to try to help them. I found the story to be at a good pace and very entertaining to read. The characters are wonderful, and you fall in love with the two dogs straight away. I feel young teenagers will love this book and I found it to be a very magical read. 5 stars Blurb Poppy the golden retriever returns with her younger sister, Devon, in another crazy cream adventure. When a family of rabbits are driven from their home, Poppy and Devon make it their mission to help. Their quest takes them to Childer’s Forest, the site of ancient and mysterious events. When the safety of their human brother, Jack, is also threatened, Poppy and Devon call on the famous Legend of Childer’s Forest for help. Blurb Gillian Young was born and raised in Worcestershire, UK. She's written and illustrated four children's middle-grade books: POPPY ON SAFARI, TAMMY AND WILLOW, POPPY LOVES DEVON and THE LEGEND OF CHILDER'S FOREST. Three of these books are part of the Crazy Cream Adventure Series, which follows the antics of Poppy, the crazy cream retriever. The title for this series comes from Poppy's Instagram account called; @crazy.cream.retrievers.x Gillian has been both a book and dog lover for most of her life. Each dog has it's own unique personality and this is what inspired Gillian to write engaging, feel-good stories staring these amazing canine 'furriends'. Gillian also enjoys drawing and photography, both of which are featured in her books. Thanks to her thousands upon thousands of photographs, she creates drawings from these images and incorporates them into her books. Following on from Poppy on Safari and Poppy Loves Devon, Gillian has just released another in the Crazy Cream Adventure series, a spooky tale entitled, The Legend of Childer's Forest. She is also working on a supernatural thriller which will hopefully be released in 2024. Her stand alone children's middle-grade book, Tammy and Willow focuses on the struggles faced when a beloved pet dies. This book follows both Hannah and her border collie, Tammy. Both are suffering due to changes neither asked for nor wanted. Following her death, Tammy finds herself in a world where no one can see or hear her - until a puppy joins her family. Finally, with help from the puppy, Tammy finds a way to communicate with Hannah again. In her spare time, Gillian likes walking her golden retrievers, Poppy and Devon, around the forest, going to castles, cathedrals and other places steeped in history, and sitting back in front of the log burner with a good book and a glass wine. Gillian is represented by LitPR. Her author journey has seen her appear on radio, in magazines and give talks and book signings in bookshops and schools with the star of the Crazy Cream Adventures - Poppy🐾

Thank you (@The_WriteReads @WriteReadsTours @strangelymagic and @TinyTreeBooks for being part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the Pawnshop of Stolen Dreams front cover its great. The Pawnshop of Stolen Dreams is for young adults between 9-13 years, which will keep them entertained till the end. The story is dark and well-written. The illustrations are amazing and great fantasy. The story is at a great pace and love adventure running through the book 5 stars. Blurb In a strange little village called Witchetty Hollow, eleven-year-old Florizel is the first to run into the curious visitors who've come to open a brand new Daydream Delicatessen and sack-baby factory. At first, it seems the daydream confection and cheap sack children are the best things that could have happened to the poor folk of the Hollow - after all, who has the money to rent their child from Storkhouse Services these days? But after a few weeks, Florizel starts to notice something odd happening

Thank you @strangelymagic and @neemtreepress for letting me review this book. War of the wind is 220 pages snd is you g adukt fiction. I really enjoyed reading this book and felt like ot held my attention to the end. I really like the characters my favourite where Max, Beanie and Erin. I love the plot with the evil Doctor Asheood and the wind turbines. It was lovely to see Max develop and start to accept his disabiliny and for Max to have the strengh to tell his dad how he felt about him not communicate with him. My heart did go out to dad ehen i found out why. It did make me sad in places but its great read and gripped me. I slso liked hid uncle and twister. I feel young adults will love this story its diffent and its grest suspence.

Thank you @NikkiTgriffiths , @Seeshespeak and @Melivillehouse for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the front cover its very eye catching witch would make me pick up to read the blurb. I like the title to. I found hanging out very instresting read its very true how people lost on technology and how we lost the connections in the real world since covid. I found it difficult and awakard going to social situations not knowing what to say or woundering if people want me there all because we been locjed away. I like how Sheila highlights her importance for us to hang out togther and how socialsing has changed through the years. Hanging out is written well and easy to get into and the topic is well researched. 4 stars. The digital age has consumed us. Every time we unlock our phones, we disengage from our social interactions. As a digital society we have fractured our real-life relationships, splintered our attention and created social voids. We overcompensate f
