By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @The_WriteReads/@WriteReadsTours for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Terra Electrica is adventure book for young teenagers ( 9-to 14 years old.) The main character Mani who is 12 years old, and she has lost her family and community due to a deadly force being unleashed. The story is very easy to get into and flows very well, and I was soon flicking through the pages. The illustrations are amazing that are scattered through the book and work very well with the story. The front cover is great and I love the title it works brilliant together. The story is set at fast pace which is great because you get hooked straight the way and I was totally invested in the book and could not put down. I think young teenagers will love this book it will take them away from there world for a bit. Terra Electrica is an engaging read 5 stars. About the Book: Book 1 in an action-packed dystopian adventure series set in the near-future post-melt Arctic. The last ice cap has melted, and the world is on the brink of collapse. A deadly force—Terra Electrica—has been unleashed. It feeds on electricity. It is infecting civilization. In this chaotic, rapidly changing reality, 12-year-old Mani has lost her family and community to the Terra Electrica. Armed only with some ancestral wisdom and a powerful, ancient wooden mask she was never meant to inherit so soon, she suddenly finds herself responsible for the fate of the world. Can Mani piece everything together and harness her newfound powers in time to save humanity? About the Author: Antonia Maxwell is a writer and editor based in North Essex and Cambridge, UK. With a degree in Modern Languages and a long-standing career as a book editor, she has a lifelong curiosity for language and words, and a growing fascination in the power of story – the way it shapes our lives and frames our experience.

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.

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.

We overcompensate f...
