By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @josomerset @stairwellbooks @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #FreeReview #FreeBookReview #LBTMiddleGrade for letting be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Mission: Find Mum is for teenagers and above. My heart and face was a mess from reading this book. I just wanted to give a hug to Isla and Lac and tell them how brave they are. The story is about Isla and Lac whose Mum gone missing, and they go to the Scottish Island to find her. I was invested in the book straight the way and could not put it down. I loved the pictures that were on each chapter, they are beautiful. The book is beautiful written and engaging. The writing flows very well, and I loved following Isla and Lac story to find mum but also finding other things out to. I think young teenagers will enjoy reading this book. I like the front cover and the title works well with the book. Amazing read 5 stars. Blurb Isla and Lac's mum is missing, but has left clues, and an emergency credit card. The children travel from Birmingham to Mora, a Scottish island, camping and tracking their mum. Hampered by challenges and unsure of who to trust, can Isla and Lac succeed in their mission? What else will they find... and lose? For ages 10 and up. A beautiful, gripping, realistic story about a brave girl and her little brother on a seemingly impossible quest. An unpredictable rollercoaster from start to finish. There's a wonderful sense of place, and the ending satisfied me completely. - Clare Weze, author of The Lightning Catcher and The Storm Swimmer By the end of this touching and unpredictable coming-of-age story, the Mission has gathered layers of meaning in an ever-deepening mystery and adventure. Just when it looks like Isla and Lac have accomplished one mission, another begins. A unique tale with a vivid setting and dynamic characters: I was hooked to the end. - Jennifer Burkinshaw, author of Igloo and Happiness Seeker Author bio Jo Somerset is based in Manchester, UK. She won the Leanne Bridgwater Award for Innovation and Experiment in 2020 from the University of Salford, where she completed a MA in Creative Writing. Mission: Find Mum is her first book. Her inspiration for Isla and Lac's story jumped out on a trip to Tiree in the Scottish Outer Hebrides. Like Isla, Jo grew up in Birmingham, UK. Her love of the Hebridean islands underpins Isla and Lac's heartfelt journey to find out the truth.

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 @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

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.
