I absolute adored the front cover and the title fits well with the story and cover. The story about Selena who is a 12 years old and moves to Madderly bay where she discovers some dark secrets. I loved this book, it is full of adventure and magic that kept me hooked all the through the book. I enjoyed meeting Selena and the other characters and following them going through there challenges and ups and downs. Furthermore, I especially liked the mermaid zombies that is something different I have never read before which for made the story even more. I feel young adults will love this book and older adults to, it is had some great twists and great amount of suspense running through the book. I found Selena Flowers and the Cursed Ruby very easy to get into and is set at a good pace you can keep up with. You won't be able to put down 5 stars. Blurb From the bustling streets of London to the eerie shores of Madderly Bay, Selena Flowers' world turns upside down when a zombie mermaid shatters the calm of her new seaside home. This is no ordinary mermaid, but Faustina, a creature from the depths, cursed with eternal youth and a thirst for companionship in her underwater realm of shadows. As her mother falls victim to Faustina's sinister spell, Selena faces a race against time. The key to salvation? A legendary ruby necklace, lost in the swirling depths, steeped in magic and mystery. With each passing day, her mother's humanity ebbs away, inching closer to a watery doom. Selena must brave the haunted waters of the merkingdom, navigating a world where trust is as fleeting as shadows. In her desperate search for the necklace, she confronts not only the horrors of the deep but the courage within herself. Will Selena reclaim the cursed ruby and save her mother, or will they both be lost to the mermaid's chilling embrace? Dive into "Selena Flowers and the Cursed Ruby," where the line between hero and legend blurs in the murky waters of Madderly Bay.

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 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.
