(see details below this post) Review Pinkaboos: Butterfly and the Giant Problem is an entertaining read with a fabulous, supportive message. Reading this book to my own six-year-old, was a delight.   We were kept entertained, not only by the humour, but by the wonderful illustrations too. The storyline enabled me to open up really useful discussions with my child, that were effortless and pressure free. And by the end of the read, I felt positive the story had created an important impact on my child. Pinkaboos: Butterfly and the Giant Problem is a book I'll happily re-read with my child and has my 'mum' seal of approval.

Review: Alice Parker's Metamorphosis - Nicola Palmer

Reviewer: Stacey Rating: 5 out of 5 Fairies I must start by saying that when I was asked to read and review this book I was like "This is a kids book!" Yes, I love paranormal/fantasy books, but I am picky when it comes to choosing what I read. I like to have a connection with the characters and allow them to take me on the journey with them, so admittedly I was apprehensive about reading this...then I started reading and everything I've just said...I take back! This book wasn't only well written, it was executed brilliantly. The characters made the plot explosive, but better than that, believable! So well done, Nicola Palmer, you've converted me! The story was thrilling and mystical with just enough suspense to keep you wanting more! Alice is a 13 year old girl (that I instantly wanted to befriend) I wanted to join in the adventure (and this was at the beginning of the book.) Her friend, Sarah and brother, Thomas were along for the ride too. Alice...

Goodreads Synopsis When Ethan Rice was four years old, he was diagnosed with high-functioning autism. He decided that he wanted to tell his first grade class that he had autism on his seventh birthday. His parents asked him many questions about what having autism felt like for him and wrote his answers down as a reference for when he told his class. Those answers are now published so more people can understand what it is like to have autism. While each child on the spectrum has unique challenges and strengths, Ethan’s Story; My Life with Autism is Ethan’s own story. Wow! What a beautiful story! My Life with Autism is written by Ethan Rice who is 8 years old and lives with autism. This book allows the reader to see the world through Ethan's eyes and offers an insight into his so many thoughts and feelings about being autistic and how other children and adults treat him. The fact that this book is written by an 8 year old is amazing and his conclusion as ...
