I loved this book!

Review by Hanah

The book is written in a way that it is really easy to read and the storyline is interesting and it keeps you wanting to know more. There is nothing I can say that I didn't like about the book! I think people who enjoy poetry, science fiction and pure relatable writing would enjoy this book.

Amazing

Review by Hudson

This book is about special clay, Judaism, and friendship. It is fiction and good for fans of Anya and the Dragon, and The Vanderbeakers . It is amazing and full of love.

The Magical imperfect

Review by MoriLovesBooks

This was a pretty good book. It was interesting to read, but I think that it would be better without the magical element.
