Hugo and the Bird

First, a character that has my name which is rare it is always a plus! I didn't realize when I requested this that it is the third book in a series. However, the author did a great job of explaining the back story. This book is so captivating all the story plot you can simply put it down! The writing style helps a lot for people and kids who are not very into reading. Original review: https://www.netgalley.co.uk/publisher/title/216476/reviews

I didn't realize that this book was part of a series when I requested it and was initially concerned I would be really confused when I dove into the book upon that realization. However, the author does a great job of supporting readers with the backstory necessary for this world. This feature makes it a great choice for classroom libraries where students might not read books in order necessarily. The magic and whimsy of the world made it hard to put down and i think this would be great for more hesitant readers because of the pacing and language used within.

I didn't realize when I requested this that it is the third book in a series. However, the author did a great job of explaining the back story. I am normally not a quick reader, but this book was so good that I couldn't put it down. (Don't tell my boss, but I read instead of working today!) It felt like reading a magical bedtime story. So creative! I really wish I had read the first two books first, but I'll definitely be going back to read them now.
