Heart warming, magical and true to life!
This is a heartwarming story that tells the story of true life, not a made up, happy fantasy. I loved following Tom and Zofia's story and their developing friendship. I recommend this for fans of Emma Carroll and Katherine Woodfine.
You could come back to this book time and time again. I loved it.
This book is about a boy called Tom and a girl called Zofia. Who can’t stand each other at all but gradually as they talk to each other more and more they become friends. I found this story impossible to put down with perfect amounts of time in between the action. It is told from both the children’s points of view and it is very clear when it switches from character to character. I would say that it is perfect for people of the age 9+ with something for everyone in this novel.
An absolutely spectacular and heartwarming book that will make you both laugh and cry at different stages, which is exactly what a book should do!
This is a heartbreaking (and heart-warming) book about two polar opposite kids, Tom and Zofia, who absolutely despise each other. Tom is a quiet and shy boy who has been afraid of the dark ever since his violent dad was sent to prison; Zofia is a loud and confident girl who's been happily living with her dad ever since her mum died. But then fate (and a baby) abruptly causes their lives to be thrust together and they wish the baby had never come. But, sometimes, you have to be careful what you wish for..................
This is a simple wonderful read aimed at children from the ages 9+ but can still be read and enjoyed by older kids. It's genres are definitely friendship and family. It's one of the books that you read once in a while to lift up your mood and make you feel grateful and appreciate all that is around. I would 100% recommend it!
