Small Bones - Vicki Grant.

Photo Source Link Emma's Review: 4.5/5 Ashvini's Review: 5/5 Emma:  When Vicki Grant came to our school I was thrilled to be asked to introduce her (with Ashvini) and intrigued to read her latest book "Small Bones". I had already read the book  ID and really enjoyed it.  The book is about an orphan named Dot. In the book the orphanage burns down. The seven oldest girls are not able to be put into orphanage homes. They have to go out on their own. Each of the seven are given one item from their past. They each use that one item to try and find their parents.  Dot I find is the opposite of me she is small, prone to daydreams, good at sewing (lets not even talk about my sewing abilities) and umm let me see she lives in another era !  I had a really fun time reading this book. There were a few big twists at the end which I found made the book more interesting. I really recommended this book to you if you are 12+ I think that you will really enjoy i

I.D. - Vicki Grant.

In I.D, Vicki Grant gives readers a taste of a very different lifestyle that isn’t typically touched on in books. The tone and just the way the main character talks and thinks really feels authentic to that very southern environment. Although this book is so short it still manages to get a hold of you and fall in rhythm with Chris (the main character)’s thinking, and just when you think something’s really going to work out it’s completely the opposite. Though, now looking back I kind of feel like Chris gxxxx tx xxxl (blocked out due to spoilers) was meant to be because he was so caught up in his own needs, that he never stopped to look at the bigger picture. I kind of wish that there were a few more clues leading up to the conclusion, just to tie it off with a bow.  (I feel like that just made everything so much more intense - Emma)
