#thelightineverything #katyabalen #sydneysmith @bloomsburychildrens OUT APRIL 14TH . #MIDDLEGRADEBOOKREVIEW . A dramatic heartwarming coming-of-age drama with wide appeal that will immerse every reader. . . Told in dual perspective two polar opposites collide when their parents fall in love and have a baby. . Zofia is wild and courageous. Tom is shy and introvert. As the reader ricochets from one to the other the brewing struggles heartache and emotions in the family dynamic are reflected in the wild sea they live next to and grow connected to. The powerful descriptions of the uncontrollable sea perfectly draw parables with life and its ups and downs and unpredictability. . The fact that Sydney Smith is illustrating (one of my favourite illustrators)is a huge added bonus and from what I've spied on @sydneydraws will capture this beautiful story magnificently. . Ps I did try to make the origami swan but failed sorry!!!!It is a beautiful craft. .#middlegradereads #mglit #middlegradebooks #childrensbookreview #bookstagramfeature #coverkidsbooks #instabook #kidslit #newbook #bookblogger #bookstagram #bookstagramfeature #coverkidsbooks #instabook #kidslit #newbook #newfictions #newfiction #igbookreview #instareview #instabooks #instabooklovers #igbook #gifted https://www.instagram.com/p/CaHSVuiLvcC/?utm_medium=tumblr
