My Review:
What a fantastic, imaginative collection of short stories written by a young ten-year-old. Ten stories, in fact, all detailing important milestones in a young girl’s life. No swearing or harsh language, this delightful book is perfect for grade school children and their parents.
Let’s start with the writing. For a youthful writer, this is an excellent example of good writing. Each story is well-detailed with the right balance of dialogue, emotion, and tension.
Each story has a good message. With each tale, there is a life lesson learned. But it’s written in kid language so it’s approachable. Themes include bravery, friendship, family, sportsmanship, and more.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Anokhi’s Adventures. It exemplifies what it means to be a kid today. I recommend it to all readers.
My Rating: 5 stars
