*Thank you Net Galley and B.A. Williamson for the free copy of this book in exchange with an honest review*

I really really loved this book! I had no set expectations going in, but the writing really grabbed me from the first pages! I know that you may be wondering, why an adult would read a children’s book? Well, if every children’s book was as good as this one, more adults would read them!

The plot was fast, with the right amount of adventure and humour and with very nice vocabulary, which is something I always look for in children’s book especially. I believe that when a kid reads a book he ought to have fun, but he also ought to learn something from it, whether that’s the moral of the story or the chance to expand his vocabulary.

Gwendolyn and Sparrow were my two favourite characters in the book, they were funny, adorable and fearless and overall, I loved them so much! Sparrow made my laugh countless times with his antics and as an older sister myself, I could really relate with Starling’s (Sparrow’s older sister) exasperation regarding him!

“The Marvelous Adventures of Gwendolyn Gray” is the kind of book I wish I read when I was 11, because I found Gwendolyn very similar to myself when I was her age. I loved the message of the book, how it tells you that no one’s weird and having traits that separate you from the group, doesn’t mean you are abnormal or an oddity.

Summing up, I urge everyone with a younger sibling or any parent to gift this book to their loved ones. It is and amazing adventure, filled with many twists and exciting themes, like pirates and airborne ship battles, which are sure to enchant any child!
