Advantages: great characters and plot
Disadvantages: slightly short book could use more pages

Exellent plot and the characters were exellently created with a very good use of imagery. Really gritty and exciting plot which keeps you on the edge of your seat. I personally sat at home for a whole weekend with this book and did not get bored, I was totaly engrosed. I really reccomend this book but you must read the first and the second in the series to really understand the plot. Te audience would most probably be teenagers beacause of the encapturing ...

...always bring a smile to my face, particularly as I can almost hear my daughter saying the same sorts of words. I really think that Lauren Child has an ear for the way children speak and she replicates this so well. There are also many things that you start to recognise once you have read a few Charlie and Lola books. These include the wonderful illustrations on every page - sometimes hand drawn pictures mixed with occasional photos. A lot of the ... Read review

So the kind Mole takes the little bird home and makes a special nest for him, then proceeds to show it to both his parents, both of whom tell him that it's very hard to care for a bird (which is very true, have you ever spent an afternoon digging up worms from the garden and tried to stuff them down a tiny bird's throat? - I have. It didn't work). However, it so happens that this little bird did make it. It grew. "It's my pet bird," said ... Read review
