Thankyou Michael for your comment!

Thankyou Stephen for your comment!

One thing with such children's books is that adults too can enjoy reading it. This seems to be a book that I will really enjoy reading. Thanks for the engaging review!

I love reading children’s book that offer something creative and relatable. Will sounds like a nice boy. His fears and apprehensions are all relatable. I am sure children would love reading about Will and his life. We done with the review. Great job.

What an interesting story! Your review has me curious about all things Will is going through. I agree with you on the illustrations; I believe it would also allow younger children to enjoy the book without getting bored. Thank you for this amazing review! Looking forward to reading more from you. Until next time...

Will of the Hill sounds like a fun and witty children's book about friendship, blackmail, and resilience. I haven’t read it yet, but it really piqued my interest—thanks for the great review!

Do you think that perhaps because the prose lends itself so well to the imagination the author intentionally left out illustrations in order to keep the reader using theirs? I am in favor of anything that gets kids reading and keeps them interested for life, though. Thanks!
