Official Review: Anna and the Snowglobe by Vicki Jones

[CheyenneR]

I appreciate the author covering topics such as bullying in an easy to understand and approachable way for younger readers.

Anna and the Snow Globe by Vicky Jones can turn out to be a worthy addition to the genre of children's books or tween books as it tackles the isolation of orphaned children and worse, orphaned bullied children. Right off the bat, we see why Anna turns to a supernatural friend to cope with her circumstances. I expect it to be touching, fun and a bit haunting.

Thanks for the nice review. I enjoyed reading it. I would love to read this book and just find out what this gift that David gave could do. It is nice to read that the book has some element of suspense in it as well. Quite unique for books in this genre.

This book teaches about values that are important and issues that most kids have to deal with at school and at home, mine included. It is easy to read which makes it great for kids. Young adults benefit too from the story. A family certainly could have a good discussion going here. Thanks for your review.

Books about loss and bullying are fairly difficult to find. From the sound of it, this book meets the criteria.

I liked that sample simply based on the exploration of bullying. But now knowing from your review that there is magic involved, I am even more interested in reading this book. Thank you for a great review.

I'm so pleased to have found this book. My youngest has really struggled with anxiety and I bought this hoping it would help. What a wonderful, sensitively written story. Even my eldest who doesn't suffer with the same issues loved it. I would recommend this book to all children. It's beautiful

The loss of loved ones alters the course of someone's life in ways that can't be explained. The fact that the author tackles this issue as well as bullying impresses me greatly. This seems like it would be a great read for children. Congrats on BOTD.

I enjoyed reading your review, it was simple and easy to understand. Anna reminds me of Cinderella.
I agree with you, I know for a fact that I would enjoy this book as a child and even as a twelve to thirteen year old. The book is well written as well as the review which will surely make parents buy the book.

I have just sampled the free pages of the book and found it somehow painful with Anna being bullied, but I'm glad to learn through your intriguing review that it's a fun and entertaining read for children.

This book doesn't really sound like my sort of read based on this review, but I am very glad that it approaches the subject of losing loved ones and bullying. I hope that parents/guardians will take the opportunity to gently discuss these matters with their children while also keeping them entertained. Thank you for the helpful review.

Based on the reviews I am curious about the book. I want to know how the author used bullying within the story. I also like how the characters are relatable. I might give this book a chance and see if it would be something my younger siblings would enjoy.

This book sounds great for children, even I would read it. I loved reading as a child and I can see how I could have enjoyed this as a teenager. Bullying and losing a loved one is something a lot of us has suffered with as a child. Being able to read a story about it with positive relationships coming from it when we were young, would have definitely helped us escape, even if for a little while.

The book reminds me of the Hollywood exciting movie "Anna", with some similarities here and there. Especially, with both characters being orphans. While in the movie "Anna" was seen rescuing a dog from some bullies, here in the book "Anna" is the one being rescued from the bullies. The lost dog found a friend in "Anna" (from the movie), in this book "Anna" found a friend who gave her a Snowglobe.

A children's fiction book that touches the themes of bullying, teamwork, kindness, and the importance of family. This is a book definetly for me. Is intended for children but is a fun read. Congratulations on BOTD.
