Latest Review: "A Case of Black Rock Mineral Water" by Simon Marshland

Post by raizenagallo »

I love the uniqueness of this story by having a tree as a central character. I salute those stories that highlights the importance of believing in your dreams despite of all the challenges that may come and are told in the most adorable way. Best part is, you get to decorate your own tree in the end! I'm pretty sure that children would enjoy that! Great review!

Superb review! It gives a large insight into the mind of the author. And I'm quite the sucker for children stories, especially things that can never really happen! It's a nice way to run away from harsh/probable realities from other genres. Plus, it seems like it has a lot of lessons to offer. Really psyched about this read. Congrats on being #BOTD!

What I adored most about this book were the strong messages it carried and how well they were executed in a language that kids can understand and enjoy the story all together. Great book this one, I must say.

I haven't found a children's book with a Christmas tree as a main character either, which makes this story different. Sounds like a nice way to teach children about pursuing their dreams and standing up against bullies. Thanks for the good review!
