The bluebirds live

But one little girl with a sing song voice has the power to change it back to become a city of Solace This was a wonderful book with such intricate and vivid descriptions From the loveliness of Oriole and her enchanted Forest of Birds to the rotting and desolate City of Soulless There are some violent and dark moments which help to build the tension and fear not just for Oriole s quest but for her life Every page of this enchanting tale gripped me to the very end The illustrations that Gabrielle personally created for this book are stunning They helped me visualise sweet Oriole and her plight throughout the story so beautifully I would recommend this to upper middle grade 10 5 Stars 200 I love Gabrielle Wang s work and I love listening to her speak.

The wishbird pdf download This is a fable like fantasy told in a slightly distant fairytale style quite broad strokes It s quite pretty and some of the images are lovely though I doubt I will revisit it 200 A magical fantasy story set in China this book explores family friendship and fighting for what is right 200 Beautifully written children s story 200 This was a gr8 book I read it for school and I was not expecting to enjoy it whatsoever I think the author shows gr8 creativity and I would recommend it to others but it is still not something that I would have chosen to read on my own It is not a very complex book and it lacks action and suspense Above all it is still a gr8 book 200 Obligatory 5 stars for saving my ERP project 200 .
