I knew as I started to read through this book, that there was something different about this author. I did not do any research before requesting this book from NetGalley. I saw children's fiction, middle grade, and sci-fi and I thought that I would check it out. I am a 5th grade ELA teacher and my students write their own Sci-Fi stories in my class snd I was hoping to find a book to share with them if they are interested in that genre. But as I was reading, something seemed similar to me and I felt like I was reading a student's story. Sure enough, the author of this book is 8 years old. That is freaking amazing that he was able to combine all of his skills and publish this book. I had a few students this school year that could have easily published their writings. With that being said, I did struggle a bit trying to figure out which character was which and what their purpose was in the story. However, overall, I am very pleased with this aspiring author for doing what he enjoys and getting his first book published! Kudos to you, Abhiram!
My Thoughts
⭐⭐⭐
I want to start by saying awesome job writing a book so young. I am a 5th-grade teacher and my students write Sci-fi stories during one of our units. I was interested to see how this story played out. Great use of dialogue and the story progression is definitely there. The vocabulary used was also a plus for such a young author. I'd like to see more character descriptions to better understand their purpose. Also, great use of illustrations throughout. The advanced copy of my Kindle did not do the illustrations justice. Overall this was a great 1st book and I know your stories will keep growing. Thank you for sharing your talents!

So this will temporarily be the end of my Review streak. I have one more book that I read in July, but I am saving my review to share in the book blitz coming in September, so keep an eye out for that. So I was able to read 9 total books in July and I have started more for August. I will be posting reviews as I complete them. I will also be popping in randomly to share thoughts and other random things! Thank you so much for checking out my reviews and remember, I am always looking for new recommendations!
Until next time Book Nerds!
