We had the pleasure of Lara sharing her book review with us today. She spoke enthusiastically about the @epattou book North Child. She said it was her favourite book and she was inspired by the story 😊

Day 8: North Child by @epattou šŸ»ā€ā„ļø Rose was born into the world facing north, and as a north child, superstition says that she will be a wanderer, travelling far from home. This prophecy is fulfilled when she is taken on the back of a white bear to a mysterious empty castle…

Kicking off the new year with some book reviews. I read North Child by @epattou over Christmas and loved it. If you like fantasy adventure this is for you. Rose can't escape her destiny and finds herself on an epic and sometimes dangerous quest to right a wrong. Fab winter read.

Finally read West by @epattou, sequel to one of my favorite books of all time, East. It made me cry, gasp, laugh, and I loved it just as much as the first. Rose is even braver and stronger, and I related so much more as a mother. Worth the wait šŸ’—šŸ“šā„šŸŒ¬ goodreads.com/book/show/3182…
