To escape death. Wouldn’t that be cool? Well, not if you are Alfie Monk. He is a 1000-year-old boy. An Leggi tutto

I read this to my 8 year old son. He'd be perfectly capable of reading it himself, but I'm glad he let me read it to him - I really enjoyed this book. Before we get stuck into the review - the quick obligatory plug. I don't just read, I write. Mostly fantasy, but with a little English folklore on the Leggi tutto

It was a buddy read. I found this amazing book on Goodreads, and ask people if they like to buddy Read the book. Well we are glad we did it. It's a ⭐⭐⭐⭐ read for me.

Nope. He doesn't want to live for a thousand year. He just want to grow up. He regretted taking the magical life pearl that made him a mortal. But, it could be reversed! Alfie, the protagonist, had failed many friendships in his 1000 years of living. But not the last one when he decided to end his mo Leggi tutto

Some books leave you, with a warm fuzzy feeling and a smile on your face. This is one of those books.  I really enjoyed this book. It has the perfect blend of history and magic. And I instantly loved Alfie. A sweet, young boy who just wants to be a normal and age like a normal boy.  He befriends Adri Leggi tutto
