MY REVIEW
Today I’m shouting out loudly to every reader, The Last Pebble by Alex Horne, is absolutely brilliant, from page one up to the very last page, it’s one of my top favourite stories. In my view this exciting new children’s novel by Alex, is not only for children 9-12 but I know adults will fall in love with novel, taking you down memory lane to the beach with your children. Furthermore this story took me down my own memory lane with going to the beautiful, Bognor Regis for a family holiday many years ago. Trader is a young 11 year old, boy, who loves going to the Bognor Regis beach finding objects with his grandpa. When Trader finds an amazing pebble, his grandpa has the ability to make Trader’s pebble clean and shiny. Everywhere Trader goes he takes his precious pebble with him as he believes it’s magical. When Trader is bullied at school he thinks it’s the magic pebble, stopped the fight. The Last Pebble by Alex Horne, is superb, absolutely superb, page-turning fun! At the back if the book is the names of the stones, which I have some crystals that are listed. With enjoying The Last Pebble so much, I do hope Alex Horne will write another children’s book.
Thank you so much Walker for sending me The Last Pebble by Alex Horne to read and review.
