The author is very talented. I'm really excited to see how he grows into his style as he gets older, as he shows a lot of potential. Thanks for commenting!

Thank you so much! Yes, it's definitely an ambitious project for a 12-year-old. I loved writing stories, but I could never finish them when I was that age unless it was really short! He's very talented. Thank you again for stopping by!

What an incredible achievement to write an entire book at age 12! I applaud the author. This sounds very well-written, and I'm sure he will be a great success one day with such determination. Thanks for this great review! Cheers:)
Oh love, never be afraid to fly :wink2:

He is very talented! I was stunned to learn his age. It's quite an accomplishment. I hope he becomes very successful in the future. Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to read and comment! :)

This book is amazing considering the author's age! However, it would probably benefit a lot from an editing to iron out the issues mentioned. Thank you for the review!

Agreed! I really hope once the author is a little older that he does a re-release of an edited version, because I bet it'd be fantastic. He has a lot of talent and potential to be tapped, and plenty of time to hone it. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment!

It's heartwarming to see a kid take his frustrations with life, and turn them into something positive and beautiful. Thanks for the descriptive review!
