The pacing remains consistent from start to finish—enough to make The Tutor a page-turner without overwhelming the reader.

First Impression: Super short stories (often quirky) covering a wide range of different topics that either give pause for thought or a mighty chuckle.

The book is structured in such a way that allows for a lot of sound play that interchanges frequently. There is the voice of mum, of Sophie, of dad and of the narrator.

The book acknowledges that the women selected are only a handful of the many successful figures that could have been included, further encouraging children to inspired.

Out to Get Me by Jeffrey Cooper

As a reader, I would tell myself, ‘Just one more chapter’ and then Cooper would go and make the characters do something crazy or dangerous, or put them in situations that surely, they won’t get out of.

Slam Poems for my Bathroom Mirror…And Other Selected Works… by Chris Courtney Martin

Although blunt and brutal, the poetry collection provides an interesting read on an array of topics. I appreciated the frankness, and like that it conveyed the same mood throughout.

I like the originality within this book where it is less about Christmas and more about the preparation beforehand. We only know Christmas has happened because of a single line in the poem.
