In this edition’s Army&You and Reading Force Book Club, our forces youngsters share their views on Evernight, written by Ross MacKenzie…
ELLA JONES (11)
This enchanting and magical story is about a young girl called Lara, who is forced to leave home in order to save her kingdom and hide away from the Evernight. On her journey to escape, she discovers the truth about her parents’ past, her hidden talents, and forms bonds that will never break. I couldn’t read fast enough, but I never wanted the book to end! I really enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an irresistible fantasy. This is one of my favourite books of all time that I hope everyone will read!
HONEY FLEMING (11)
Evernight is a magical adventure with original and unique characters. Witches, hags and a man with no shadow all feature in this story based around a strange box and the release of Evernight, a mysterious and powerful creature. This book kept my interest as the story was unpredictable and original. I would recommend the story for children aged 10 to 13 because some parts are slightly frightening but very exciting!
