Brown Bird

This is a story about growing up, friendship, finding your own voice and sharing feelings. This will appeal to tweens who are still discovering themselves and finding their way in the world. This book is a really easy read about day to day life in the Summer holidays. Chester and Rebecca are the perfect, opposite friends that compliment each other and balance out each other's personality. The story has a wonderful sense of community, with the children knowing most of their neighbours. Although this was a very relaxing read, at times I did feel like I wanted the author to dig deeper and show more of the characters and their background stories.
