The Girl of Ink & Stars

Love it

Good as advertised

The book makes you intrigued . I am currently reading it for a competition but nevertheless I thoroughly am enjoying it.

The Girl of Ink and Stars by Kiran Millwood Hargrave is a magical book about friendship, adventures, myths and courage. When Lupe disappears into the Forgotten Territories, thirteen-year-old Isabella volunteers to help finding her. Her knowledge of the stars and maps is great help to find her friend. As she is the cartographer's daughter she has the opportunity to finally draw a map of the island she lives on. But the journey is not easy and myths about the island become true. First of all, let me tell you how beautiful this book looks. I have never seen such a magnificent book. Not only the cover is amazing, but the pages itself look awesome! The book is worth buying only because of its looks. I would give 5 stars only for how it looks! I love all the small details on the cover and on the pages. And what do people say about maps in books? All good books have a map in them. And this is true with this book. The story itself was magical. The author put lots of myths into the story, which made it so magical and mystical. The stories which are told in the book, are very interesting. They reminded me of stories how an island was made. I love how our heroine believes in all the traditional myths and saves the island by doing so. Isa is a really lovely young girl. She is nearly too mature for her age and has a knowledge lots of adults in the books don't have. Her friend Lupe is also a kind girl. She has a "better" life than Isa, because her father is the Governor. But she loves to be friends with Isa and likes the simple ways of life. She enjoys the stories Isa tells her and fights for what she thinks is right. Pablo is a friend of Isa, he is fifteen years old and helps searching for Lupe. He is a really nice guy and I'm glad Isa has him as a friend. The book is titled as a children's book and I can totally see why. But it is enjoyable also for adults. It catapults you into another world, which still feels very real. Something I did not really like, is that all those young people seem too mature for their age. But all in all, the book was really good. I really recommend it.

Great product

Livre acheté pour un cours d’anglais. Il est relativement simple a comprendre, mais je n’ai pas été emballée par l’histoire.

Good book to read and nothing was missing far as pages
