I picked this up in a book people haul. It took me a while to read it because it got lost under mounds of other books. Synopsis (as on the back of the book) is as follows: Once I escaped from an orphanage to find Mum and Dad. Once I saved a girl called Zelda…

I managed to read four books this week, which is quite good for me. I only have 11 books left to read from my birthday before I’m back to reading the books that have been piling up in my bedroom. I am trying to be on a book ban until April – as I reckon…
