Book Review: Ferris

A glorious collection of interesting family dynamics interwoven into the wonderful daily life of Ferris.
Rebecca has a particular interest in books for children that encourage their imagination and inspire further reading. Books with subtle humour, excellent language, and without cynicism are a favourite. She specialises in fiction and delights in beautiful, well-written books.
