Bookcubs.com, Hannah – age 9 – gives Miri Attwater and the Ocean’s Secret 5 stars (and 22 exclamation marks!)

1 July, 2013 by ES Ivy

For kid’s books, there’s nothing better than a book review by kids.

Book Cubs Kids Book Reviews

Here’s what Hannah, age 9, over at BookCubs had to say about Miri Attwater and the Ocean’s Secret.

If you like funny fantasy books you’ll love this. It is fantastic. If you do not think it is great, you are crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And as a writer, there’s nothing better than a kid’s review like that. 🙂 And yes, all those exclamation points are her’s – I didn’t add any.

Her favorite part was Miri’s dinner with the Queen. That makes me happy, because I had fun writing it. (Sneak Peek – there’ll be another fancy dinner with funny dishes in Book 2.)

Before I wrote about Miri’s first meal in Kai Kaona, I ate some seaweed salad! It wasn’t too bad. A little rubbery. 🙂 Some of the rest came from memories I have – like when someone advised me to order “seafood” noodles in Japan and it turned out to be “seaweed” noodles.

And the time at a fancy restaurant in New Orleans that my grandmother was served a baked fish with its head still on. She was a proper Southern lady, a phenomenal cook, and had cleaned a few fish from my grandfather’s catch in her day. She would never have served a fish head at her table. She sent that fish right back to the kitchen to be properly prepared!

What about you – what’s the strangest, most adventurous, thing you’ve ever eaten? Leave a comment and tell us about it!

    My most adventurous eating was tacos de ‘sesos’ in Mexico. I liked them until I realized that ‘sesos’ means ‘brain’ – then I didn’t feel very smart!
