Author: Ann Sei Lin Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars  Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy Published Date: July 5, 2023 The second book in the Rebel Skies series - Rebel Fires continues off where the first ended with Kurara separated from the crew of the Orihime. Stranded in the forest and with a long journey ahead the group must catch up with the ship and stay ahead of the princess that’s after them.

As a kid I always struggled when it came down to reading, that was probably also due to the undiagnosed dyslexia as well. The books at school weren't fun to me and I had a really hard time engaging with the material we were tasked to read. That was until I found the kinds of books that I actually loved to read - shockingly at the time for me it was Twilight - and since then it's been a struggle for me to put a book down.  The amount of times I would get told off at school for reading during the lessons were too many to count. To try and help you find the right book for your kids to get them into reading I've come up with 3 books that I think might just do the trick. 1. Alex Rider - Anthony Horowitz.
