My review of Queenie in Seven Moves
Queenie in Seven Moves is a delightful story about 12 year-old Queenie and her mum's search for a new home.
Queenie loves her home but when the house is sold her and her mum are forced to move. Relying on the kindness of friends Queenie and Clare, over the course of the summer school break, move seven times. With each move Queenie learns a little more about herself. Her belief in herself slowly grows as she makes new friends, takes new challenges, and takes the time to renew an old friendship.
Queenie in Seven Moves is such a gorgeous story and twelve-year-old Queenie is a treat with her moods and possessiveness of her mother. It's all so relatable!
It was lovely to follow Queenie's journey as she gains the confidence to step outside her comfort zone and be her best self.
Queenie learns that change won't kill you, it makes you stronger.
Queenie in Seven Moves is a delightful story about growing up, moving forward and realising your dreams.
Content: When Queenie checks her Christmas stocking she states that the contents are from her mother. As this book is targeted to ages 8+, parents will need to decide what they think their child will read into that.
* I have just checked publisher's website this book is recommended for ages 10 - 13 years
My rating 4.5 / 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐½
