Review: Oliver and the Seawigs by Philip Reeve




      What an amazingly fun book!  This was my first time to read a book written by Philip Reeve and I was definitely not disappointed.

     Since I teach 1st grade Im always on the lookout for books that will be appealing to my students.  I will definitely be purchasing Oliver and the Seawigs to add to my classroom library.

     Olivers childhood was an adventure in itself, but when Olivers parents turn up missing, his search for them becomes an adventure like none of his past experiences.  Along this quest for finding his parents he meets some very interesting characters.  I was fascinated by the imagination of the author as he created the story line for each of these characters.  

     I enjoyed this book so very much!  It was so delightful, entertaining, adventurous... and I think my first graders will totally love it! 

      The illustrator, Sarah McIntyre, definitely complements the authors words and story.  It is such a magical book and her illustrations are perfect for the characters and the events that happen throughout the book! 


      Get it!  Read it!  You will love it!



***Disclosure*** - I received a free digital copy of Oliver and the Seawigs in exchange for my honest review of this book.
