I loved the firebirds because they trusted people and had their own land.

This book is perfect for anyone who reads it; beginner to reading more extensive books or not, it will enchant you to try it no matter what. While you step into the adventure, this book has for you.

I loved the boy firebird because he was a funny character that was very cute. I enjoyed when a girl helped saved all the firebirds that were in danger.

I thought it was good ,but not very keen on it I would not read it again. My favourite bit is when the red black dragon helps Lucas and Talia.

The secret Rescuers: The baby Firebird is a fictional book about a young girl named Talia who makes friends with a baby Firebird called Riki. My favourite character is Talia who gives her all to protect the Firebirds and their habitat from a man named Lord Fortescue. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a sweet and heartwarming book.

This was a fascinating token to the world of fiction fantasy, firebirds and dragons and I read it all in one go as I couldn't put it down! It was about two children, Talia and Lucas, saving endangered firebirds and other magical elements and creatures. My favourite character was Riki, the young firebird, because he was cute and amusing. I do recommend this book to those who like magical fantasy books.

I love this book so I asked for the rest of the series for my birthday! I can’t wait to read them! I like how Talia can talk to magic animals. I want to be a vet when I grow up and I wish I could talk to animals and understand them.

I liked it when Talia helped the baby firebird from the naughty ones. I also liked it when Sophy gave Lucas a special stone.

Talia and Tom need to save the firebirds... But their pool has been blocked. They won't survive. aila was so eager to help the firebirds she even accepted the offer of giving away her Speaking Stpone to the dragon for him to help her. But she needs her Speaking Stone...

I thought that this book was awesome. Lucas and Taila really obviously both like animals. They're magical-animal-mad! I think that Sir Friztroy is horrid, espicially because he had to ban Sophy from going when Taila really, really, really needed her help. Also, I think that it was really very mean of the dragon to take away the speaking stone from Taila. Taila must really love Riki to do that. Also, she must LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Riki and the other firebirds to do this. First of all, no one and no one at all would dare first of call the dragon. If they did it would be IMPOSSIBLE that they went intot he cave and IMPOSSIBLE that they kept on persisiting and annoying it until it woke up. At least when the dragon saw Riki and Tailia hugging he saw how much they loved each other and gave the speaking stone back. Also, I knew that Lucas would get a speaking stone. It was obvious! You could tell by the way he cared about the animals so much (even though maybe not AS much as Taila!) My favourite charcter is Tailia because she cares about the fire birds so much and has proved to willingly take huge risks for them, just to save them. I reccomend this book to everyone as it is awesome and amazing!

it is good but not great
Countess Honeycomb Scratchings 29.11.2020

I enjoyed this book because I liked how they could speak to the firebirds with the magical speaking stones. This is a great story for children who like reading about mythical creatures.
