This book was written in a manner that drew me into reading it. It is rich in detail and creativity. It has created a new genre of reading that I have never read before and is now my favourite read of 2024. It has inspired me to try new subjects in reading. I gave this book a 5/5 because of the way that Frank Cottrell Boyce writes the story. He creates a picture in your mind and you feel like you are in control of the book. Frank Cottrell Boyce is a incredible and talented writer that has inspired me and others to find there style of reading.

In the beginning the story dragged on a bit. Later on in the story it became more interesting. I did enjoy reading it.

This book started off boring (to me) but about 3/4 through it became exciting! My favourite character was the main character Noah, the boy who ‘broke the internet’ I liked this character because he was logical yet fun at the same time! I’d recommend this book to the years 4-7 as it was a fairy tale these years would enjoy.

An interesting book made of letters. I wouldn’t read more books if it was a series. But it still is a good book

I liked this book because it was interesting and unusual. It was a way to say that technology is bad for you. My favourite character in this fictional book was Ada because she is very calm and her name is Ada. I would recommend this book to other people.

This fiction book is really good. It's about a boy who snuck on his sister's school trip, but when things go wrong and the teacher goes missing, they are left alone and have to survive. While trying to survive they accidentally interrupt a heist involving prescious treasure.

I think it would be good if you like to have a laugh. I would recommend it to other people. It's a good fiction book. If it was factual, I would learn about uninhabited islands.

This book looked great but wasn't for me

It was a creative idea but not too far fetched so it was believable. I like how it involved Noah breaking the internet and all the letters. Noah was my favourite character. But it wasn’t as exciting as POP.
