Nayuleska's thoughts
This is
the first book I've read in this series and it is awesome! I will definitely
keep an eye out for the other books. It is written in a very light hearted
tale, is full of love and compassion, and plenty of team spirit. It shows how a
little encouragement goes a long way, and that you don't mess with a llama! My
favourite wasn't Lewis, it was Liberty. Her skill of escaping made me like her
from the start because I easily imagined her escaping from everywhere. I love
the realisation she has at the end about her life, it shows that maturing and
stopping some behaviour doesn't mean the end of enjoying life, a great message
for readers.
