My book review is of SeaBEAN by Sarah Holding. The book is about a girl that finds a black object on a beach on a VERY small island called St Kilda. When she touches it, she gets an interesting surprise, because if you touch the SeaBEAN, your warmth leaves a mark on it, but it wears off. My favourite character in the book is Spex the dog, who the main character, Alice, picks up (accidentally) in London. Spex is funny because he is always active and he has perfect timing in everything! What I think is interesting about the book is the SeaBEAN, which can teleport to ANYWHERE in the world and do lots of other cool stuff. I would love to have one of these!
My favourite bit of the book is when they find a parrot in the rain forest, they also find a really big chunk of gold and nearly get caught by miners! I found the book a bit crazy and adventurous, but it also makes you think about things a lot, like messing up the planet.
If you put heat on the front of the book it does the same as the SeaBEAN does. I am putting a 5 star rating on it!
