Rating:

The introduction was interesting, witty, and detailed. It’s interesting because it has lots of trouble already happening on the first chapter, not like it’s just repeating itself about the characters life and other boring parts. It’s witty because it has lots of smart sayings and it makes the characters look really smart. It’s detailed because, it talks about something and describes everything about it, using all the 5 senses. It’s a page-turner in throughout the first chapter.

There were lots of exciting events. It was creative in its plots. For example, one of the events was when Wren turned into a fish and started talking fish language without even realizing it! It was exciting because it didn’t have dull events like," The house flooded so we went swimming", it had events that really hit you. It would be like you’re snoozing off while reading a book but then it BANGS at you! The problems in Wren’s Quest were so different from other books I’ve read. It really seems like a movie while reading it.

The character personality is very common. For example, all the books I’ve read had characters that have funny, smart, and blunt main characters. This book was also like that. The author didn’t really describe them. Like for Wren, if she were alive and had the same personality as she has in the book, then I would just be a "hi","bye" friend. I wouldn’t be a close friend because it was like cake. Cake sometimes has frosting and under the frosting is the cake mix. It’s like that for Wren, the author just describes the part of Wren that’s not important, not the inner part of her that would make her seem more real.

One lesson in this book was that you should never give up, even if what you’re trying to do doesn’t please others. Another lesson was that you should always stick up for your friends. That you should never let them go, for there might never be an another person as special as them in the world. These two main lessons that were taught in this book are true. [Linda]
