Welcome to my Review of the incredible What Milo Saw by Virginia MacGregor
What They Say:
A BIG story about a small boy who sees the world a little differently
Milo curled his thumb and forefinger together to make a small hole and held his fingers up to Al's eyes. 'Look through here. That's what I see. Kind of, only worse.'
'Wow, that must be amazing.'
Milo shrugged. 'Not really.'
'I mean, it makes you focus, doesn't it? I bet you see all kinds of stuff that other people miss.'
What I Say:
I really wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this book. I had heard nothing but praise for it but just really had no idea...
Milo is an incredible little boy. He's 9 years old and he sees things differently to us. This makes him just completely astonishing to me! He's so clever! He's intuitive, gutsy, kind, caring, honest and sensitive. He cares so much for his Gran (and his little pet pig Hamlet) that he's willing to lose everything to take care of her.
When things start to fall apart for the Moon family, Milo knows he has to make it right. But, bless him, he doesn't quite go about it the right way. He gets a helping hand and meets some great friends along the way. Trippi and Clouds are awesome people and I love how they interact with little Milo.
I didn't expect tears when I began reading this but I can assure you, there were tears! Such a heartfelt, warm, funny, sweet and tender book! I have been (and will continue to) recommending this to anyone who will listen! A huge 10/10
What Milo Saw is out now in Paperback.
Thanks to Netgalley for giving me and e-copy in exchange for my honest review.
