Anna and the Snowglobe by Vicki Jones
Your review correctly points out the habit of quite a few members in the society who like to intimidate people with force.The loving care of David and the likes of such persons today is a rarity.The ones who loose their loved ones are more prone to the harsh behavior and we should abhor this sort of attitude.The persons with such attitude should be treated in a manner to reduce their abnormal attitude with loving and forgiving care.

So awful for a child to lose her parents, only to move in with relatives and be bullied by them. Terrible! Sadly, I'm sure there are plenty of situations like that which is why a book like this is so important. Anything to help young people cope and overcome obstacles such as bullying, anxiety, etc. is wonderful in my eyes. Thanks for your review!

Latest Review: I'm Going to Kill that Cat by F. Della Notte

This book seems like one of those fun reads I would choose back in my middle school days. That's not to say I wouldn't consider reading it today. I'm actually curious on why Anna disappears after the last snowflake falls in the snowglobe. It's sad that Anna had a difficult upbringing as well. Great job on your review!

Thanks for this review! Wasn't expecting the snow globe to have magical powers but it seems like a fun twist. I like how parents can share this book with children and teach them about what others go through, or how to cope with bullying. :D

As a teacher and a lover of magical tales, Anna and the Snowglobe appeals to me personally. I would love to use it in my work as a teaching tool especially in the issue of bullying. Thanks for the review.

A book that highlights the themes of bullying, loss, and anxiety especially in the context of teenagers sounds good. The character of Anna is also well developed. Great review.

Losing your loved ones is the most difficult path to stand on,and being tortured the second one.The way this review has been written is giving me goose bumps to read the book myself.Earlier I joined review team,and took a book for review after reading and reviewing that book I will give a read to it too.

Thanks for a good book review, I think this book is good for my sibling at home. It starts by a touching death of Anna's parents but later on seems to be very interesting and educating to children.
