Reviews and Comments
Exodus is a gripping book. It is a memorable book. I could not put it down. But sometimes describes too much and there is not much action. Mara’s island is drowning. Is there any hope for the people of Wing? She meets a mysterious fox in the weave. He tells her of a forgotten town in the sky. Will they get there? I would recommend this book to girls 11+! This is a book you must read! I rate it 4.5 stars!
