Phoenix Rising, a YA junk punk novel by Bryony Pearce: Book Review
I’m coming in at the eleventh hour with my review for the March British Books Challenge. It took me a long time to read Phoenix Rising, partly because I got distracted cutting trees down in the garden. Was that the reason I had a hard time connecting with this book? Here’s what happened. Junk-punk Junk-punk. I didn’t even know such a …
