Ruby’s Review

What did you think of the book?

Rescue Rosie is a great book. Rosie does a bunch of exciting rescues and my favourite one was when Rosie was rescued. I liked how Rosie gets the idea of being Rescue Rosie just by being rescued herself. The book reminded me of my holidays on the canal with my family and made me look forward to our next holiday on the canals cos they’re so much fun.

Was there anything you didn’t like about the book?

Nothing! But in the next book, I would like to see  Rosie rescue someone on the Llangollen canal as I loved going over the big aqueduct on our old boat Sunseeker

Who was your favourite character and why?

Henry because I liked how free and playful he was

What was your favourite part of the book and why?

I liked the last chapter because it was all Christmassy and I liked the thought of all the boats decorated with trees and lights.

Do you recommend the book?

I certainly do! 100% in fact. It’s just so good I couldn’t put it down and read it all in one go.

Would you read more books by this author?

Definitely

Can you give the book a rating out of 5 with 1 being poor and 5 being excellent

5/5 I just love how there’s even a puzzle for you to solve in every chapter working out which canal and where Rosie is. I didn’t know but my granddad did and he would tell me about when he had been on that bit of canal too. After reading this book I can’t wait till we go back on the canal!
