I liked very much this book. My favorite character was Soot because he was kind with Stella and he saved her from Alberta.

I’m a big fan of David Walliams’s books and this book is also in my wish list of books. (there are only books by Walliams in my wishlist) This book is incredibly funny, interesting and has a unique ending with the newsagent ,Raj , having written a complaint note about him not being in this book! I’ve also noticed that in every single one of Walliams’s books, there is at least one part about bottoms. Rude!

My favourite person was Stella she is so smart. The bit i loved was where she is friends with the owl Wagner and when she does tricks and funny things to her awful auntie, I really enjoyed reading this book.

I can't belive an aunt could be so awful. The author was one of my favorite David Williams. So it was very intresting and good to read.

It’s about a girl in the Victorian times. The girl finds out that her ghost friend is her uncle. My favourite character was Stella, because she was very brave and she tried to defeat her aunt. I would 100% recommend this book because it was funny and mysterious.

It is about how Stella Saxby defeats her Aunt Alberta. Her aunt is like Ms. Trunchbull in Matilda. I like Wagner the best he is a very smart owl. I would recommend it to people aged 8-11. It is quit a good book.

26 Jul 2024

This is a fiction book. I like the character of Soot the most because although he has a very tragic story, he is also known as Uncle Herbert and he helps Stella crack the mystery of how her parents died. What I don't like is that Alberta has been disguised as Strauss (her 2nd favourite German composer) and when she reveals herself she introduces Stella to the owl rack. I will definitely recommend this book.

I thought it was really adventurous and maybe even a bit creepy

22 Jul 2024

I liked Stella the most because she never gave up. I loved the end because it ended up as a orphanage but a very fun one.
