A Girl Called Joy: Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week

It was fun and interesting

I like this book and I would say that Joy actually does have a talent for finding silver linings. It also teaches that you should find the good in people.

My favourite character was Joy. i wood recamend it to any one else.

it was really fun to read

This book is so positive, I couldn't help but smile while reading it. This book is one of those books that you read really fast and then wish it wasn't over. Now to get my hands on the sequel...

It was okay

She moves to England and goes to school for the first time, and then does a protest to stop people chopping down an oak tree.

I think this was my favourite book I read this summer. I like how even though Joy has a rough school experience at first she manages to turn things around and save the oak tree. I liked Joy the best because she never gave up no matter what. i recommend this book to someone who likes inspirational stories.

I thought that it was amazing how things took off. Joy had no friends until she met Benny, she wasn't doing very well in class until the project on history and the old oak tree from the book was going to get chopped down until they protested against it.
My thoughts on what I have read are that Joy is incredibly optimistic which is a great skill to have.
My favourite character was Joy because she tries to she the silver lining of everything and everyone. I also like how her Grandfather wasn't very interested in her or very fun, but she persisted to try to make her Grandfather have fun.
I would definitely recommend this book to someone else because it might encourage people to look on the bright side of things.

I definitely recommend this book, it’s really good but it took me a while to read as I kept reading other books!

I like how Joy and Benny protested to save the old oak tree. I like how the book describes all of the places Joy and her family have been to. I will definetly continue reading the series. I would recommend this to people who like adventure.

A fabulous book about Joy and her family. Joy is such a likeable character that you really get behind her and want her to succeed. We all know a Joy and we all have a little bit of Joy in us. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

This is such a great book that brings a little Joy into your life! This book has such a good and kind message, it is great for all ages! From reading the first page, I instantly fell in love with it. Enjoy!

This was a great positive book. I totally recommend to anyone who wants a light read on a Sunday morning. It has a great message 'always look for the silver
lining'!

Joy is the most wonderful character, with such a positive outlook on life. She can see the silver lining in all things, even the most challenging of situations like starting school for the first time, and having to settle down in Grandad's drab, grey house. I really enjoyed reading about Joy's adventures across the world, and the warm relationship that she has with all of her family. Joy's friendship with Benny warmed my heart - I wish I knew what happened to the oak tree in the end!
