That was a great story! Such excitement!
I liked this book because it had one animal .
I didn’t think I would like this book but it was ok
Leonora lives slap bang in the middle of nowhere.
So imagine how hard it is to understand( with no internet!) that her uncle is using her to get money!
Now Leo's on a mission to get him back!!!
Mildred was my favourite character because she is very silly and she cooks strange foods. I would definitely read the second book!
I thought it was exciting, fun and my kind of book. Leonora was talented, very smart and good at solving mysteries
It is awesome. Leonora’s inventions are totally mindblowing!
Great storyline.
Had high expectations of this book and I was excited to read a book with a young girl who was talented in STEM. I can definitely see my year 3s enjoying this book however I think it is best as an independent read rather than read aloud.
My fave person was Leonora because she literally built a ht air balloon out of food! And stopped her evil uncle from taking the formula
It's my first chapter book and I really loved it.
I liked it because it had a big cliffhanger at the end
I loved this book it’s really amazing how clever she is ! it interested me because the cover and blurb were really amazing also I don’t see many books with my name as the name of the main character.I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to just have a read about adventure stories
Leonora bolt is the main character and she had an evil uncle that spied on her and she got stuck in a cave and had to find a way to escape?!.?!?...
I enjoyed learning all about Leonora and her adventures…yes I would recommend
I really liked that book because it tells a story about a girl who is stuck with her dreadful uncle who only cares about his fame and fortune. So, she finds a way to escape. In the end, she moves to Snorebury and adapts to her new life as a secret inventor. And her companion, Jack returned
to his house. I really recommend this story to anyone who likes surprising adventures and mysterious fun. This is a fiction book.
I realy recommend this book to people who likes fun in a book.I like the end of the book because it all ended out well but she still dose not find her parents (she did not find them in the 2 book too).I liked that she made friends along the way.And with every book she finds out more about her parents and were they COULD be.🤩🤩
It's a great and engaging book! Being stuck on Crabby Island with Mildred's horrendous fish food has actually turned Leonora into an INVENTOR. One day a boy appears at the shore. Jack. Together, him and Leonora discover the truth about Uncle Luther, and HOW to stop him!
My favourite character is Leonora Bolt. I think the silliest character in this book is Captain Sprang because his singing is terrible! I liked this book because it is so funny. I would recommend this to other people aged 7.
It was kind of short, but I liked the inventions... and the otter!
Science and diversity
I thought it was a good book because it is about not to give up .
I liked Leonora because she was always building things and is an inventor.
I would recommend it to others because it is about trying your hardest even if things are not easy.
It was a good book about always being creative
I liked it. I would recommend it to anyone who likes good.vs.evil.
Imaginative and fun story. I liked that it left some issues unresolved at the end for a sequel!
I liked it because it was interesting. She found a boy and they became best friends. The story was exciting.
When your 8yo enjoys a book so much, he leaves it on your bedside table because it's a 'must-read' and 'you can't go back to school without reading it!' Well that sounded like a bank holiday lie-in treat to me!
We're both looking forward to book 2!

I really liked the subject of this book, it was really capturing , and kept me reading. I would defiantly
Recommend this to someone else.
It was brilliant
Another enjoyable, laugh out loud, book. Leonora is a brilliant inventor. She is a great role model for children, particularly girls, being involved in STEM. Mildred, the housekeeper, creates such unbelievably awful food. Leonora's friendship with Jack is brilliant. I would thoroughly recommend this book.
