A Child's Book Review of "The Stratford Adventure of Adrian & Tiddlywinks"
"I loved this book because it kept me interested throughout the entire story... I enjoyed how the two main characters (Adrian and Tiddlywinks) followed the same story line, but from different points of view. Another thing I enjoyed about it was how Adrian kept on trying to reach his goal, even though people kept on telling him he shouldn't act. I really loved this book and I think you would too"
