Reviews from Our Readers

Hattie (Age 8)

Rating: 5 / 5

This book is about
It's about a boy who doesn't have any family and he lives with a man who cares for him and a woman who gives him some very odd jobs! One day he has to go to play with a girl called Estella and he falls in love with her.

The main characters are
Pip (the boy), Mr Joe, Mrs Joe, Estella, Mrs Havisham and Magwitch (a criminal)

My favourite part of the book is
When Pip finds out that his surprise visitor was Magwitch!

I would also like to say
It's very good and I would give it 100/100! Read it!
