Review:
The book as the name and the cover suggests is a perfect
children’s read with a lot of colors, surprises, beautiful friendship and
everlasting love. Marcle and the Pondan Land is a very refreshing, easy and
light read which can be completed in a single sitting.
The story revolves around a boy named Marcle and his sibling
Dani. There school life, there friends and how entangled a small detail in our
daily lives can be.
Important thing in this story is the mannerism and small
lessons that are hidden in the book. So if you are looking for a book for your
kid in order to teach them something; this book can do wonders. Without spoiling
much I can give a few hints about the good things which are around every corner of the book. Like the
way school life of these kids are projected, the way they behave around their
household and how they treat friends. Everything is shown very nicely and can
be a good learning extravaganza for your little ones.
Somethings were really off track too, like usage of few phrases
again and again, minor editing mistakes, these were the outer and small
problems. But the bigger problem was that the main aspect of the story “Pondan
Land” wasn’t shown in its full form. It could have really elevated the story
beyond any extremities. The unique characters could have been used more, there stories
could have been incorporated but still whatever was used it was in a nice way
to entertain readers of targeted age group.
Things I adored the most was the ending and the starting.
There was way too much to know and grasp. The middle was just like a bridge
between the two ends. Also I loved the illustrations, the color scheme, the spacing between the lines. These things are important if your target audience are children. This made the book a super comfy read.
Summing up- Marcle and the Pondan Land was a fun read, perfect for kids, away from hidden meanings. If you are an adult it can be good after a
heavy and dark read which might have threw you in a reading slump.
