'Millie and The Night Heron' is a novel by Catherine Batesman. It focuses on a young girl called Milllie and how she deals with moving town, leaving her best friends, her mums new boyfriend, the new love interest, being 'the new girl' and her new found love of photography.
The book is sweet and portrays the relationship between Millies mother and her really well. However, the book was quite dry and boring for me as I was not the ideal audience. I began reading the book, thinking that I would be able to relate with this girl who seemed to be around my age. Midway through the book however, I realized that she was not my age at all and was in year seven. This book was not at all suited to my age group and I did not enjoy it that much.
As a result of this, I don't think that my review of the book is particularly fair. Someone younger would have a very different opinion of the book ad they could enjoy the story immensely.
I give this book 3.5/10 to those in my age group and strongly suggest that they do not read it.
