Hootworthy or Not?
🦉 Owl Be Reading Review: Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park by Ayisha Malik 📖 Hoot Factor – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This story was a bit slower than the others, but I really liked Fanny as a character. She was kind and thoughtful, even when people didn’t always treat her well. It was interesting to see how she stayed true to herself! 🎨 Owl-some Illustrations – ⭐⭐⭐ No pictures, but I could imagine the grand houses and fancy balls! 💡 Little Owl’s Takeaway – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Being kind and true to yourself is always the right choice. 💬 Hoot or Boot? – 3/5 Hoots – A fun read! Not as exciting as some of the other Austen books, but still really good!
