I knew this would be one of those stories that pulls on your heart strings and it does, but it’s also so much more.Thelma could be anyone of us. She works hard to provide for her son and no doubt again like some of us do, allowing work to take over our lives with family getting pushed into the background. This is something she realises quite quickly on the life changing day when her son has an accident leaving him in some sort of coma.I absolutely loved the idea of Louis’ book of wonders. A list of things he wants to do, very much a bucket list. It just shows what lengths a mother will go to for her child as Thelma sets off to full fill her sons list. I thought she was very brave and I felt like I shared the joys and pains as she experienced them herself.The Book Of Wonders really makes you realise what is important in life. It makes you want to live for the now and spend as much of that time with the people you love. It really does warm the heart as well as being a bit of an emotional roller coaster of a read. I cried and smiled along with Thelma. It’s definitely one of those books that could be life changing and you will certainly be glad you read it.My thanks to Quercus for an advanced readers copy of this book.
