Three Twigs for the Campfire was a charming short story about three siblings, Jack, Chelsea and Billy, each telling their own imaginative story during a camp-out at night. I thought the title of the book was great – it really fit perfectly with the content and atmosphere in the book. Three Twigs for the Campfire was a really fun book.I loved how well the stories were woven together. All three were strong and could have stood on their own for a quick children’s read, but combined, they made for a really creative book. Accompanied with fun and quirky illustrations too, this book was great entertainment.Jack, Chelsea and Billy were all likeable characters too although I did expect to see a bit more from them instead of the stories they were telling. I thought their caring nature and the way they acted with each other was a nice positive sibling portrayal for young readers. Billy’s fear of the dark would be relatable too for some children so the plot has all the appeal.Imaginative, creative and entertaining sums up Three Twigs for the Campfire for me and I think it’s written really well. A brilliant, fun choice for young readers and in fact people of all ages.4/5.*Book gifted for honest review.
