Ella West | Night Vision Book Review

Kia Ora, my name is Kody and i'm doing a book report on Night Vision.
Night Vision is a fiction book set in the Canterbury Pine Forest on a farm
with a family of 3 struggling to pay their rent/mortgage. The twist is The
main character finds a bag and witnesses something that can potentially
change her family's life  


The main character of the book is a girl named Viola. Viola was named after
her mum’s favorite instrument. Viola has XP it’s a genetic disorder that
makes the body unable to repair damage (DNA Damage, Skin Damage) from
UV and it creates small growths that can turn out to be cancers and
mutations. Viola is a sweet but insecure girl that stays inside all day and
goes out at night. Her family consists of 3 people her, her dad and her mum
they live out in the pine forest by themselves with the closest city an hour
away. Viola’s mum is a musician and Viola’s dad is a farmer. They struggle to
keep up with money until Viola witnesses something that changes her life.
Viola has just watched a murder scene and has follow the man who has done
the crime, It's lucky she does follow him beacuase what she see’s him do
next is life changing.


The book itself is compellingly enjoyable and is great for people around the
11 - 17 mark. I found it  is very pleasant to read during cold winter day when
you can't go outside and want to stay warm. 

I would give this book a 4.5 out of 5 because the ending wasn't as thrilling as
I thought it would be but the rest of the book was really hooking and i was
drawn to reading the book and i really enjoyed it.
