From Kirkus: "Dark and skillfully distressing, this is a story for the bold."

BackstoryBooks | Apr 3, 2024 |

I'm glad the word "scary" is right in the title. "Scary" is not being used in a cute or ironic way here. This is not the kind of story where everyone is okay in the end. There's real danger and cruelty and death. But the story does have a bittersweet happy ending. All children's books should be as honest and hopeful as this one. (

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. (

This book was a lot of fun. The prose is crisp and often vivid, using a lot of unique images from nature, which works perfectly for an animal book. There are many scary parts and cliffhangers, often with the suggestion of the supernatural, but there are also many other emotions evoked throughout the story. I really enjoyed the interlacing. (

THIS is how you write a proper story with a chilly bite.
It gave me some proper chills. Hurray! This is great because it's hard to find anything to make me satisfyingly tingly.

Can somebody please explain why all the good stuff happens in the middle-grade lit? Lately all the good stories happen here.

This book is lovely. It's both a big overarching story and a collection of smaller stories (so you can do like the kits - devour one tale at a time, and stop if feels like too much). The tale is masterfully spun. It's mostly evenly horrible - in the best kind of way!

It's not all grim, though. There's humour and lightness, and adventure. It can hardly be called an adventure without some degree of fear.

As someone who did not much care for upright-walking animals (still don't, really), I feel kind of sorry for people who grew up with adoration for Beatrix Potter's stories and the like. Don't think they'd be able to look at them quite the same after reading this book.

AN IMMENSELY SATISFYING READ.

RECOMMENDED! (
