Some of the author’s sentences were constructed so beautifully–good writing gives me such joy!
The suspense is generally minimal, yet one keeps wanting to read more. The animals’ devotion to the journey (and to each other) draws readers in like few tales can do.
I highly enjoyed this book and definitely recommend it.
