Loved the magic! The red fox was my favorite part. I also love the lessons of compassion and intention in the magic. I also loved how action-packed the ending was. 

What would have bothered me as a kid (and therefore does as an adult) is the sesame-street-ification of all dialogue with adults. Adults in this story are perfect, flawless teachers of lessons. Every conversation with grown ups comes with a serving of "loving your brother" or "having pride in yourself" or "not running from anything" and those are good messages, but I wanted some normal conversation.

So glad this book exists! Loved learning about root work.
