I really liked how the kids were written in this one. The author really captured the endearing, random things that kids will say, while keeping it realistic feeling. The narrator of the audiobook also had excellent delivery of their dialogue. There was plenty of other interesting things about this book, but the kids struck me.

One of my greatest sources of anxiety in this world is the relentless march of capitalism and the overwhelming presence of advertising, and the removal of emotion and human connection, connections with nature. This book is basically just about that. The writing is solid, the plot was progressing well, I was just too anxious reading it because it completely exemplifies what keeps me up at night. Nothing wrong with the book, if anything it's just too good at what it is supposed to be
This seems like it has great promise as a story, on the one hand. On the other hand, it was slow in a way that didn’t feel reflective, just unnecessary detail. Possibly I’m missing the value of those details though, so I might give it another try at some point.
