This was very cute and I regretted finishing it in public because I wanted to cry! I loved October and her voyage of self discovery and I liked how her arc tied into Stig the owl's story too. 
 I was also a big fan of all the mud larking chat and want to go to the museum. (Is the museum real? Has anyone been?)
I borrowed this one from the library and I'm going to renew it so I can read it to Fox and Tabitha.

 I did have a few problems/questions but they were all geographical or economical and it's a kids book and they're things I wouldn't have thought about as a child so I forgive them. But seriously where was her dad getting money and where was this huge, remote woodland within a short drive from London that no one ever even walked their dog in?
