The Golden Glow by Benjamin Flouw
3.0
I'm sure this a fine book for someone who likes to read about journeys, but I hate journey books.
Having said that, this a quiet story of one fox's quest for a flower so elusive that no one has ever seen a picture of it. So, does he take his camera? No. He takes his note pad, because of course, that will be enough to prove he has seen the flower.
As he walks, we get to know about the animals and plants that he sees along the way. I'm not sure where this story takes place, but I recognize the plants he names, and have seen them growing, although some, like forget-me-nots are an invasive species that will take over.
It is a quiet sort of story. I'm not sure if I could walk 6000Ft in one day, but then I am not a fox.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
