A review by lizaroo71
Urchin and the Rage Tide by M.I. McAllister
4.0
as a rule, i am not into reading series. i find that i don't like the feeling of incompletion nor do i like to feel like i have to do required reading.
this series has been an exception for me and i saw it through to book five. i discovered the first in the series at a book fair in my school. and once i met urchin and the other occupants of the isle of mismantle, i was hooked!
in the final book, the valiant animals are battling with mother nature: a rage tide. as the animals prepare to move to higher ground, there is a faction being lead by mossberry, a squirrel with some mental issues.
urchin finds himself in the mist of the rage tide attempting to rescue sepia of the songs, the squirrel he has not yet admitted to being in love with, when she is swept from his hands into the wild ocean. not only are the squirrels, otters, hedgehogs and moles that occupy the island worried about sepia's fate, but two adventurous hedgehogs have chosen this time to explore the island.
the author interweaves the storlines effortlessly and wraps up the fates of all of the mismantle charactesrs with a satisfactory twist.
i have thoroughly enjoyed reading this series and would recommend it to any one with a child older than nine that loves to read and likes animals. there are a lot of animals to keep up with, but it is worth the effort. you fall in love with these characters. i'm sad to see the end of the series.
