I don’t care that this book was written for middle school aged kids. As an adult, I found this book to be a great audiobook for a “cozy” but adventurous and thought provoking read. It’s a story about learning, adapting, friendship, and the harshness of the wild. The personification of the animals does eventually get very fictional, but that’s not necessarily a stern critique. It’s just an example of the reader needing to suspending disbelief in the name of some very good lessons to be learned and shared in this book. I’m actually really looking forward to reading the books that follow this one!
