i read this book as an alternative to the current books for young adults, and was quite impressed with a book that seems to be passing quietly by. It contains adventure, action and an interesting set of characters that move the interesting story along. Its a good insight in to british wildlife, and with its characters all animals puts a different twist on most books out there. It is at its core a book about good vs evil and at times may be a little predictable, and i also would have liked it to be a bit longer, but the characters and story kept me engaged and now awaiting the sequel. I would reccommend this book to anyone who likes a story of good vs evil battling against each other, just for the characters and world that the author has created. i hope that the sequel is longer and a little less predictable, but think this may possibly turn in to a series of books that may turn a few heads.
