An admitted fan, I was not surprised to like this book. Durst reveals her love of talking animals. I, too, am fond of anthropomorphism. It can be found in my own books. This book provides some serious lessons on self-acceptance and acceptance of others.
Holly is a squirrel whose self-image was severely damaged when she supped from the magic pool and found her resultant magic skill was not well regarded by a wizard’s council. Relegated to a home for rejects, Holly tries to make all who arrive feel better about themselves.
The story is written at a very young adult or mid to late elementary school age. However, it provides lessons that would well serve any age.
The magic skills of the wayward home rejects are amusing. The story has very mild conflict and should be suitable for any age child.
I recommend the book.
