I thought this was really delightful. First of all, Mira Bartok's illustrations are so lovely, and so perfect for the book and I find it amazing when an author writes and illustrates their own books. This follows Number 13-a fox groundling who is stuck in a wayward home for misbegotten creatures as he finds his name, his hope, and friendship. It is full of adventure and journeys and discovery, and it feels very much like my favorite books when I was younger. It talks a lot about how some people invite hatred into their lives because of bitterness, and how you have to choose hope. I hope there will be more of these, because I found it just really a really enjoyable read.
