It sounds interesting for a MG read and it does sound like a fun one, and it's great there's no talking down going on and it gets a little darker without being dark and keeping the MG tone right.<br /><br />Pashmina sounds brilliant, that's the kind of book you want coming out and the fact it's a good story and good illustrations is great. It may have had it's abrupt moments but I still want to read.<br />Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-33304242097810296512017-10-17T11:14:37.177-04:002017-10-17T11:14:37.177-04:00It totally makes sense!

The eating of endangered species would have ticked me off as a kid in the Great Hibernation, but I know kids it wouldn't bother. Still the plot does sound interesting for a MG.
