First, I’d like to say that I am incredibly lucky. Not only was I approved to listen to this as an audiobook on Netgalley (I am so excited for these!!!) but I also got an ARC in the mail since BEA was cancelled this year. Sadly the art wasn’t in it yet, so I know I’ll have to get a copy for my nieces when it comes out and that way I can check out the art!
I have to say I need to read more middle grade novels as the ones I’ve recently read were excellent. I was enthralled by this sweet story. I loved the relationship that the siblings had, and how much information was packed into the pages.
Truly I think the best description I could give this was a mix between the Polar Express and living out a Ranger Rick magazine. Between learning about migration, endangered species, habitats, and invasive species this tale is wonderful for highlighting that adventures that can be found on our own earth.
I highly recommend this for any of your children, nieces, nephews, or even for us big kids who are looking for a touch of wild magic ourselves.
Thanks to NetGalley for the audio ARC, and BookExpoAmerica for the physical ARC in exchange for an honest review.
