Found abandoned on a beach and raised by the welcoming community of animals on the island of Mistmantle,a young squirrel named Urchin grows up peacefully. When the rule of the good king and queen is threatened and a murder throws the island into turmoil, Urchin must find the courage to save his home from an evil plot.

Readers of all ages, even though this is a children's book.

The characters and the interactions between them. I also enjoyed the way the set up for the plot and the way the characters solve it.

Read the next book in the series.

Excited to see what happens next, both in this book and the next one.

Built an interesting, colorful and consistent world with equally colorful characters. She maintains the plot throughout to keep readers engaged.

It's fun adventure, particularly for fans of books like the Redwall series.
