This is one of my favorite books of all time! A truly magical story, I read it every night! It was a great experience to read, I loved the characters, the dialog, and the plot! I was holding my breath whenever it came to a dramatic part. Definitely in my top 3 books.
Urchin was found one night on the beach on a night of riding stars and was adopted by a kind squirrel. After King Brushen and Queen Spindle's son is found murdered, Urchin must help stop the mysterious traitors that hide somewhere.
THIS BOOK IS AMAZING. This has been one of my favorite books for a LONG time. As soon as I read it, I fell in love. I loved the story, I loved the characters, I loved the world. It is truly a masterpiece of fiction, and way underrated. Definitely read this book!
