Recensioner

The pictures of the hedgehog were cute. The story was a bit longer than what we usually read, and the start was slow. We learned a lot of interesting facts about hedgehogs - like they like to eat dog biscuits crumbled, and bugs! We also learned about the RSPCA and the work they do. Toran's favourite character was the baby hoglet because he was so cute. His favourite incident was their visit to the RSPCA because of all the animals described there.

I love how this story was very... lighthearted, if you will. Although slightly predictable, the story is very pleasant. There are no complicated words or sentences. Even my 20-year-old sister, who wouldn't read any book that has no pictures/illustrations, managed to finish the book in quite a short time, all things considered.

I admit I cried as Jodie helplessly lost Samphire, as I, like Jodie, have helplessly watched something/someone we love slip away. Jill expressed Jodie's loss so tragically that you can't help but feel pain for her. And to top it off with Ed's illness, it was a very noble sacrifice that I think would tug at anyone's heartstrings.

And then when those guys in the forests were hurting Samphire, I actually felt Jodie's rage, and then her desperation as Samphire clung on for life. It was heartbreaking, but without it sounding too depressing.

On a different note, this book was the first book that drew my eyes in a book fair, and I immediately grabbed it when I saw it. And I have to say, there are no regrets.

This is a very sweet story, and if you like horses you will love reading this

The book is aimed at a younger crowd, but reading it took me back to being young, loving horses, riding and spending every free minute at the stable.
The book is beautifully written and tugs at your heart as Jodie deals with several huge things in her life.

I really liked reading this.
