Utterly enchanting and gorgeously written. I lost myself in Silverthorn Forest with Tuftorious Snook and Max, and I highly recommend that everyone else does the same. Beneath this story’s warmth and charm is an extremely timely message about the importance of looking after the world around us and standing up for what is right.
