Reviews / Votes
"This book has themes of kindness, loyalty andfriendship. It promotes inclusion, empathy and compassion. However, it would
have been beneficial to have the author explain the meaning of the term
"green-eyed monster," about jealousy, to the readers. It may not be a term the
age group would be familiar with."
