Okay...so this book...what to say. I loved most of it. The first 3/4 of the book was a beautiful story about friendship, motherhood, survival...it had furry woodland creatures and a lovable robot. What's not to love! And then the last quarter of the book went awry in my mind's happy little forest land that I had built with Roz and Brightbill. Not to spoil anything- because it is definitely worth the read- but the last part of the book was disappointing and not at all what I wanted for my robot friend and her gosling son. I don't like books that set up a second book instead of wrapping up the first one and that's what I felt this one did. I felt as if I was left dangling.
Would I recommend it to students? Sure. Are they going to like it? Sure. Will I read the 2nd when it comes out? Sure (even if I am a little begrudging about it).
