Squirrels as soldiers in a sad battle
I am in my late 60s so not the target audience for this book, but I read a lot of children's books and no one loves squirrels more than I do. This is about a red squirrel who is adopted by a grey squirrel and has to prove his right to be part of the tribe. There are two warring factions of grey squirrels who ultimately have a major battle, with many losses and this might reflect the 2016 reality of the world, but it's not what I want to read about in a book about talking animals. I live near Central Park where a red squirrel survived among the greys for 3 lonely years. She defended her territory and her stock pile of food, and had no companions to romp with or comfort her. She eventually disappeared suddenly, probably the victim of one of the many park hawks. This book brought her back vividly to me, but other than that, I didn't enjoy it.

Loved it!
I thought Lucky was a brilliant book. I read it really quickly and couldn't put it down. My favourite characters were Tarragon and Lucky and I couldn't wait to see how it ended. I hope there is another book about Lucky. Lizzie age 8
