it's a simple book with simple storyline. it's suitable for school-aged kids (yes, i'm way too far for the age range), but it's fine if you prefer a light book. to be honest, quite plain with a small expected twist at the end. i still prefer goose girl than this, though.
what makes me read to the end though is that shannon always brings something unique into her book. in this case, she has these 'poems?' or 'haikus?' (not sure what they are, i'm bad at literature) to open every new chapter, and i love them.
No wolf falters before the bite
So strike
No hawk wavers before the dive
Just strike
So strike
No hawk wavers before the dive
Just strike

I'll raise the ladle to your lips
Dips water on your fingertips,
And stay although my heart says flee
Will you look up and smile at me?
Dips water on your fingertips,
And stay although my heart says flee
Will you look up and smile at me?

Look no farther than your hand
Make a choice and take a stand
Make a choice and take a stand
