Here's what readers have to say about this book....
ARC review of Stikki the Squirrel: Tree Spirits, by Jane H. Wood. Stikki the Squirrel: Tree Spirits is the second book in the Stikki the Squirrel Series, written and illustrated by the author Jane H. Wood. The story centres around Stikki, and his friends and family, as the author transports readers back to the magnificent Hazy Hills Wood, to find our intrepid hero and his beloved wife Rella, being pursued by a pack of hungry foxes. The pair have a narrow escape, saved in the nick of time by two longlegs, (humans) twelve-year-old, Sophie and her father Evan Davis. Unbeknown to Sophie, and her father, their act of kindness has devastating consequences, as Stikki and Rella's Kits are left alone in Hazy Hills Wood to fend for themselves. Jane Wood's beautiful story is characterised by its lucidity and endearing charm, her wonderful characters such as Stikki, Rella, Brodboar, Cecilpeck, Coppertail and Rosehip, are relatable and extremely well-drawn. The group of Woodland friends, steadfast in their comradery and endearing love for each other, face adversity and adventures with moral dilemmas that will resonate with readers of all ages, especially children. The tale is beautifully written, crafted with wonderful prose, subtle humour and beautiful illustrations, that bring the characters and settings to life. Any child would be proud to have this book in their collection. I'm buying a paperback copy for my granddaughter Emily, who adores this series. Highly recommended. It's Five-Stars from me, and Emily, K.D. Sherrinford.
