Review: The rain won’t stop and it flooded everything washing away their camp, the kids decide once the rain does stop to camp out in Raven’s garden and watch the shooting star show that Fox teaches them all about. Each one of them makes a wish on the stars and magic comes from them instantly.
This one was actually quite sad with Willow’s brother being sick, the story of Fox’s grandma, losing camp to the weather and the bird too. I’m glad though with the way it was written and how sweet the story was. Though you do constantly feel so sad them all.
I loved that within in the story you get to learn all about shooting stars, it was a really clever addition within the story and I loved that. The illustrations within this book are just utterly stunning and I loved the blue colour throughout it.
This series is really fun, really sweet, has such a great friendship team, teaches in a fun way about nature and animals and many other things and is so easy to read. I highly recommend this series they are such a fun adventure series.
