Why read it?

1 author picked Blue Mountain as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m partial to stories that create a set of beliefs and identities for animals. Martine Leavitt does this in a way that’s at once simple and profound. Tuk is a fantastic character that young readers will relate to and root for. If your child liked Pax and A Wolf Called Wander they will love this book.

From PJ's list on with animal POV.
