Winnie the Pooh meets The Troop (minus the monster). It was heartbreaking but also surprisingly heartfelt at times. You couldn't help but feel for all of the characters, even Enzo, in the end.

This book reminds me of Lord of the Flies. While I “enjoyed” reading it, I agree that the thoughts and actions of the children seemed way beyond their described age.

I really enjoyed this book, it was a short read that i didnt want to put down. The writing was pretty bad in some places, but maybe that was due to the translation. I kept screaming at the kids in my head because of the decisions they made and had to remind myself that they're just kids.

The writing in this book was fun to read, but aside from that...there's nothing really compelling me to recommend this to anyone

Interesting take on writing children; hard to imagine their dialogue as six year-olds would speak but makes the suffering heartbreaking. Would NEVER read again.
