Amazing book! It's so popular but still underrated because of how good it is.
Plot:
South of Mirror Lake but North of Elm Grove, lies the town of Shady Hollow. All of its residents are animals with the intelligent traits of humans. Think Sing!, Zootopia, or Animal Crossing.
All of the townsfolk live in harmony. None would ever dream of changing that. But creatures aren't so sure when a toad is found floating in a pond with a knife in his belly. Dead.
Pros:
Amazing book! The mystery is complex and fun, the characters are lovable yet suspicious, and it will keep you on your toes.
Cons:
A bit hard to ease into, definitely complicated in some parts, but that's about it!
