I really liked this story and you can tell is was the inspiration of a lot of contemporary middle grade books, like the warrior cats books. The conservationist message is nice even if the conversations the animals have about the humans feel a bit contrived. Each animal has its own personality which is great and I like how it doesn't shy away from the more gruesome aspects a journey like this would entail, it truly raises the stakes and makes this story one of epic proportions.
