"
This is a really fun little coming of age type adventure. And as always, Kingfisher’s dogs do not disappoint. It’s not an especially complicated story but that’s part of the appeal. I can definitely see myself rereading this.

Sometimes when you are trying not to think about something it keeps popping back into your head you can’t help it you think about it and think about it and think about it until your brain feels like a squashed pea.

“The things we fear the most are often the things we should fear the least. It’s irrational, but it’s what makes us human. And if we’re able to conquer those fears, then there is nothing we’re not capable of.”

“I am but paper. Brittle and thin. I am held up to the sun, and it shines right through me. I get written on, and I can never be used again. These scratches are a history. They’re a story. They tell things for others to read, but they only see the words, and not what the words are written upon. I am but paper, and though there are many like me, none are exactly the same. I am parched parchment. I have lines. I have holes. Get me wet, and I melt. Light me on fire, and I burn. Take me in hardened hands, and I crumple. I tear. I am but paper. Brittle and thin.”
