Rusty Ruins the Fort and Other Important Things

Title: Rusty Ruins the Fort and Other Important Things

Author: Anna Lenoir

Publisher: Bee & Peacock
 
ISBN: n/a
 
Thoughts: I know that this story was meant to teach young readers about feelings and impulses, which is what the Flickerlings represented, but they were confusing, both in quantity and autonomy, and took away from what was otherwise an enjoyable story for elementary kids.

Rating: 2/5
