When a natural disaster upends her troop, Snub must shed her jealousy toward her younger brother to become his protector in a dangerous, changing landscape. It provides a unique lens for discussing sibling rivalry, the weight of accountability, and resilience. While the characters are animals, the emotional landscape is deeply human and sophisticated, making it ideal for readers aged 12 and up who appreciate nature and complex emotional growth.
