"She was born in Outrebrume the island ruled with wisdom and virtue by her parents and their masters, free enchanted mists that surrounded it. Growing up she learned everything concerning his island how the boats were few who could reach across the mists, how none of those were from the island could not leave her by the sea and come back by the sea It was risky to cross the fog. Few animals were leaving the island, and fewer still manage to come back - but most could not imagine leaving Outrebrume, his valiant otters, squirrels its full range of his moles and hedgehogs its loyal and hardworking. There were woods and shores, burrows and tunnels, caves and waterfalls, hills and valleys, full of good things to eat, true friends, and the king and queen in the tower Outrebrume of overhanging rocks. " 
If this description does not give you the urge to embark on the island of Outrebrume is that you have maybe you killed the little child dreamer and I do not commend you. could find that the imaginary universe of Margi McAllister, populated by civilized animals in a medieval setting and fantastic, looks a little too one of the masterpieces by Brian Jacques (Redwall / Redwall, Martin the Warrior, etc. ) but his writing is different and intrigues as strong and equally unexpected twists. It follows
squirrel urchin Star since his fall from heaven, baby, during a night of shooting stars prelude to major changes in his life learning, pain, betrayal and friendship, until adulthood or almost.
But this hero is a character in a colorful gallery of unique animals and well drawn, all endearing, never simplistic. You will not find just the usual adventure novels youths but also fantastic themes rarely addressed in this genre:
eugenics and euthanasia of babies with disabilities or different, political regimes, the need for disobedience worse, sometimes the difficulty of distinguishing a tyrant in a clever and cunning demagogue liar (I do not think anyone in particular!), the power of rumors about the views and reflections on the almost Shakespearean exercise of power, and complexity to give a picture just to his subjects, even the best intentioned.
