Risa and others, I bought this book to send to my 8 yr old niece because my neighbor's son really likes this series. But when I read parts of it, the two ferrets, Veil and especially his father, were so mean. They were the meanest characters in the book and it is kind of violent. I was very disappointed. I wanted her to get a good impression of ferrets. So I don't think I'm going to send it to her. Ironically, the badger character was so sweet. I couldn't return the book, so I may just give it to my neighbor. Risa, if you read it soon, let me know what you think. Same goes for others. Shron [Posted in FML issue 4447]
