Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A standard children's book set up with adult themes. This is becoming pretty common. But Bach goes further by making the book of the shape, size, and length (and with illustrations) of a child's book. The characters perform adult jobs and have thoughts and feelings with all the ambiguity and shades of grey and conflicting desires covering the past, present, and future that a child (by lack of experience) can't hope to really appreciate. Females are important and equal characters in these books, so that's a bright spot. Also see 'Rescue Ferrets at Sea' no reviews | add a review
Daring to ask the question, What could happen if everyone did their best all the time?, Bach's new story intermingles fantasy, philosophy, and spirituality to spin a timeless tale full of soaring adventure and delightfully infectious optimism. Unabridged. No library descriptions found. |

Bach does include some of his favorite philosophy in a way that blends with the story, not preachy, which I consider a good thing. I'd like my grandkids to be reinforced in listening to their "higher truth". Although I'm not sure if the romance angle would be boring to young kids--but, really, 2 ferrets aren't going to get too romantic.
I always enjoy getting reminded of destiny, guidance by angels, and keeping open to love (tho I limit my Bach reading to less than once/yr so I don't get overdosed). ( )
