Great Read
This was a wonderful book. Emilie has epilepsy, and throughout the book she has to find courage within herself to do every day things. She isn't sure how to relate to her peers, and she doesn't care about leaving her comfort zone. I loved the amount of character development in this book. Emilie's point of view changes as she experiences thing she was previously to afraid to try. The theme of the book, like the title suggests, is hope. It is conveyed really well, and the end will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.

This is one of my most favourite books. I’ve recommended it to friends and family to read, I’ve even bought it as presents for them. I loved it. It’s one of those books that you can become completely immersed in. I really empathised with the hardships, bravery and courage of the characters. This was the first Kristin Hannah novel I read, and I’m so glad I picked it up (yet another of my choices based purely on the cover!). I’ve never been a big war novel fan, but this caught my imagination from the outset. Well worth reading!!

A great first volume! Saga is definitely NOT for children. The story hooked me from the first pages. The characters are interesting and different. Adding the innocence of a baby into the story pushes the story in a direction that demands strength, courage, and emotion right next to the vulgarity of war. I look forward to reading about what happens next. There is a lot going on in the story with different characters' places in the war, but it's still easy to follow. If you're on the fence about giving this story a try, read it!!

This book is beautiful, so stunning from the cloth bound cover to the illustrations and card pages. It's so good I don't want anyone to touch it. The presentation is on point. The book is about loss, friendship and courage. The fox is guided by the star in the dense woods, with the stars illiumination the fox is able to run around eating bugs and chasing rabbits until one day the star is gone and everything is dark and scary. The fox must make a journey through the dark woods to find his star and leave his comfort zone.
