Ayan's Book Review
Journey Beyond the Burrow
-by Rina Heisel
Hi,
Are you ready for an adventurous tale? If yes, read this exciting and cute yet edge-of-the-seat action-packed book by debut middle-grade author, Rina Heisel.
'Journey Beyond the Burrow' is a fascinating adventure of how Tobin, Wiley, and Talia—three very resourceful mice—search for Tobin’s baby brother, who was captured by attacking spiders.
As they pursue the spiders’ lair, they encounter many other dangers of the forest, like snakes, owls, and foxes. With these (and many more) hurdles in their way, they struggle to even survive. Will they be able to defeat the predators, get past the spiders and free the baby? Or will one have to sacrifice oneself for the mission? Read this book to find out!
The themes in this book include teamwork, perseverance, and friendship. The main characters—Tobin and Talia have a lot of perseverance and like working as a team, while Wiley is quick-witted (and sometimes reckless) but also a great friend.
I find this book a lot like the 'Freddy the Detective' series, in which Freddy goes out on dangerous expeditions with his friends (and once almost got eaten by a crocodile
).
I recommend this book as a read-aloud for 5+ and as a reader for 8+.
I give this book 5/5 stars as it was a fun read.
We received an ARC of this book.
Happy reading!

P.S. We love Tobin's rules, and the best is Rule 1. Want to know what it is? Read the book to find out.
