Book Review: Runt
December 9, 2023
I loved reading about Annie Shearer and her clever adopted stray, Runt. Halfway between “Babe” and “Matilda”
Alex can usually be found in the Picture Book department at Telling Tales. She enjoys children’s fiction, photography and art books, and literary fiction. She cannot go past a beautiful illustration, and loves books that are idiosyncratic, dark and funny. Favourite authors include Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen, Janet and Allen Ahlberg, Margaret Mahy, Margaret Atwood, Annie Proulx and Emily St. John Mandel.

Birdy is a 13-year-old girl living in Medieval Britain. Her diary chronicles her daily life and ongoing battle against her father
As summer turns to winter and back again, Molly learns to adjust to her new life and the changes and challenges she faces without her mother.
The characters all bring their own quirky strengths to the mission to save the magic tree that is their home.
Quirky yet totally relatable characters who must solve a mystery and discover the joy and power of chosen family.
