A Stitch in Time by Daphne Kalmar - NO

A Stitch in Time by Daphne Kalmar, 167 pages.  Feiwel and Friends (Macmillan), 2018.  $17.

Content:  G 

BUYING ADVISORY:  NOT RECOMMENDED

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW

When Donut’s dad dies, she is devastated and then crushed as she realizes that her aunt is taking her away from her beloved Vermont woods to Boston.  In desperation, Donut runs away to the woods, where she can hopefully hide forever.

While I feel bad for Donut as she deals with her grief, her antics and their consequences do not ring true and do not endear her to me.
