✨Blog Tour✨: Egg Marks the Spot by Amy Timberlake I’ve never read a book as clever as this! Such a great story and message to the young kids! I was totally enthralled by this book. I took to heart both Badger and Skunk in very different ways, but they both clung to my spirit because I am a bit of both. Badger; the Type A, serious, matter of fact, organized planner is a Rock Scientist, and unbeknownst to him, will be embarking on an epic journey. Skunk; the free-spirited, book review reader, brilliant chef, procrastinator, and social butterfly is Badger’s roommate. They are as opposites as opposites get, but are also two very supportive friends. This book will take you on a wild adventure, as you clamber through the days with Badger and Skunk, find yourself turned around in a cave, have you hooting and hollering with the rats and cats, and cheering on both Badger and Skunk as they both get out of their comfort zones. Some of the topics that stood out to me were: - Friendship - Opposites attract - Support - Bullying - Self-determination - Preparedness - Time management - Networking - Solidarity - Trust - Gratefulness - Sincerity - Conflict Resolution - Problem solving Very positive messaging, and I really enjoyed the scientific facts that I learned about rocks, chickens, and dinosaurs. I was also very amused at both Badger and Skunk’s personality; they both packed quite a punch. *FYI - I liked this book so much I bought the first installment of Skunk and Badger!! Thank you to Algonquin Young Readers and Amy Timberlake for this book in exchange for a fair and honest opinion.
