Thoughts
This is a book I read as a child. I only ever found it in a particular library, never again. So I was very pleased to find a copy in a second-hand books place in country Victoria. The copy is battered, but all the pages are there, so this is good.
It's interesting coming back at this as an adult. The concept of the Flugs is still as good as ever. I also really like the way that trust and fear are important in this world. Yeah, some things are a bit simplistic, but this is a children's book.
I was not so happy with the reincarnation aspect, but nothing's perfect.
