5.0

Had to be the best books I have read so far this year. It's ba story and conversation fragments of four very unlikely friends. 
A boy who is going home 
A mole who likes cakes
A horse who is wise
A fox who is loyal

They are not perfect individually. They have their own weaknesses, fears, confusions and insecurities about life but together the conversations they have, the way of looking at things are perfect. Reminds me of one of the quotes in this book "The greatest illusion of life is that it should be perfect" 

Such a cute book, anyone can devour it in less than half an hour but it will make you think about a lot of things: to be kind to yourself, the importance of friends and loved ones or "when you haven't succeeded yet, eat cakes"
