“The illustrations in this book are delightful and I especially love how Olive's hair is drawn! Olive and Hoot are fast friends, "but as you know, best friends don't always like the same thing," but they do trust each other completely. Even though Olive doesn't feel as brave as Hoot, she joins him first on a balloon adventure and then on a boat adventure before it becomes Olive's turn to be the brave one and lead the way home. The true friendship and comradery that exists between them is authentic and wonderful.”
