Kristine L.’s review of “The Badgers of Bunger Hill” by Martin Newbold offers a comprehensive and insightful perspective on the book. She highlights the story’s engaging narrative, which follows a family of badgers—Hunny, Boris, and their children Ton, Maleka, Makeba, and Thembi—as they embark on an adventure to uncover the mystery behind a strange machine threatening their home in Sussex. Kristine commends the book for its themes of conservation, family bonds, courage, and determination, drawing parallels to classics like “The Chronicles of Narnia” and “The Borrowers.” She also notes that while the target audience is children aged four to twelve, the advanced vocabulary makes it more suitable for the upper end of that spectrum. Overall, she describes it as a beautifully written story that resonates with readers who appreciate tales about family, faithfulness, and the ties that bind.

For those interested in an audio experience, the book is also available on Audible, narrated by Mary G.
