There are so many good things to say about this book, and one is how fascinating the story is. It is rare to write mystery books for a child these days, and the drawings were amazing. My kids loved it!
Moreover, they learned the meaning of it fast. They did not like the fox and thought that he deserved to be in jail because of stealing from the goose.
They were also curious to know who the culprit was, and they wanted me to finish the story as soon as I could. This was such a good book that would make a great cartoon.
I believe this is a wonderful read for children ages 5-7 because it is easy to remember and learn. Children will associate the animals with the correct character traits because of the attractive illustrations and personification of the characters. So, for example, the fox was clever and unpleasant, the goose was a nurturing mother, the smelly skunk distracting the bat because of his smell and then a dog as the police. Each character trait infused to these animals depicts their true nature and it becomes easier to remember them by.

The Trophy Hunted Redemption is the perfect follow up to the debut. Rafferty has delved deeper into the core and pulled out a richer, more detailed, beating heart.
Be prepared to be immersed in this book. Schedule yourself a weekend to sit down and read, no distractions, and then you won't need to cancel plans when you realize you can't put this book down. I was awake at 1 am finishing off this book, roasting under the duvet where I was huddled with my Kindle, so the light didn't wake my daughter, who was snoring her head off beside me with no idea of the crisis I was having.
I'm wary about getting too into the plot for fear of getting carried away and unleashing some spoilers, so I'll settle for saying wow. What a book.
It is as good, if not better than the first book, and that one was in a class of its own, so if you enjoyed The Trophy Hunted, The Trophy Hunted Redemption sweeps you away. Honestly! It's that good!

A bold follow-up to The Trophy Hunted. While its first half is more deliberately paced and focused on world-building than its predecessor, the finale is intense and ferocious.
The Trophy Hunted Redemption develops the lore of the Jack Mason series, keeping the rich characterization of the previous book and the delicate balance of darkness and warmth that is quickly becoming a hallmark of the author.
Like an early Grisham and Poe, there is no one better when the intensity ramps up. As the narrative reaches its crescendo, The Trophy Hunted Redemption becomes increasingly heart-pounding, thrilling, and devastating.
Overall, I recommend this book! I'm not only looking forward to seeing where this series goes, but I'm also looking forward to seeing what else Paul Rafferty writes, his writing style and imagination are wonderful.

I love the meaning of the story. I loved the characters because their traits as animals are depicted correctly from the story. The bat flies around the community and helps figure things out with Mr. Hoskins. The goose is the concerned mother who lost her child- the egg. The fox is the bandit who took the egg from the goose. Lastly, the dog is the police who helped Mr. Hoskins put the fox in jail.
These characters are fitting for kids as early as four-years-old. To me, it is intelligent and to the point. A child will learn new words, and the content is inviting.
In summary, this is a good book because it has all the right elements to make it good learning material for children. Read this and be sure to teach them the message of this story.

Short, sweet, and relevant. This is a good book for kids ages seven-ten. I believe children around this age are attracted to what they see and will develop an interest to read this story. I consider this a great book to learn from, and I highly recommend it to parents, teachers, and even aunts and uncles. Give something great to a child by gifting them books that would make them think, learn, and analyze. Books are treasures, and this one is one of those. Check this out!
