In this sweet autumn story of two animal friends, Boo and Belle, a mix-up almost spoils their friendship. Belle is cleaning and baking treats for her annual Pumpkin Day tea. Boo thinks Belle didn’t invite him this year. He doesn’t know the invitation got lost in the mail. The book ends happily when Belle goes looking for Boo and they realize what happened. Plus, there’s twist, but I don’t want to give it away. Thankfulness is the theme of the Bible verses that begin and end the book. Thank you to Paraclete Press for the complimentary copy of this book.
