A raccoon has moved to a new home and he is very sad as everything is new to him. He also misses his old friends but then later he finds some really friendly new friends and is very happy. I liked all his friends because they always played with him. Yes I would recommend this book to everyone.

A raccoon moved to a new home and he was sad as everything felt new. Then he found adventure and made new friends, when he was least expecting it. I liked the raccoon's friends because they made him happy by being friendly with him. Yes I would recommend it to all my friends.

The racoon was scared when he moved house. But he got used to it, so it was OK.
