I enjoyed this story with all the characters within. The main characters were Ted an Nancy.

Ted an Nancy has left the big city to live in Grimwood. They are both hope that it's a safe place to live at because they have not adventure as far. There are other animals that live there. Soon all become friends. While in Grimwood they find an unknown place close by. This new place has things that are different to them. While there they meet other animals. But they soon find out that they are not as friendly.

This was a fun story to read. It had action, adventure and suspense throughout. There were laughs and giggles within. The illustrations went well with the story.

I received a complimentary copy via Netgalley. This is my honest unbiased opinions.

What a great book! The illustrations are perfect for the story and it’s a great story to get into. I would recommend for children on the older side because of the length of the book.

I loved reading Grimwood and I can't wait to introduce my children to this series, I already put the first book on hold at the library for us. The delightful cast of characters are funny, unique, and the whole story is just charming. This is the perfect kind of easy chapter book to help our transition from only graphic novels. I was cracking up and I know my kids will be too! The simple illustrations add to the story and humor. Ted's song about hoppin' through the forest has been introduced as a new hiking song for our family already.... they'll love it even more when I read them the book. We can't wait to travel back to Grimwood again some day.

Omg, this book! This book is wild! It’s intense and it's hilarious, and it's entertaining and it's weird, and it's crazy, and it's so many things!
The drawings are quirky – truly quirky. The story is weird in a super good way.
This is an absolute winner in the Grimwood series! Also, it is tween-approved. The said tween said it's not a book for little kiddos.

From treebonking to picknicking in the woods, this book goes from funny to heartfelt and back again.

Grimwood is a magical and very hectic place to live. Sure thing, there’s never a dull day in Grimwood, not unless you want to live your entire life under a rock. But, for those ready to live life to the max, there is tree boking, Wildhorns Power Juice making, bumpy cars riding, theater group playing, and quite some dancing… Even better, you can participate in all those activities alongside foxes, squirrels, moose, bugs, ducks and bunnies ( I think I just left about half of the animals living in Grimwood out but don’t worry, you’ll get to know all of them when reading this truly entertaining book).

Ted is one of the inhabitant of Grimwood. He’s an orphan fox. He and his sister were abandoned by their parents in a den in a park in Big City. Ted, while happy living in Grimwood, still sends letters to their old den, wanting to find his parents.

The thing is, no place is perfect and Grimwood also has its dark secrets (duh! Did you see the name of the pace?). It all comes into play, when a mysterious stranger grabs Ted by the tail.
Is the stranger a fox? Ted says, yes! but the rest of the animals in Grimwood aren’t so sure. They warn Ted about going out looking for trouble, or as Ted puts it, looking for mom and dad, but Ted won’t give up that easily.

I was happily surprised by this book. Intended for readers 7 to 9, it’s beautifully illustrated and really easy and fun to read. I particularly liked the many little notes and signs peppered along the pages that help the reader understand everything they need to know to fully immerse themselves in the story.

All in all, an excellent middle grade adventure book.

I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Another master piece by Nadia Shireen. The original Gimwood had my daughter laughing until her body was shaking, this book continues to enchant with its magical world and loveable characters. Its a must read for anyone who enjoys a delightful adventure that's funny and heartwarming. We can all learn from Ted and Nancy about cherishing places and people we hold close, and standing up for what you believe in.
