This is what young Riley Raccoon learns from his best friend, Charlotte- that everything beautiful and perfect in the world is in danger from the common creature. The common creature- who isn't capable of perceiving such magnificence, nor has the profound respect for it if they can. These creatures exist everywhere and are a threat to everything sacred, for their indifference to greatness makes them enemies of the pure.

Review by: Kyrana Jones on March 24, 2013 :
The Adventures of Riley Raccoon by William Trelawny is a book for young readers with a good vocabulary. The story describes the relationship between a bully and a future friend in new surroundings. It also shows several potential consequences and dangers of making wrong choices in order to please others. This book is a useful tool for parents in that it allows for a discussion about safe limits in relationships. It is also a good choice for elementary and middle school readers in a supervised classroom setting where bullying can be discussed in a non-confrontational manner.
