The Search for Delicious

So far, the book is entertaining, but I don't feel like I get enough depth with the characters. I know it's written for younger readers, but wouldn't it be easier for them to connect with the characters if there were more development there? Also, the setting is kind of vague. I'm having a tough time getting a mental image of the whole thing, which isn't usually a problem for me.

Judging from the prologue, I get the feeling that to an extent, this will be a commentary on the environmental state of our world... when the man came to the lake and took Ardis's whistle, the world began to see sadness and destruction. Is this intended to be a commentary on our world?
