Book Two in the Moonbeam Award-winning Trebor Tales series.
2021 International Book Awards Finalist (Children's Fiction)
Peace reigns in the Land of Bori. Growth springs from the earth as the great tree pushes its power through its mighty roots. But there's a noise at the edge of the forest. It darts into the dark. A voice calls to the Trebors. Come and play with us. Come and play with us.
But when Ebert decides to follow what lurks in the forest, he has an unexpected encounter. The malpeds have returned. Pitter pat. Pitter pat. Their tiny legs run their rhythm. Pitter pat. Pitter pat. Look what we can do, they say. We are changed, they say. Can this be true?
Are they different from the evil, giant malped they defeated? As Ebert follows the mysteries of his new friends, Stella must decide if they can be trusted this time or if she will lose her brother forever.
