Taigh~ A Flying Squirrel’s Adventure

Taigh Squirrel loves adventure stories. But painting, reading, and watching moving pictures through the windows of person houses are the closest he thinks he’ll ever get to going on a real adventure himself. Even though his neighbor-friend Felicity Sparrow has gone on lots.

After all, he’s just a flying— well, gliding squirrel. Whose biggest challenge has been teaching new friends how to pronounce his name. (“It’s like tiger… without the –errr.”)

But when a fairy comes to Taigh’s tree looking for Felicity, everything changes. Felicity is out of town. And right now, Taigh is the only one who can help!

What do raccoons and rabbit holes have in common with Harriet Tubman?
Jax, Julie, and Ani wouldn’t have thought much at all, until the three kids go exploring near an old house in the woods that local legends say is haunted. The kids don’t believe in ghosts, and don’t expect to find anything scary. But when they meet a raccoon that’s acting a little weird, they start to suspect that something strange is about to happen. Especially when a rabbit hole opens up in the roots of a tree big enough for the kids to climb down inside…

Felicity and the Scary Bear

Felicity has had many adventures with her sparrow pal Cairn, so nothing should be able to scare her any more, right?

Well, maybe there still are a few things that can scare her, especially if it’s Halloween, and there’s something in the woods that Felicity and Cairn aren’t expecting to see.

But there might be something, or someone, in the town that’s even more scary than anything the two sparrows could find in the woods!

Even if it’s a visit from an old enemy!

But when she sees something that looks suspiciously like…smoke in the mountains near her home, Felicity realizes that she’ll need to use all her smarts and courage to help her friends.
Especially when a group of fire fighters, or as the animals in the Wildwood say, fire stoppers, needs her help!

“Felicity’s bird’s-eye view of the world is fun, charming, and traverses the magic of human and nature alike, while the evolution of her courage and her longing for adventure is very well done.” –D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Reviews

Tales of adventure and danger have thrilled Felicity since Augustus taught her to read as a little nestling.  She adores the tales of heroes and heroines who forge ahead in spite of all odds, and who always seem to succeed no matter what.  More than anything, Felicity wants to be brave and selfless just like them. But adventures are in short supply, especially for someone who’s just an ordinary sparrow. Until the day an unexpected stranger shows up at her tree with an unusual request…

“…a charming adventure story with a resourceful heroine.” —Kirkus Reviews

But Felicity didn’t count on one group of strangers showing up that cause more trouble than she ever imagined they could! A strange, troublesome bunch that the fairies call… people.

“Dreams, imagination, and different worlds intersect in a positive and simple story that kids will find whimsical and delightfully fun.” -D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Reviews
