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!

“Evans uses word paintings to tell Taigh’s story, capturing a world embedded with fairies, quests, art, and insights… From Spanish-speaking bats to questions that Taigh resolves in the course of his experiences, middle graders will find the blend of action, mystery, and natural history compellingly fun.”~D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

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…

“What a delightful story! A very fun and informative trip through time, sure to please both young and old. I thoroughly enjoyed it.” -Jewel Adams, Author

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!

“Evans has done it yet again! Friendship, perseverance, suspense, Halloween, and humor—this book is entertainment for all ages. I especially enjoyed the surprise ending!” —Mikey Brooks, author of The W.H.O. Files and The Dream Keeper Chronicles.

Felicity and the Fire Stoppers

Felicity is no stranger to adventure, and not much surprises the little sparrow any more.
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

Felicity – A Sparrow’s Tale

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

The ebook of Felicity~ A Sparrow’s Tale is FREE on Amazon in the US!

Felicity and the Featherless Two-Foot

Felicity hasn’t had an adventure in months, and the little sparrow thinks that dangerous quests are behind her for good. Which is just fine with her! She would rather hang out with her friends the fairies, and read her books safe at home than go on scary adventures! 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
