| | Synopsis
|
"Beatrice, a young girl of uncertain age, wakes up all alone in a
forest tree-house. How did she arrive in this cozy dwelling, stocked
carefully with bookshelves and oatmeal accoutrements? And who has been
leaving a trail of clues, composed in delicate purple handwriting? So
begins the adventure of a brave and resilient young Black girl and her
search for identity and healing in bestselling author Lawrence Hill's
middle-grade debut. Though Beatrice cannot recall how or why she
arrived in the magical forest of Argilia—where every conceivable
fish, bird, mammal and reptile coexist, and any creature with a
beating heart can communicate with any other—something within her
knows that beyond this forest she has a family who are waiting
anxiously for her return. Just outside her treehouse door lives
Beatrice's most unlikely ally, the enormous and mercurial King
Crocodile Croc Harry, who just may have a secret of his own. But as
they form an unusual truce and work towards their common goal,
Beatrice and Croc Harry will learn more about their forest home than
they ever could have imagined. And what they learn about themselves
may destroy Beatrice's chances of returning home
forever."—Publisher's website.
