Climate change, fraternal competition and loneliness: these are some of the crises the creatures in these tales have to face. They will need all the ingenuity and courage they can muster to overcome the odds, and they dearly hope you will accompany them…

Discover how Aslak, a polar bear living in the Artic, and Selma, a tiny mouse inhabiting a Greek island, both find a way to adapt to the threat posed by climate change, thereby ensuring the survival of their kind.

Azumal, a very independent green turtle, has an eye-opening encounter with a desolate shrimp on the seafloor which makes him realise the importance of companionship. He turns tail, hoping it’s not too late.

A young genet, Snuffles, helps the two young people who take care of him to solve the mystery of the golden talisman and foil the dark plans Squire Potts has in store for his daughter.

Gale and Bluster are two polecat brothers whose rivalry tears their community apart until fortunately Golius, a wise old owl, comes to the rescue and helps the community to heal.

These tales and more await you between the covers of this book.
