With the adventure of Avi´s Poppy series and the heart of A Wolf Called Wander, this charming and exciting middle grade adventure follows one mouse´s journey to save his baby brother from a sinister evil. There are rules every mouse must follow if they´re to survive in the forest. Tobin knows these guidelines by heart. After all, with one younger sibling, another on the way, and a best friend with a penchant for trouble-making, he needs to be prepared for anything. But one stormy night, Tobin´s safe burrow is invaded by monstrous arachnids, and his baby brother stolen away. To save him, Tobin will have to do something he´s never done before: break the rules. Drawing inspiration from the author´s work as a natural science documentarian, Journey Beyond the Burrow is as alive as the forest floor, where nature is unpredictable, occasionally frightening, and inspirational all the same. Includes a black-and-white illustrated front piece.
