Ivy and Lily: Friends beyond the Thicket

By Cherelle Vanhanegin

In a tiny little village beneath the roots of an ancient tree, a curious little mouse named Ivy, has always been told: never go past the thicket.

But when a trembling cry echoes from the thicket, Ivy can't ignore it. Deep among the shadows she finds Lily - a frightened, injured fawn separated from her herd and far too big for any mouse to help... or so everyone thinks.

With winter racing toward them and danger lurking in every rustle of leaves, Ivy rallies her grumpiest big brother, the gentlest rabbit, and the bravest skunk the forest has ever known. Together they must heal Lily's leg, cross the floors of the thicket with predators lurking, outsmart hungry hawk, and carry a deer on their tiny backs all the way home before the first snow falls.

A heartwarming chapter-book with many adventures about courage, kindness, and the truest kind of friendship - the kind that proves even the smallest heart can change someone's whole world.
