Who's in the Forest

By H F Hennelly

A forest's secret. A boy's courage. A fight for the future.

He was a troublemaker. He wasn't supposed to be a hero.

Emmet Tierney has always played the fool. That's why he's been sent to Hillside Alternative Junior High-or so he thinks.

But this school, tucked against a pristine forest, is anything but ordinary. When Emmet meets a strange old man with secrets of his own, he realizes his life isn't a joke anymore.

Hidden in the forest are beings unlike any he's imagined-ancient, mysterious, and clinging to survival. Emmet shares a bond with them-one they will soon reveal. When plans emerge to bulldoze the land for a sprawling warehouse, Emmet is the only one who knows what's truly at stake.

Determined to save their forest-and the lives that depend on it-Emmet rallies his friends. Together, these kids spark something bigger than themselves-showing their community, and all of us, what it really takes to protect our planet.

A middle grade mystery about hidden worlds, friendship, and standing up for our planet.
