Synopsis

Whoosh! Squirrel takes off at full speed through the autumn leaves. But slam on the brakes because this year The Golden Nut Hunt race is a team event. Squirrel reluctantly enlists her friends and is not impressed. Will Squirrel's competitive spirit take over, or will she learn how to be a team player? Bestselling author Katy Hudson proves that winning isn't everything in this energetic story about friendship, teamwork, and forgiveness—and that those are things to go nuts about!
