Synopsis

A breathless, high-stakes quest to save the miniature world of the Tree—and reunite loved ones lost—unfolds with wit, suspense, and startling revelations. (Ages 9 and up)Toby's world is under greater threat than ever before. A giant crater has been dug right into the center of the Tree, moss and lichen have invaded the branches, and one tyrant controls it all. Leo Blue, once Toby's best friend, is holding Toby's beloved Elisha prisoner, hunting the Grass People with merciless force, and inflicting a life of poverty and fear on the Tree People. But after several years among the Grass People, Toby has returned to fight back. And this time he's not alone: a resistance is forming. In the much-anticipated sequel to the award-winning TOBY ALONE, the compelling eco-adventure reaches its gripping conclusion.

Okay…yeah. That was a good book. The only way you can’t see that is if you were stiff and refused to submerge yourself into this world. There could be varying reasons for this stiffness, a back injury, a rigid upbringing…muscle solidification. Regardless, you should eagerly seek out the antidote so......more
