What if badgers decide to fight back against destructive humans, and a 12-year-old girl can hear them talk?
When young badger Nim and her family see their woodland home ripped apart, her father calls on the Folk of the Field and Forest to destroy the village and drive humans away forever. Nim's instincts tell her this will bring disaster to them all.
She seeks help from the Truth-Sayer Hare, but Lloer's advice is full of riddles, and she tasks Nim with what seems an impossible mission.
One that brings her closer to their ancient human enemy than she could ever have imagined.
An animal eco-adventure story, suitable for anyone from age 9 upwards, who loves animals and the natural world.
Would appeal to fans of Watership Down, The Last Wild, Pax and The Wild Folk.
Includes 12 beautiful wildlife illustrations.
