What would you do if you found yourself in another world? Nine-year-old Nora Clark must figure it out when she discovers a world of talking animals that look like plants in this visually rich story about the power of vulnerability, honesty, and friendship. In Terrafauna, a world of vibrantly petaled plantimals and stunning natural beauty, there is a darkness lurking in the deserts to the south. A ten-foot-tall serpent, Snaykerute, has declared war on the peaceful kingdom of Vyridia to the north where Nora and her dog, Hugo, end up after finding a mysterious key and a black, iron gate. If a giant snake weren't frightening enough, blood-thirsty spiders, shrieking bats, and spies roam the forests and meadows. And they're all looking for one thing: the Guardian. Foretold by ancient prophecy, the Guardian will protect Terrafauna when all hope is lost, and the signal will be the opening of the Guarding Gate. With all eyes on Nora, it seems the prophecy is coming true, at last and tide of the war will turn in Vyridia's favor. But when Hugo goes missing and Snaykerute's army attacks, Nora will set off on a rescue mission to find her friend with the help of some unforgettable characters - an elephant ear, a tiger lily, a dogwood, and a small, fire-breathing snapdragon. With danger around every bend in the trail, Nora will need all the help she can get if she's going to find Hugo. Fans of The Chronicles of Narnia, The Hobbit, and Anne of Green Gables will enjoy this fantasy adventure novel full of action, heart, and memorable characters.
