The Hoppernots - Paperback

by Deborah Blake Dempsey (Author)

The Hoppernots deliver an unforgettable adventure about friendship, strange alliances, and community. When frightened Elders announce a Hoppernot sighting, Max, Cristobel, and Spyder think they know exactly what to do. With a nose for adventure------and because the Elders are all talk and no hop-they sneak off to find out if the legendary creatures are real and discover Hoppernots not only exist, but they are destroying their home. The adventure begins when the mischievous trio issues a call to action to drive the dangerous creatures away from their beloved home. Along the way, they discover a secret weapon, an unlikely alliance, and they must find a way to make the Elders forget their troublemaking past and trust them enough to follow them into a battle of survival and fight for the lake they call home or risk losing it...and their lives. Author Deborah Blake Dempsey weaves a fantastical tale for readers still young enough to be enchanted by woodland dwellers and for older readers who secretly believe in the magic and madness of the forest.
