Whispering Woods: The Hidden Door

Willow the duck, Shell the turtle, Brock and Aspen the beavers, and a family of raccoons show her a world of interconnected habitats — logs, brush piles, swamps, and ponds — that are mysteriously disappearing one by one.When Elara returns to the real world and discovers the truth about the "e;shadow"e; destroying the animals' homes, she must find the courage to speak up — and teach the adults in her life that messy is beautiful, and that every creature deserves a safe place to call home.Filled with real wildlife habitat lessons kids can actually do at home, 21 badge-earning chapters, and a secret message hidden in the pages, The Whispering Woods: The Hidden Door is an adventure that doesn't end when you close the book.
