(Beardie Books, Jan. 14, 2019)
A PERILOUS ADVENTURE OF THE WORLD'S DARKEST LEGENDS, FROM NATIVE AMERICAN TO EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY. For house rodents Sully and Koda, sharing a room with an ill-tempered bearded dragon is as dangerous as it gets. That is, until on a night of disaster they leave their burrows for the first time and enter the forest where deep within hide the wooden heads of monsters. Gruesome, weathered by floods, the totem poles guard a precious secret: a world without humans beneath the forest floor. The world is eerily familiar to home aside from a starry sky made of faces, Tricksters that glow seafoam green, and a new creature, the Smoking Beast, who soon could be the death of everything Sully and Koda care for. To return to Giant's nest, the brothers must rescue the Haven in a race against Critter-eating totems.
