Dust jacket notes: "In two earlier books, Carroll Lane Fenton has told the life stories of creatures that live in prairie regions of North America (Wee-jack and His Neighbors) and others whose homes are in ponds and small streams (Wild Folk at the Pond). Now he introduces us to the inhabitants of woodlands. He gives special attention to woodland birds, beasts, and insects that also live in cities and towns, and on farms. Dr. Fenton sometimes begins with the stories of particular creatures such as Mowitch, a handsome blacktail deer, and Fulva, the clever red fox. These stories lead into accounts of entire groups and species. Reading his book, we learn what woodland creatures look like, where they build their homes, and how they raise their families; what they do in winter, and how they behave in the spring. We also find that many of them play games of hide-and-seek, tag, jumping, and gliding, much as human beings do. Thirty-six different kinds, or species, are described in this book. Ranging from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific, and from the Gulf of Mexico northward into Canada, they include most of the woodland creatures children are likely to meet. Dr. Fenton is famous for his drawings of wild animals and plants, which appear in the magazine Children's Activities as well as in his books. Here are 55 of his most successful illustrations, which provide beauty as well as information that cannot be put into words."

It’s spring break, and 14-year-old Hannah Anderson is spending it with the “Coast-Is-Clear” program, a group committed to cleaning Pacific Rim National Park Reserve’s beaches of debris that has drifted across the Pacific from the tragic Japanese tsunami of 2011. Soon after Hannah arrives, Jack, her raven sidekick, discovers something washed up in the surf: a luminous glass ball marked with a strange Japanese character. Immediately, unusual things start to happen, beginning with the arrival of “Kimiko,” a Japanese girl with a secret past. Kimiko, it turns out, is part spirit fox (kitsune) and is here to reclaim the source of her power — the glass star ball she lost in the tsunami. Even with her star ball, however, Kimiko’s magic is dangerous and unpredictable, and hiding her true identity proves a challenge. But Hannah knows the truth, and with the help of Jack and a mysterious wolf waiting in the forest’s shadows, she is determined to help Kimiko find her place in the world.
