Books in Ark of the People Trilogy series

Inside an ancient oak, the gentle Willow People live in peace and harmony with nature. But Humans flood the valley. In a desperate bid to survive, the People set sail in an oak-bough ark. Somewhere beyond the floods is a new life for them, and a new home. They will need all their courage to find it. But they have also saved Deadeye of the Nightshade Clan and his host of vicious allies. Now it is more than courage they will need.

The Willow Clan live peacefully with their neighbors, The Guardian Clan, who tend the Great Golden Snake. But others from afar have heard of a snake made of gold. Bent on plunder, marauding warriors are heading towards the valley. Again the youngsters of the Willow Clan take up the challenge. This time, as they prepare to defend the valley, they turn to the wizard Berrybottom and his legendary magic spells.

Living in their new valley, the tiny Willow People face a strange challenge: the head of a giant snake trapped in an underground cavern, his body stretched across the world, his tail far off in unknown lands. Overwhelmed by his sadness, the call to find the snake’s tail rings loud in the People’s ears. But others do not share their sorrow and predict the end of the world if ever the tail meets the head. Once again, the dauntless youngsters must summon all their courage—and more.
