Larkspur

Where’s a mouse to go when his burrow decides he’s something straight out of a nightmare?

After a triumphant battle with a deadly snake reveals his true nature as a Howler—a fearsome grasshopper mouse—Jory is forced to leave the gentle deer mice who raised him. Alone but for his questions (Why was he left to be raised by deer mice? Who is he really?), Jory ventures into the desert seeking Saguaro, the only other grasshopper mouse he knows, one who just might have the answers.

Jory’s journey of discovery will teach him things and take him places both dangerous and thrilling. But will he find the thing he desires most—a place in the desert he can truly call home?
