| Silver Squirrel knows he's different. He is drawn to Sandy Brown, a seemingly gentle, quirky young female, but he's not comfortable in the squirrel colony where she lives.
Silver likes the birds too. Is that normal for a prime and healthy young squirrel? Silver doubts it, but that doesn't stop him from befriending two crows. When old Jacob encourages Silver to take a mate and act like other squirrels, he resists. How could he ever fit in? How could he ever compete? It doesn't help that for some reason, he has drawn the relentless focus of the Hawk upon himself. But the ruthless raptor doesn't want him for a meal. Something far worse is brewing on the hilltop overlooking the squirrel hammock. Now, the time has come that Silver must take his place among the colony, or risk loosing his potential mate altogether. Unfortunately, what he has planned will lead them all to disaster! Silver squirrel is a celebration of nature. It is a thoughtful exploration of the heart of a common animal and a compelling fantasy adventure. It's the story of one small animal striving for hope in the face of constant danger and societal changes, and as a result transforming himself, his tribe, his friends the crows, and even his enemy, the Hawk. | ||
