Brambleheart

A young apprentice in a guild of master craftsanimals discovers a lost world beneath his junkyard home in this illustrated tween animal fantasy series that recalls Redwall and Poppy. Twig has always wondered who he will become. In the Hill, everyone studies a craft and becomes a master's apprentice, but first you have to be good at something. Twig tries very hard in all of his classes, but his imagination wanders to his favorite books or the delicious may apples growing beyond the scavenge yard...and then he loses his focus. Unsure he'll ever amount to anything, Twig sets out on a journey to discover himself. However, instead of finding answers, he stumbles upon a strangely-colored globe that contains a curious secret. Protecting his secret is all that Twig wants to do. But when Twig learns his secret might hurt others, he's forced to make a choice between his place in the world and the feelings in his heart. A choice that if he should be called anything, it should be friend. Brambleheart is beloved illustrator and author Henry Cole's beautiful story about nature, imagination, and how love is the greatest thing we build.
