The Rookery Isaac McPhee

Lucy Watson does not like being told what she can and cannot do, so when she meets a talking rook named Titus one fall afternoon, she can't help but follow. With this decision, Lucy finds herself in the new, exciting, and sometimes scary, world of the forest - a place she was never allowed to go by herself. Lucy follows Titus to The Rookery, a tree-fashioned castle in the heart of the forest, where she meets an unlikely family of rooks, and a slew of other forest creatures, including a musical mouse named Arthur. Unfortunately, what Lucy finds is not a forest full of joy and peace, but a forest facing a new and terible threat. Balancing her secret life in the forest with life at home with two unruly brothers, a no-nonsense nanny, and a gardener who seems to know too much, will take all of Lucy's cunning and all of her courage. Will she be able to find her place in the story of the rooks? Will she be able to help the forest animals escape the vicious hawks who threaten to tear their community apart, or will she be forced to stay at home while her friends suffer their fate alone?Discover with Lucy the power of love, adventure, and true friendship in The Rookery.
