About the Book
Iora overhears sinister whispering coming from her well and is attacked by a strange creature. She knows her father is in mortal danger, but no one will listen. She sneaks out to search the enchanted Wacky Wilderness for him, but Beetle isn’t about to let her go alone. Among the jungle denizens, they encounter wild animals, hidden tribes, secretive lands, and strange and magical creatures: some friendly and some not.
After finding one of the guiding angels of the jungle, the search for her father becomes a quest to save the jungle! They only have 17 days to find the other four forest Angels and the elusive Spirit of the Jungle! But the dark forces aren’t going to sit by and let that happen…
