Overview
Shannon Simpson has a kind soul, sometimes questionable judgment, and courage to spare. And she has no idea she can communicate with animals when she sets off on a 100-mile trek through the forest seeking her long-lost grandmother. Finding Gran means winding her way safely through the woods with only a compass, her wits and a mysterious, possibly magical, marra mamba stone to guide her. During her journey, Shannon faces bad weather, injuries, hunger, thirst, and wild animals-some nice and some not so nice. And along the way, she uncovers secrets about her family and herself.

This story is intended for middle-grade or early YA readers and contains low magic of an amulet and the ability to talk with animals."" -- GG ""This is such a great book. I love the creative story. I read this book in 4 days. Shannon's personality I have to admit is a lot like mine."" - Noah ""What a great book! It's well written, and the storyline had me staying up late. Her descriptions of animal communication were very much like what I've experienced. I've already recommended it to my nieces and my friend's granddaughters. Adults will like this book too."" - Wicked Good Witch of Metrowest ""The best chapter book I've ever read. I couldn't stop reading. It made me cry at some parts and made me rush because I was nervous. Again, best book ever!!!"" - CEMA ""I loved the way Shannon and the beautiful wolf, Jenniva, were able to communicate. Kromak, a lonely wolf who killed Shannon's sibling, was able to change and trust humans. Kromak saved Shannon's life when he had hated all humans as they had mistreated him so badly."" - Heidi Lorin
