The Secret of Whylder Wood

More about the book

Park Woods and Whylder Wood have long been safe havens for the creatures living there. But peace has bred complacency, and now a dark threat festers deep in the woodland, spreading a poison that infects both bodies and minds--starting with a colony of rats. When Cory, a well-loved hedgehog, discovers the poisoned stream and the bodies of affected animals, he feels compelled to act. Despite his doubts, Cory rallies a reluctant group of apathetic, meek, and traumatised creatures to confront this growing menace. Against overwhelming odds, can Cory's unlikely army march to defend their home?
