Summary:
Beatrice
, a young girl of uncertain age, wakes up all alone in a forest tree-house. How did she arrive in this cozy dwelling, stocked carefully with bookshelves and oatmeal accoutrements? And who has been leaving a trail of clues, composed in delicate purple handwriting? So begins the adventure of a brave and resilient young Black girl and her search for identity and healing. Though
Beatrice
cannot recall how or why she arrived in the magical forest of Argilia -where every conceivable fish, bird, mammal and reptile coexist, and any creature with a beating heart can communicate with any other - something within her knows that beyond this forest she has a family who are waiting anxiously for her return. Just outside her treehouse door lives
Beatrice
's most unlikely ally, the enormous and mercurial King Crocodile called
Croc
Harry
, who just may have a secret of his own. But as they form an unusual truce and work towards their common goal,
Beatrice
and
Croc
Harry
will learn more about their forest home than they ever could have imagined. And what they learn about themselves may destroy
Beatrice
's chances of returning home forever.
