The Stage Is Set




"What's up, dude? Name's Hector," said the offbeat rabbit, his long ears stuffed in a bulging cap.




"I am Tobias Oakwood Ball," replied the young hedgehog, puffing out his spines.




Newfound friends and future companions, T. Ball and Hector are destined to join the humans, four and two-legged ones, winged ones and the fairy folk who must unite in a titanic struggle of good vs. evil. A malevolent entity has come to the woodlander village of Two Trees, dispatched from the realms of the Worldspinners with a mission to bring darkness to all the worlds.




It is a plan that has been centuries in the making, nothing by accident and unknowing participants in the plot had been carefully chosen. Many times through history they have tried and failed. This time they will enter through the back door by corrupting nature.




There will be a bully called Spike, an overworked wizard named The Great Toothsayer, and an annual hedgehog race that sets everything in motion. Also, there are mobster squirrel gangs called Hoarders and a tyrannical mob boss named Clough Briarthack. Then there's the Professor, a lost book, hard-working moles and others-but that's to come in the next book. The story begins now . . .




Who tricked The Great Tooth?

Why must T. Ball find his own special gift?
