Deep within the Whispering Woods lies a path that few dare to tread and even fewer truly understand.

Barnaby Buttercup is an earnest field mouse with a heart much larger than his tiny frame. When he discovers a mysterious map preserved in a shimmering glob of ancient amber, he knows he’s found the legendary key to Pine Needle Pass. But the Pass is no ordinary shortcut; it is a living, breathing labyrinth of ancient magic, sensory wonders, and hidden dangers.

Accompanied by his quick-witted and agile best friend, Patrick the chipmunk, Barnaby sets out on a journey that will test every ounce of his courage. Together, they must navigate the suffocating "Shadows that Stick," survive the treacherous "Bridge of Brittle Bark," and outsmart the cunning Whiskerwick a resin-thieving weasel who seeks to silence the forest’s memories forever.

From the ethereal glow of the Silver Spruce to the dizzying heights of the Wind-Bending Branches, Barnaby and Patrick discover that the greatest perils aren't just the thorns under their paws, but the choices they make along the way.

Rich with vivid descriptions and heart-pounding adventure, The Perils of Pine Needle Pass is a timeless tale of friendship, the power of listening to the earth, and the bravery found in the smallest of souls. Step into the needles. Listen to the resin. Find the way home.
