Snip and Bittersweet Book One in The Podkins' Adventure Series Tiny heroes. Giant adventures. A journey they'll never forget. Snip is a cautious young Podkin-tiny woodland creatures no bigger than sparrows-who dreams of becoming a hero. Bittersweet is a daring cowgirl-type with a wild streak and a knack for getting into trouble. When a fall off their migrating crane separates them from their villagers, the two opposites must rely on each other to survive. Stranded in the Wisconsin wilderness during a snowstorm, Snip and Bittersweet face a broken leg, a wild river, and an encounter with a "Longleg"-a human boy who threatens to reveal their secret existence to the world. With only their wits, courage, and a bit of squirrel jerky, the unlikely duo must escape, outsmart predators, and find their way back to Sky High Village. Full of heart, humor, and high-flying adventure, Snip and Bittersweet is a richly imagined story perfect for readers who love tales of small heroes and big adventures. Ideal for ages 8-12.
