    About this audiobook

    A JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD GOLD STANDARD SELECTION!

    With the adventure of Avi’s Poppy series and the heart of A Wolf Called Wander, this charming and exciting middle grade adventure follows one mouse’s journey to save his baby brother from a sinister evil.

    There are rules every mouse must follow if they’re to survive in the forest.

    Tobin knows these guidelines by heart. After all, with one younger sibling, another on the way, and a best friend with a penchant for trouble-making, he needs to be prepared for anything.

    But one stormy night, Tobin’s safe burrow is invaded by monstrous arachnids, and his baby brother stolen away. To save him, Tobin will have to do something he’s never done before: break the rules.

    Drawing inspiration from the author’s work as a natural science documentarian, Journey Beyond the Burrow is as alive as the forest floor, where nature is unpredictable, occasionally frightening, and inspirational all the same.  

    Includes a black-and-white illustrated front piece.

      An animal adventure that demonstrates the author has a good grasp on real attributes and habits of woodland creatures but also has them with their own imagined cultures and languages. The narrator did an impressive range of voices.
