The Walnut Warriors® (Quest for the Lost Gold )

By Lance L. Palmgren

Delightful and whimsical, The Walnut Warriors (Quest For The Lost Gold) takes young minds on a riveting adventure of good versus evil. Created by author and illustrator Lance L. Palmgren, this colorful work is the second in his Walnut Warriors Series. Taking the imagination to new heights, this fascinating selection allows readers to explore the essence of bravery and determination. A one-of-a-kind tale, this beautifully crafted children's literature will amuse the youth through the endearing and admirable qualities of the feisty and courageous Walnut Warriors, who would stop at nothing to fight against bullies and oppressors. In the first book of the Walnut Warriors, readers were introduced to a world unlike any other. They were shown how the walnut characters live, their society, their rankings, along with the rules and laws in their kingdom. Readers soon become champions of the fearsome but lovable Walnut Warriors that live in a secret place, deep within their Misty Forest. This time, in Book Two of the Trilogy within the 7-Book Series, readers will follow the Warriors on their first Secret Mission into a perilous battle with their long-time enemies. Several generations ago, the Bully Boulders (who eventually transformed themselves into the Naughty Nuggets) and their Stone King attacked the Walnut Warriors and carried away their gold. To regain the treasure that is rightfully theirs, the Warriors must locate and battle the thieves into submission. Readers will be thrilled to experience, firstly, the Warriors' successful search and then, the implementation of their carefully planned battle and capture strategies. Will good triumph over evil? Readers know, will you?

CHAPTER I

Do you remember when we last left the Walnut Warriors? They were seated around the Walnut Table inside the walnut tree. Their newly crowned King (King Nut the Fourth) had called the meeting to order and the Warriors had given him their full attention.

"We are about to embark upon the most important top secret mission we have ever experienced," King Nut, IV explained.

"All is written on this scroll that I am about to read. My Father, King Nut, III, gave it to me before he passed to The Heaven of Mixed Nuts. He received it from his Father, King Nut, II, who received it from his Father, the First King Nut. It has been kept hidden deep inside our tree in the Vault of Secret Missions all these
