These twelve stories follow kids who stumble into strange and surprising connections with clever creatures—from a chameleon that reveals secrets to a crab with a map to sunken treasure.

Packed with courage, curiosity, and just the right amount of chaos, this collection is perfect for animal-loving readers ages 9 to 12 who are ready to explore the unexpected side of nature.
