The Gathering

Queenie the squirrel and Buster the blue jay return in a thrilling adventure set one year after their discovery of the Enchanted Forest and its wish-granting acorn. Faced with a catastrophic event that threatens their home and loved ones, they pin their hopes on a mysterious blue acorn. When Buster makes a wish, a riddle appears that guides them on a challenge requiring teamwork, trust, and faith. Alongside their families and new friends, they race against time to save their forest. The author, Margaret Piscitelli, shares her lifelong love for animals and her personal experiences with wildlife rescue, dedicating a portion of the book's proceeds to animal organizations in honor of her rescue dog, Buddy.
