Mole stretches in the morning sun as familiar sounds drift from the riverbank. His dear friend Rat is already puttering about in his boat, while somewhere upstream Toad is no doubt scheming his next wild escapade. The four companions find themselves swept into another whirlwind adventure that tests their friendship and courage. Badger's wisdom guides them through scrapes both comic and perilous as they navigate the challenges that arise in their beloved countryside home. Kelly brings back the warmth and wonder that made these characters treasured companions to generations of readers. She captures the spirit of camaraderie that binds Mole, Rat, Toad and Badger together through every mishap and triumph. Their latest journey celebrates the enduring power of friendship and the magic that lives along the willow-lined waters they call home.
