A Whisker Too Far($17.99Value)

Description

They were never supposed to leave the burrow. Jacob wants more than burrow life, hungry for the world beyond the roots. Jaden wants only one thing: to protect his little brother from the dangers he senses in every shadow. But curiosity wins. One bold step past the old oak and one very bad piece of cheese hurls them into a hidden world beneath New York City: roaring tunnels, shadowy rat gangs, a mole king who rules the dark, and a cat whose claws reach farther than fear. What begins as a small adventure quickly turns into a fight for survival. Hunted by predators. Lured by deadly traps. A single mistake changes everything. When Jaden is poisoned, time begins to slip away, and Jacob is forced to carry the weight of a choice he cannot undo. To survive, Jacob must trust a smooth-talking Jamaican raccoon named Solomon, sharpened by survival, and Luna, a sharp-eyed Dominican crow whose watchful, motherly heart refuses to leave them behind. Guided by these unlikely allies, Jacob is pulled into a journey far beyond anything he imagined. Somewhere in this hidden world there is a healer named Fela, an ancient and mysterious African healer, a force of wisdom and power, a master of roots, spirits, and life itself, the only one who might pull Jaden back from the edge. Far behind them, beneath the roots of home, their parents wait in the dark, unaware their world has been set on a collision course with fate itself. Two brothers. One mission. Survive the odds before time runs out.
