The Trebors Caroline C Barney

2020 Silver Moonbeam Award Winner for Pre-Teen Fiction

Beware the Trebor who ventures far, for the smalls of darkness gather there.

Bori is ravaged, the earth scorched, homes destroyed. Stella longs for the days of peace, where Trebors danced and sang, where her tree home held all she needed. Now devastation surrounds her and worse yet, her father is missing. He didn't make it home before the storm ripped through the land. The devastated forest calls Stella to journey into it, to look for her father, and face down whatever hides in its deep crevices. But a shifting shape of evil lurks nearby and threatens to destroy everything she knows and loves.


Will appeal to fans of the Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan, Wings of Fire by Tui T. Sutherland, Spirit Animals Series, and Warrior Cat Series by Erin Hunter.
