Mad Max meets The Jungle Book with plenty of Fern Gully in middle-grade
novel ARROW about a 12-year-old boy with a limb difference who has lived
his whole life as the only human in a magical hidden rainforest. When
the magic starts to deplete, humans from the dry, arid outside world
discover the forest, and Arrow must decide between joining his own kind
or saving his home.
"Through the observations of an unusual
narrator--the Guardian Tree--readers will be immersed in
Arrow's magical rainforest home. Strong yet vulnerable,
curious yet wise, Arrow risks everything to protect all that
he knows and loves. Arrow is a compelling adventure
about resilience, hope, and learning to trust your own heart."
—Lynne Kelly, author of Song For a Whale
"Narrated by an
ancient tree who counts years as rings and feels the emotions of forest
creatures in her roots, Arrow is a richly-imagined
fable about the need to connect with people of divergent tribes…and thereby
heal a wounded planet. Clark blends
fantasy and science into a lush and timely tapestry that enlightens and enchants." —Susan Fletcher, award-winning author of Journey of the Pale Bear
