How did she arrive in this cozy dwelling, stocked carefully with bookshelves and oatmeal accoutrements? And who has been leaving a trail of clues, composed in delicate purple handwriting? So begins the adventure of a brave and resilient young Black girl and her search for identity and healing in bestselling author Lawrence Hill's middle-grade debut. Though Beatrice cannot recall how or why she arrived in the magical forest of Argilia--where every conceivable fish, bird, mammal and reptile coexist, and any creature with a beating heart can communicate with any other--something within her knows that beyond this forest she has a family who are waiting anxiously for her return. Just outside her treehouse door lives Beatrice's most unlikely ally, the enormous and mercurial King Crocodile Croc Harry, who just may have a secret of his own. But as they form an unusual truce and work towards their common goal, Beatrice and Croc Harry will learn more about their forest home than they ever could have imagined. And what they learn about themselves may destroy Beatrice's chances of returning home forever."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Tree houses $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Girls $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Children, Black $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Crocodiles $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) $v Juvenile fiction. 650 6 $a Maisonnettes dans les arbres $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376960 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376960 650 6 $a Filles $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376960 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376960 650 6 $a Enfants noirs $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376960 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376960 650 6 $a Crocodiles $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376960 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. pour la jeunesse. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0376960 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240604014538.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=953444DA223B11EF96E545AA58ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
