Mosstar and Belladonna — Alan W. Harris

Book four in the Tales of Larkin saga is a story from the Larkin's history. The Larkin are a one-inch-tall race of woodland people who must daily face the dangers of spiders, lizards, toads, predator insects as well as savage attacks by their mortal enemies, the Renegades. As we did in book two, Larkin's Journal, we will once again join Elder Micah's history class as he tells his students the exciting narrative of Princess Belladonna's journal. To keep his students on the edge of their seats, Micah weaves Belladonna's story with that of Mosstar, son of Cragmore, the great tree laird from the fifth Larkin clan. Not only must both of them survive frequent life-threatening dangers from the natural world around them, but they must also face the Maker's truth about their own lives. But unknown to both of them is a diabolical plot to destroy them both and forever change the future of the Larkin People. As you have come to expect with all of Harris' stories, there is more than enough exciting adventures as well as fun and engaging characters in this book to keep even the most reluctant reader eagerly turning pages.
