It's hard for Kylie to leave her friends and risk the unknown forest path. But she has a dream she must follow. It is time for Kylie to say goodbye to her friends, even her very best friend, Willy Wagtail. She must leave the security of her eucalyptus tree to follow the forest path and a new dream. On her journey Kylie will meet some of the most unusual creatures of the Australian wilderness - among them the echidna, the tree kangaroo, and the tawny frogmouth. She will see the forest's treasures and learn its secrets. And she will be warned of a terrible danger threatening the forest world.
Author Patty Sheehan has once again created a world of magic and meaning. As children travel with Kylie through the enchanting Australian wilderness, they will learn about the importance of taking care of our natural world. And they will discover with Kylie that by nurturing their own dreams, they may make their greatest contributions to others.
This beautiful story about saving our environment is even more compelling with artist Itoko Maeno's breathtaking watercolor illustrations of the flora and fauna of Australia.
A SURPRISE and added bonus is the "Enrichment Information" which includes lots of facts such creatures as the Willy Wagtail, the Mammals of Australia, the Bowerbird, the Sugar Glider, the Tree Kangaroo, the Koala, the Kookaburra, the Tawny Frogmouth, the Wallaby, the Emu, the Ringtail Possum, the Platypus, the Flying Fox and the Echidna. This is fascinating detail that did not make it into the story itself, but is very rich in interesting description.
A second big plus is the "Letter to Parents and Educators" which includes many relevant questions and comments to facilitate conversation with young readers about the message of the story...protecting the earth and turning unique gifts into contributions.So even though on the surface this is just an engaging story for children, it is also truly helpful in a real way.

In “Murder In Dordogne,” Diplomat Robbie Cutler and Sylvie are newlyweds, on their honeymoon in the scenic Dordogne region of southwestern France. The scenery and good food were expected—the murders were not! They discover the Château de Rastignac, the French White House, and its secrets. It was in this historic château that the French owners tried to hide priceless Impressionist paintings by Van Gogh and Cezanne from the Nazis during World War Two. But the paintings disappeared, and have not been seen since that time.
The Cutler honeymoon is abruptly interrupted by the discovery of a murder victim, a young woman who served with the French Resistance, the fiancée of Robbie’s Uncle Seth Cutler, an intelligence operative during the war. Solving the mystery of her death—and the possible fate of the missing paintings—takes some sleuthing through Resistance history.
They explore the French Resistance, how it worked, how couriers and radio operators were supplied from London, and then, the groups on the ground were joined by Jedburgh teams from the American, British and French armed forces, as the resistance groups harrassed the Nazi forces, to prevent them from reaching the Normandy beachhead. Robbie solves the sinuous mystery, with the help of survivors from the period – on both sides. But there is a further surprise in store. The Cutlers discover that the dangers they sense are not all history, when a vicious killer tries to murder the newlyweds. There is a new motive for murder. And then it is a race against time, before the killer strikes once again.
