Behold, my lovely audience! I am the amazing Augustus. There is no one quite like me. Augustus the squirrel is so busy praising himself that he winds up in the belly of a lion! This quirky, voicy picture book by author Tammi Sauer is certain to have kids laughing as they realize well before Augustus that he is walking across a lion’s back. Kids love being smarter than the book, and this one takes the joke as far as possible – that is, literally inside a lion.
As an orphan on the lowest rung of society, twelve-year-old Rain is destined for a future of hard labour – until she meets a wild griffin and bonds with him. An old law says that bond entitles Rain to an education at the elite Griffin Riders Academy instead of a life in the mines. But Rain’s Rise threatens to topple Griffin Land’s fragile hierarchy, and those at the top are determined to see her fail. So they task Rain with proving herself: Armed with just her wit and accompanied by her best friend and an unlikely ally, Rain must scale the highest peak in Griffin Land and defeat the monster at its summit. Rain’s success could change the world. But with an impossible quest ahead, will she and her griffin even survive?
