The Great Lilac Forest

This fantasy-adventure book is C.L. Stilwill's first offering that tells the engaging story of the Green family. The children-Kat, Donnie, and Nate-don't know that their parents were born in the inner worlds, not in the outer world. They don't know that their parents have chosen their animal forms and that they can change into these animals in the inner worlds. A baby rabbit leads baby Nate into the inner worlds for their first, unplanned visit there. Their second visit begins their harrowing adventures as they assist in the rescue of the Princess. Immediately, the complexities of upcoming events unfold. With pirates who have ransomed the Princess, a treacherous swamp to cross on the way, form changers whose animal forms make their trip safer, magic in the trees and kelp forests and devices that Aunt Ninny creates, and two rescue teams needed, this story will have you on the edge of your seat. You'll be fascinated by unexpected twists and turns. Will they rescue the Princess? Will they make it home safely if they do? You'll have to read the book to find out.
