Edgar Award-winning author
Newbery Honor winner
The reluctant odd couple from the highly acclaimed Skunk and Badger are back in this heartfelt, funny adventure from award-winning author, Amy Timberlake.
Buried in the heart of every animal is a secret treasure. Badger's is the Spider Eye Agate, stolen years ago by his crafty and treasure-trade-dealing cousin, Fisher. Skunk's is Sundays with the New Yak Times Book Review.
When Mr G. Hedgehog threatens to take the Book Review as soon as it thumps on the doorstep, Skunk decides an adventure ('X Marks the Spot!') will solve both their problems. Badger agrees, and together they set off for his favourite campsite on Endless Lake. But all is not as it seems at Campsite #5. Harrumphs in the night. Unexpected friends.
Then Fisher appears, and Badger knows something is up.
Something involving secrets, betrayals, and lies. And a luminous, late-Jurassic prize.
'Amy Timberlake writes with whimsical humor reminiscent of A.A. Milne, Arnold Lobel and Kenneth Grahame ...'
Shelf Awareness
'Narrator Michael Boatman is a one-man band of banjo plucks, chicken bocks, and a panoply of other sound effects in this clever and silly sequel to SKUNK AND BADGER. Odd couple Skunk and Badger have settled into a routine as roommates in Aunt Lula's brownstone. When they embark on a rock-finding expedition to Endless Lake, they make an unexpected and amazing discovery in a nearby cave – and have a run-in with Badger's treasure-dealing cousin, Fisher. Boatman goes all in, delivering Skunk and Badger's back-and-forth banter and all of Timberlake's swoops and swirls of language and wordplay with panache and full-throated enthusiasm. Young listeners and adults alike will laugh out loud as this quirky, sweet story about friendship unfolds.'
