About the book:
Titch and Huckleberry have journeyed a long way from their cosy home on the Plateau - and all they want to do is go home, eat some tasty plums and play in the cooling stream. But Titch is a hero now, whether she likes it or not, and heroes do not give up, not when Alluria needs heroes more than ever before!
Titch knows that there are many ways to be brave, and she has friendship, brave and true, on her side - but will that be enough to stand against the forces of darkness, when all of Alluria is cracking open?
Now, at the final hour, will the prophecy be fulfilled? Can Bravepaw unite the Gems of Harmony and save the world?

From Nepalese-Australian writer Saurav Kiran Shrestha and Estee Sarsfield's whimsical illustrations of Australian suburbia this is the story of how one small act of caring can bring us together, no matter where we're from, and how neighbours can become a community.
