"Beatrice, a young girl of uncertain age, wakes up all alone in a tree house in the forest ... Though Beatrice cannot recall how or why she arrived in the magical forest of Argilia -- where every conceivable fish, bird, mammal and reptile coexist, and any creature with a beating heart can communicate with any other -- something within tells her that beyond this forest is a family that is waiting anxiously for her return. Just outside her tree-house door lives Beatrice's most unlikely ally, the enormous and mercurial King Crocodile Croc Harry, who just may have a secret of his own. As they form an unusual truce and work toward their common goal, Beatrice and Croc Harry will learn more about their forest home than they ever could have imagined. And what they learn about themselves may destroy Beatrice's chances of returning home forever"--Provided by publisher.
