In the follow-up to the acclaimed and bestselling best book of the year by Newbery Honoree Amy Timberlake with pictures from Caldecott medalist Jon Klassen, Skunk and Badger head out on a rock-finding expedition with surprises hiding behind every boulder.
Buried in the heart of every animal is a secret treasure. For rock scientist Badger, it’s the Spider Eye Agate he found as a cub, stolen years ago by his crafty cousin, Fisher. For Badger’s roommate, Skunk, the treasure is Sundays with the New Yak Times Book Review. When an old acquaintance, Mr. G. Hedgehog, announces his plan to come for the Book Review as soon as it thumps on the doorstep, Skunk decides an adventure will solve Badger’s problems as well as his own. Surprisingly, Badger agrees. Together they set off on an agate-finding expedition at Badger’s favorite spot on Endless Lake.
But all is not as it seems at Campsite #5. Fisher appears unexpectedly. Then a chicken arrives who seems intent on staying. Something is up! Secrets, betrayals, lies. . . and a luminous, late-Jurassic prize.
Newbery Honor author Amy Timberlake spins the second tale in this series about two opposites who became friends, alongside the lush art of New York Times bestselling author-illustrator and Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen.
