An exciting picture book, featuring brand new characters from highly-regarded,
best-selling, multi-award-winning talent, Oliver Jeffers. When life in the
forest begins to change; when trees mysteriously lose their branches, when
whole tree trunks start to disappear, when homes are lost, the only course of
action for the forest dwellers is to begin a full scale investigation. Alibis
must be proved, clues must be sought but even so, blame is never far from
anyone's thoughts. Who is the perpetrator of this heinous crime? Will justice
be done?
