A 2021 Charlotte Huck Recommended Book
Lola Budge isn't your average bare-nosed wombat. While her parents and
neighbors in the Northern Forest want nothing more than peace and quiet,
Lola loves to talk. Bored by the quiet routine of wombat life, Lola
desperately wants something, anything, interesting to happen.
But when Lola follows the terrifying sound of unfamiliar screeching, she
discovers a predator who has been kept in exile for many generations.
And this creature has captured the peaceful wombats and carted them
away--including Lola's parents.
To save her family, Lola will need help from the Queen of Tassie Island
herself. But the road to the golden city of Dore is long and treacherous
for a young wombat, especially with predators on the loose. To save the
ones she loves, Lola will have to brave infested swamps, rushing rivers,
and soaring heights, while encountering all sorts of strange critters,
both friend and foe.
At times exciting, at times heart-warming, this is the story of a wombat
who is much braver than anyone imagined.
