How far would you go for a friend? In Nuts to You, the funny and
moving illustrated novel by Newbery Medalist Lynne Rae Perkins, two
squirrels go very far indeed to save a friend who has been snatched up
by a hawk. Nuts to You "begs to be read aloud . . . another completely
original and exceptional package from Perkins," said the Horn Book.
Nuts to You features black-and-white art by the author on every page,
as well as exclusive material original to this edition.
Jed, TsTs, and Chai are the very best of friends. So when Jed is
snatched up by a hawk and carried away to another realm, TsTs and Chai
resolve to go after him. Mysteriously, the hawk has dropped him. They
saw it. Jed could be alive. New communities are discovered, new friends
are made, huge danger is encountered (both man-made and of the fox and
bobcat variety) and the mysteries of squirrel culture are revealed.
Nuts to You is wholly original, funny, lively, and thought-provoking.
Publishers Weekly said, "Readers . . . will relish the squirrels'
adventures, as well as Perkins's laugh-aloud illustrations and equally
witty footnotes."
Includes an introduction, epilogue, and footnotes throughout, as well as
original exclusive material from the author.
