Nature lovers and collectors of all kinds will love this high-adventure quest story about two brave and clever girls who head into the forest in search of something extraordinary!

This book pick comes from one of our fabulous volunteers, Rolanda Peacock.

Winslow and Rosie are best friends who love to find treasures and preserve them on their extraordinary adventures. When they decide they need just one more extra-special artifact for their collection they set off on a new journey where they hope to find it. However, after a surprise encounter with a wild animal they are somewhat disappointed albeit surprised to find their last treasure in a place they never expected to find it.

The Collectors is Alice Feagan’s first published book. I am sure we will see more great books by Alice in the future.
