Life in the jungle is never boring. From the moment he was born, Jasper's curiosity has consumed him. With his brother Willie, they've made new friends and learned more about the Amazon rainforest. The youngsters have grown close. Jasper's main job is to make sure his brother stays safe, but that's easier said than done: the jungle is full of dangers, and if they're not careful, things can quickly get out of hand. New challenges are always around the corner. Determined to make his mother proud, Jasper vows to protect himself and his friends. If they're to make it home in one piece, they'll need to trust one another, and those they come across. It never hurts to give someone a helping hand, either. As they discover Amazon's secrets, each new experience opens their minds to new possibilities, and new friends make their unexpected trips worthwhile. Though trouble tends to follow them, Jasper and his friends do their best to overcome the adversities and come up on top.

An action-packed and hilarious animal fantasy adventure from New York Times bestselling author and National Book Award finalist Eliot Schrefer, “this new series stunner” (Kirkus starred review) will thrill fans of Warriors and Spirit Animals. Caldera has forever been divided into the animals who walk by night and those who walk by day. Nightwalker panthers, like young Mez and her sister, have always feared daywalkers as creatures of myth and legend. Then Mez discovers that she can enter the daylight world, and she rushes to discover what it means to cross the Veil—and the extent of her newly uncovered magical powers—before a reawakened evil threatens everything she’s ever known. Now, with an unlikely group of animal friends—including a courageous bat, a scholarly tree frog, and an anxious monkey—Mez must unravel an ancient mystery and face her greatest fears, if they are to have any hope of saving their endangered rainforest home.
