The Land of the Pines is a thought-provoking fantasy tale of friendship and fortitude, sure to capture imaginations of all ages.
Grey the Kitten knows that she's meant to be more than just a barn cat. As she grows up on Black Mountain Farm with her mentor Miss Jay the Bird, she can't help but feel that her destiny lies somewhere beyond her beloved farm.
But Grey isn't the only one with ideas about her future. The Black Widow and her guiding Hourglass have big plans for the farm, and Grey could be their key to controlling the whole mountain--and all the animals who reside there. When the Widow traps Grey in a web of promises and threats, will this special kitten give up control over her destiny? Or will she become an example of what's possible when you have the courage to forge your own path?
Filled with unpredictable twists and turns, The Land of the Pines connects tweens to the transformative power of kindness and intention, all while reinforcing our universal connection to one another.
When Grey the Kitten is born at Black Mountain Farm (BMF), Miss Jay the Bird is promptly assigned as her guardian. Some animals find it strange that a bird would be assigned to oversee the success of a barn kitten. Some animals, but not Miss Jay. Miss Jay knows that this kitten is different. This kitten will change not just their lives, but the lives of many animals to come. After all, this kitten has a magical voice. She just doesn't know it yet. Grey does know she's meant to be more than a barn cat, but she isn't the only one with ideas about her future. The Black Widow and her Harrowing Hourglass have big plans for the farm, and Grey could be the key to stopping them from controlling the whole mountain--and all the animals who reside there. When the Widow traps Grey in a web of deceit, will this special kitten give up control over her destiny? Or will she find the courage to forge her own path?
