    About this ebook

    Ethel Peacock wants to start a school for all animals at the nature preserve to promote cooperation and friendship among all species. To do so, she must approach Densworth Lion, who is outraged at such an idea. Ethel loses heart until her friend, Luce Pigeon, tells her about a tiger, hyena, orangutan, and polar bear who live together in the tunnels under the city after escaping from the zoo and about the badger who helps them. Ethel and Luce set out on a trek to save the animals from their underground prison. Chaos abounds on the night of the escape. What happens next motivates Ethel even more to open the school. Her plan gets a big boost when the owls, keepers of the sacred knowledge of the forest, give Ethel their blessing. But the owls are hiding something about the nature preserve that could have grave consequences.

    J. Schlenker

    J. Schlenker, a late blooming author, lives with her husband out in the splendid center of nowhere in the foothills of Appalachia where the only thing to disturb her writing is croaking frogs and the occasional sounds of hay being cut in the fields. Her first novel, Jessica Lost Her Wobble, published in December 2015, was selected as a finalist in the William Faulkner - William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition. One of her short stories, The Missing Butler, received honorable mention in the first round of the NYC Competition. The Color of Cold and Ice is her second novel. Upcoming Works are: The Innkeeper on the Edge of Paris and The Missing Butler and Other Life Mysteries (A Collection of Short Stories).
