Arma letame. Gli animali di Strambosco
A squirrel suffering with vertigo, a short-sighted falcon, a claustrophobic mole and many other strange animals fight against those who threaten Strangewood. They will manage to overcome adversity by making their limitations a source of strength, often unintentionally, thanks to teamwork and the friendship that binds them. Someone has hidden traps in the Water Point clearing, at the Reeking Swamp and near Fizzy Lake. If there’s a shady poacher to scare off, the Strangewood crew is ready with weapons that are very… foul-smelling!
• Lots of laughs (all while learning a lot about nature).
• Diversity as a source of strength, thanks to teamwork and friendship.
• At the end of each story, either Dizzy the squirrel or Ray the owl describes the real characteristics of the animals outside Strangewood.
• Shortlisted for The Strega Children\’s Prize 2022
