The Tunnel Through The Trees
The Hollow Oak Book 1
Available on Amazon
Dizzy Vasquez has always had a hard time fitting into everyone else’s definition of “normal.” New to the town of Oak Hollow, Dizzy can see her tomboy looks and fascination with fantasy causing her to once again be the target of jokes and bullying from her new classmates when school starts in the fall. When Dizzy and her new neighbor, Kyle, follow the town drunk into the woods one night, they find themselves shrunk to the size of mice. Befriended by a young fellow-misfit mouse, the friends must discover the fate of a missing girl, help a community of animals fight off a horde of attacking rats, and rescue Dizzy’s sister from the tyrannical Rat Witch. They also need to decide if the power that brought them there, the mystical Hollow Oak, is truly a chance for them to live one of the fantasy adventures they’ve always read about; or if it is just a cunning trap that has lured them to their doom!
The Tunnel Through the Trees is the first installment of The Hollow Oak series.
