So Many Books: The Joy of the Game
In Lynne Rae Perkins’s delightful animal fantasy Nuts to You, a group of gray squirrels has traveled far (in squirrel terms), only to discover that their friends and families are in danger. Humans are using chainsaws to cut down branches growing near the buzzpaths (powerlines), and the gray squirrel colony is right in the path of destruction. Jed, Tsuh-Tsuh, and Chai race home to warn everyone. But there’s a problem: How are they going to convince their fellow squirrels— stubborn and resistant to change by nature—to get out of harm’s way?
