Teddycats Series

The Teddycats are safe in Horizon Cove, but making it in the big jungle is even harder than they thought.


The Teddycats made it out of Cloud Kingdom with nary a scratch, and it’s all thanks to our hero, Bill. But adjusting to life in Horizon Cove isn’t exactly easy, and the fact that the Teddycats know next to nothing about surviving in the wild doesn’t help. Everyone’s looking to Bill for guidance, but he’s not exactly a wilderness expert himself. So what’s a young Teddycat to do?

     Lucky for Bill, the Teddycats aren’t the only animals in Horizon Cove: their new neighbors are a flock of odd but hospitable tropical birds who call themselves the Pets. The Pets are more than happy to help The Teddycats adjust to life in the jungle. They even agree to be their pampered new friends’ survival coaches until the rainy season starts and they have to fly off to a drier climate.

     But then the telltale signs of rains come and go, and the Pets are nowhere near ready to leave. Bill doesn’t want to rush his new friends, but the Teddycats could really use some more space to build dens permanent enough to withstand the rains. So he decides to investigate. 

     And what he discovers is more chilling than the contents of even the meanest poacher’s hunting bag. The Pets aren’t who—or what—they say they are. And if Bill can’t convince the Teddycats not to hang around any longer to find out the whole truth, they’ll lose more than just their home. They’ll lose everything.

Bill is a young Teddycat, which means he’s one of the most special–and mysterious–animals in the jungle. Teddycats can climb higher than any other mammal around. And because the Teddycats can climb so high, they get to live way up in the highest branches of the tallest trees, in a well-hidden and protected place called Cloud Kingdom.
There are a lot of perks to Teddycat life, but there’s also a lot of responsibility–and rules–that come with it.
 
Here are some things that Teddycats CANNOT do:

   • Use their super-strong, razor-sharp claws for anything except climbing or life-or-death situations 
   • Reveal their existence or the location of Cloud Kingdom to humans and other predators 
 
And the number one thing that Teddycats can definitely, no matter what, NEVER do:

   • Bring outsiders into Cloud Kingdom 
 
That last rule is the most serious one of all. Unfortunately, it’s also the rule that Bill breaks one fateful day, when he brings his buddy Luke, an Olingo, up into Cloud Kingdom. All of a sudden, predators are circling, the ground beneath Cloud Kingdom is littered with human traps, and the Teddycat sanctuary is under attack. Their secret has been exposed, and Bill’s in danger of being banished for his crime. 
            When a baby Teddycat is trapped and taken by a potentially vicious human, Bill knows he has to make things right. Along with a brave but ragtag team of comrades, he sets out into the jungle, determined to fight for the future of his species. 
 
Will curiosity kill the Teddycats? Or will Bill find a way to claw his way out of this mess?
