    About this ebook

    Stumpy the Squirrel and friends team up to save the day in this charming standalone companion to the beloved Gooseberry Park, from Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant and illustrator Arthur Howard.

    There has been no rain for months, and all of the animals in Gooseberry Park are in danger. Can the crew of dear friends come up with a brilliant solution in time to save the day? Absolutely!

    Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant’s first novel in more than a decade has all the wit and charm of the first adventure of the Gooseberry Park gang, as she “ unspools a quietly magical tale of cooperation and kindness” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

      I am in love with Kona the chocolate Labrador. I want a dog that loves me like Kona loves Professor Albert and Gwendolyn the hermit crab and all of his friends. Arthur Howard's lovingly goofy illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to Cynthia Rylant's comforting, just-the-right-amount of-humor prose.

    Rain Matters

    Gooseberry Park was mystical. That was how Gwendolyn described it once, when Kona took her for a visit to the new home Stumpy and her three children shared with Murray (a very nice sugar maple tree on the south side).

    Mystical. A place of enchantment. Gwendolyn was a very spiritual hermit crab, and just as she could recognize a beautiful heart in a person (such as Professor Albert, who this day was helping his third cousin paint a porch), or a beautiful heart in a bat or a squirrel or a dog, she could also recognize it in a place.

    There was a stillness to Gooseberry Park that is rare in this world. It seemed that every tree, every flower and bird and creature, had taken a deep breath and settled in. This feeling nearly brought tears to Gwendolyn’s eyes as Kona carried her through the winding paths and alongside the flowing water of Gooseberry Creek.

    How precious, this green place, Gwendolyn whispered.

    She and Kona had a lovely visit that day with Stumpy, Murray, Top, Bottom, and Sparrow. It is not often one sees a Labrador, a hermit crab, four squirrels, and a bat sharing egg rolls and powdered doughnuts. But feeding good friends was Murray’s second-favorite hobby. (His first favorite was feeding himself.)

    It had been a very special afternoon for Gwendolyn and her friends. It seemed, that early-spring day, that nothing would ever go wrong in Gooseberry
