Egg Marks the Spot

Skunk and Badger, Book 2

By: Amy Timberlake

Narrated by: Michael Boatman

The reluctant odd couple from the highly acclaimed Skunk and Badger are back in this heartfelt, funny adventure from award-winning author Amy Timberlake.

Buried in the heart of every animal is a secret treasure. Badger's is the Spider Eye Agate, stolen years ago by his crafty and treasure-trade-dealing cousin, Fisher. Skunk's is Sundays with the New Yak Times Book Review.

When Mr. G. Hedgehog threatens to take the Book Review as soon as it thumps on the doorstep, Skunk decides an adventure ('X marks the spot!') will solve both their problems. Badger agrees, and together they set off for his favourite campsite on Endless Lake. But all is not as it seems at campsite number five. Harrumphs in the night. Unexpected friends.

Then Fisher appears, and Badger knows something is up.

Something involving secrets, betrayals and lies. And a luminous late-Jurassic prize.
