Nuts to You

By: Lynne Rae Perkins

Narrated by: Jessica Almasy

How far would you go for a friend? In Nuts to You, the funny and moving new novel by Newbery Medalist Lynne Rae Perkins, two squirrels go very far indeed to save a friend who has been snatched up by a hawk. Nuts to You is short, funny, and surprising - an Incredible Journey with squirrels. It will appeal to fans of animal fantasies by Kate DiCamillo, Kathi Appelt, and Avi. The squirrels Jed, TsTs, and Chai are the very best of friends. So when Jed is snatched up by a hawk and carried away to another realm, TsTs and Chai resolve to go after him. New communities are discovered, new friends are made, huge danger is encountered (both man-made and of the fox and bobcat variety) and mysteries are revealed. Nuts to You is wholly original, funny, lively, and thought-provoking. It is a deeply satisfying piece of storytelling about the power of stories to save the world; about the power of friendship and the importance of community.

Entertaining for all ages.

Loved it! Read it to my kindergarten class, as well as with my 5th grade son. Everyone enjoyed listening to and discussing the story.

Fun squirrel adventure

My 7 year old really liked this. There are a few parts that might be scary for sensitive listeners but nothing terrible happens to any characters despite the danger they face.

The best way to read books.
