Tegera

Protected by the beautiful hawk Tegera, frendibles are small creatures who inhabit the woods, meadows and thickets of the southern United States. "Tegera", Book Two of the "Forest of the Frendibles" series, follows the adventures of now elderly pine frendible Henbit and her clan of younger charges after some of them are captured by a family of humans. The adult humans seek to exploit the frendibles and destroy their forest home while the two teenagers and their young sister fight to save them.
Complicating matters are the appearance of a bizarre, frendible-like creature of dubious intentions, and the return of an old and deadly foe. Can Tegera save them - and himself - before it's too late?
