The Green-Wing Chronicles: The Hollow (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798996885923)

Hidden high among the ancient trees of a forgotten cemetery, a remarkable civilization has been quietly growing for generations.

The Green-Wing Flock has built an extraordinary city of woven branches, towering galleries, and living nests unlike anything the outside world has ever imagined. Their laws are simple: build together, protect one another, and never question the old stories.

Until now.

When the ancient bell rings without warning, young builder Ash discovers a mysterious crack beneath the oldest gate of the Hollow. Strange voices whisper from the darkness below. Forgotten legends begin to stir. And the elders seem to know far more than they are willing to admit.

Joined by his fearless friend Lark, the wise Juniper, the enigmatic Bell Speaker, and a community bound together by courage and tradition, Ash is drawn into a mystery that reaches back to the very first birds who made the Hollow their home.

As secrets buried beneath the roots begin to awaken, Ash must decide whether preserving the past is enough-or whether the future of every bird depends on uncovering the truth.

Filled with unforgettable characters, breathtaking world-building, humor, mystery, and heart, The Green-Wing Chronicles: The Hollow is the first book in an enchanting fantasy series inspired by the real monk parakeets that made an unlikely home in Brooklyn's historic cemeteries.

Perfect for readers who love richly imagined worlds, found-family adventures, and stories in the spirit of Redwall, Guardians of Ga'Hoole, Watership Down, and The Wings of Fire series.

Sometimes the smallest wings carry the greatest hope.
