      Flora the packrat avoids strangers, especially opera-singing porcupines and rabbits that make prickly pear cactus pads talk. She’s never flown through the air, nor drooped herself before a kangaroo rat king. And she would never talk with a blood-thirsty owl, because everyone knows owls can’t talk. Besides, they eat packrats. Flora’s life is all about snuggling in her treasure-packed nest and ‘snibbling’ snacks with her packrat pal. All this is about to change when Flora learns about the ancestral packrat home stuffed in a dark crack in the looming dreaded cliff. Ever since a killer took it over, packrats have stayed away. Flora tucks the story of the home deep in her heart...then tumbles into a faraway canyon. Can she survive dangers that seem to lurk around every tree stump? And will she ever get home and confront the invader of the ancestral packrat home?
