Acorn is 9. He lives in a swamp. He doesn't remember his parents. He has been raised by the swamp people amongst the gentle creatures, the Whiles. They are pet-like and unique to each individual. But when disaster occurs and turns the Whiles from gentle to mean, Acorn must embark on a journey to discover the cause and save the creatures.
In this highly imaginative novel, we are reminded that life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!
