The Whispering Woods

Sophie, Hattie, and Owen go camping only to get spooked by some whispering in the woods in this eighteenth charming book of The Adventures of Sophie Mouse!

Sophie, Hattie, and Owen are so excited to go camping! They prepare by learning how to set up a tent and making sure their bags are packed! But they aren’t prepared for the strange noises they hear while exploring their campsite. Is there someone else in the woods nearby, or is it just their imagination? As it gets dark out, and they hear the noises again, the friends decide they need to find out just what’s going on in these whispering woods.

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Sophie Mouse chapter books are perfect for beginning readers!

Poppy Green can talk to animals! Unfortunately, they never talk back to her. So she started writing in order to imagine what they might say and do when humans aren’t watching. Poppy lives on the edge of the woods in Connecticut, where her backyard is often a playground for all kinds of wildlife: birds, rabbits, squirrels, voles, skunks, deer, and the occasional wild turkey.
