Bravepaw and the Clawstone of Rotwood Mire

Adventurer Titch Proudleaf encounters a frightening swamp monster in this second book in the cozy illustrated middle grade fantasy series Bravepaw that’s perfect for fans of The Tale of Despereaux and Kelly Barnhill.

At last, humble villagemouse Titch Proudleaf is on a real adventure, just like the legendary hero, Bravepaw. But even her wildest imaginings didn’t include an enormous swamp monster and a village full of brainwashed squirrels!

Titch knows there are many ways to be brave, but how can she ever hope to defeat such a terrifying enemy? And what does the mysterious green gem in the heart of the swamp have to do with her quest to save Alluria?
