s4story -- Caroline C Barney's Moonbeam Award winning Trebor Tales series returns January 29, 2021 with more action-packed adventure and whimsical magic.

Return of the Malpeds brings readers deeper into the enchanted world of the Trebors as the characters continue learning the importance of community and togetherness while struggling to solve a new mystery that threatens to tear them apart. Though the Trebor Tales series boasts enduring characters, an epic journey, and a captivating world that will appeal to all mainstream middle-grade readers, the morality driving the story and the understanding that there is strength in unity will enchant readers of all ages.

Peace reigns in the Land of Bori. Growth springs from the earth as the great tree pushes its power through its mighty roots. But there's a noise at the edge of the forest. It darts into the dark. A voice calls to the Trebors. Come and play with us. Come and play with us. But when Ebert decides to follow what lurks in the forest, he has an unexpected encounter. The malpeds have returned. Pitter pat. Pitter pat. Their tiny legs run their rhythm. Pitter pat. Pitter pat. Look what we can do, they say. We are changed, they say. Can this be true? Are they different from the evil, giant malped they defeated? As Ebert follows the mysteries of his new friends, Stella must decide if they can be trusted this time or if she will lose her brother forever.
