Book Cover & Preview Text
Patric kept very still and listened and looked. His head was close to the ground.
"Here, here," said the voice. On an island of grass in the middle of the largest puddle of mud, standing on a broken twig was a small golden salamander. It was crying, and when it cried it made a sound like the tinkling of tiny bells.
"Please take us with you. We have nowhere to go," said the voice. "We're afraid of the tractor and the noise. It tore up the pond and made all this mud, and we can't find our brother."
"Who are you?" asked Patric.
"We're the Sallymanders. I'm Sally. That's Mandy," said the voice. "We're sisters. It is our brother, Der, who is lost."
Patric looked at Deedee. "We must help them, we must," he said. "But how?"
