Henbit and Her Sisters — Marty Donnellan

Protected by the beautiful hawk Tegera, frendibles are small creatures who live in the woods, meadows and thickets of the southern U.S. Henbit is a bossy, opinionated pine frendible with two bratty younger sisters, Cloudberry and Sweetflag. Her world is turned upside down when Cloudberry disappears. Henbit, who has never left the forest either, sets out to find her. She expects Tegera's help, but the hawk, too, has vanished. With options running out, Henbit is forced to rely on prank-loving Sweetflag. Soon she discovers that not only are both sisters' lives at stake, but the existence of all frendibles is jeopardized. As Henbit journeys to new places, meets new friends and faces new enemies, her assumptions about life and love are put to the test. "Henbit and Her Sisters" is Book One of "The Forest of the Frendibles" series.
