Courage, kindness, and adventure abounds in this charming, illustrated chapter book series! The Heartwood Hotel must prove its worth when a rival hotel comes to the forest!

Spring has come to Fernwood Forest, and the Heartwood Hotel is all a-bustle. With Mr. Heartwood off on vacation, it’s up to Mona and the rest of the staff to keep everything running smoothly.

When rumors buzz of a rival hotel, the Heartwood is determined to prove they’re the very best inn around with the most spectacular Spring Splash the forest has ever seen. Guests check in from near and far to compete for the Cutest Egg, the Tiniest Talent, and the Best Blossom.

But it’s not all fun and games! Is Henry the newcomer too happy to help out? And are those uninvited guests looking to cause trouble? There’s suddenly more to worry about than whose egg has the sweetest speckles. Can Mona find a way to bring everyone together in time to save them all from danger?

This next installment of the Heartwood Hotel chapter book series is a cozy adventure through an imaginative woodland, complete with charming black and white illustrations, comforting themes, and a classic feel.
