First in a magical adventure series for young readers (ages 6-8 approx) in which secretive little people repair damage and rewild local environments from bestselling author of Unicorn Academy series.

The Keepers are a secretive tribe of little people who live in the middle of Whispering Woods, coming out at night to care for the countryside and rewild it when humans (or Ruffins as they know them) are careless with it.

Young Keepers Cora and Jax have just finished school and are embarking on a trial, with several friends, to become fully-fledged Keepers. But their first venture out on their own ends in disaster when they become distracted with playing in the Ruffin children's playground instead of concentrating on the task they've been given. Can they ever be trusted to be Keepers in their own right?

Given one last chance, they come across a fox cub with an injured paw. Can they heal it on their own so it can get back to its mother before the Ruffins discover it, or will they have to ask for help and get in to more trouble for being somewhere they had been banned from?
