The Heartwood Hotel must prove its worth when a rival hotel comes to the forest! Full of courage, kindness, and adorable woodland creatures, one little mouse will discover the true meaning of home in this charming illustrated chapter book series.

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 heartwarming illustrated chapter book will delight newly independent readers and send them scurrying for the fourth book in the series, Home Again.
