Description
Legend Keepers: The Chosen One has won the Silver/2nd place award in the 2022 Feathered Quill Book Awards Program for both the Young Readers and Animal - Children's/YA categories!
In a perilous place at the roof of the world, an orphaned mountain goat is rescued from certain death by a mysterious raven. Communication between a mountain goat and raven might seem strange. But what becomes more unreachable is Buddy's realization that she alone can save a band of goats from the great danger foretold in an ancient legend. This brilliant tale with a clever mix of discovery will spark the intellectual curiosity of every reader.
