Dark, scary and magnificently illustrated, this is a new series not to be missed!
Pip and his friends Toad and Frankie are holed up in Hangman's Hollow in the dead of winter, and Pip has made a thrilling discovery. He longs to race out into the snow to act on it, but he knows there is great danger outside with the sinister warden Jarvis and the wicked woodsfolk of the forest on the prowl. And so begins a new and final adventure for our heroic friends as they join forces to rise up against the creatures of Spindlewood forest and reclaim the city for their own - and Pip might just find something very dear to his own heart ...
