    Brunner

    Geoffrey Malone

    Formats & Editions

    When Brunner's family is killed by hunters, he treks across the snowy wilderness in search of a new home among the beavers of Lake Napachokee.

    But nowhere is safe. Developers are bulldozing and dynamiting the lake to build a hotel, and all the animals are at risk. Yet - thought they are small - they are determined to resist the might of men and their deadly machines.

    BRUNNER was originally published in 1994 as THE BATTLE FOR BEAVER LAKE.

    Geoffrey Malone spent most of his childhood in Africa, where he managed to avoid any formal education until the age of eleven. After school in England, he joined the army for sixteen years, then worked and travelled in North America. He became a broadcaster and wrote his first book about his nearest neighbours, a family of beavers: 'Brunner'. He lives happily in London with his wife and their cocker spaniel, Harriett, and advises charities dedicated to the preservation of endangered species. He has won the Children's Book of the Year prize in the French 'Tam-Tam, j'aime lire' competition, and the 'Prix Enfant-Grandparent Europeen' for 'Torn Ear'. He was also recently shortlisted for the Stockton Award for 'Elephant Ben'.
