In the dappled light of an ancient forest, where the air hums with life and the earth smells of damp leaves and possibility, a secret civilization has thrived in harmony with nature since the days of cavemen. They are the Crum, a remarkable offshoot of hominidae, standing no taller than thirteen inches, with leaf-green hair, grey-brown skin, and the extraordinary ability to hear the thoughts of the animals they live among. This is the breathtaking world introduced in the new novel, Roo and the World of Crum.
This is not a story of conquest, but of connection. It is a ground-level epic that unfolds in the mossy undergrowth, along babbling creeks, and under the roots of mighty oaks. Readers are invited to don a "shum" (a camouflaging cowl) and step into the shoes of Roo, a young and curious Crum, and his fox companion, Fen. Together, they navigate the wonders and perils of the forest—from forging friendships with a wise old stag and a mischievous raccoon to confronting the terrifying, indiscriminate danger of a forest fire.
Roo and the World of Crum is a masterfully woven tapestry of adventure, heart, and profound respect for the natural world. The story delves deep into the Crum’s sustainable way of life: their burrows illuminated by cultivated phosphorescent mushrooms, their leather clothes crafted from respectfully sourced materials, and their solemn rituals that return their departed to the earth under the roots of trees. It’s a poignant reminder of our place within the ecosystem, teaching lessons of coexistence, bravery, and compassion without ever feeling like a lesson.
The narrative pulses with the life of the forest floor. You’ll feel the smooth gait of a fox beneath you, smell the sweet decay of autumn leaves, and hear the simple, earnest thoughts of the creatures who call the woods home. This is a book that doesn’t just tell a story; it immerses you in an ecosystem.
Roo and the World of Crum is more than a book; it’s an experience. It’s a call to listen more closely to the world around us, to tread a little lighter, and to find magic in the most unexpected places.
Roo and the World of Crumis available for purchase in paperback and eBook formats on Amazon.
