"The books celebrate the very meaningful idea of friendship."—Amy Poehler's Smart Girls In the fourth middle grade chapter book, The Hidden Kingdom , animals in the valley start to trip on the crumbling ground beneath them, water disappears, and strange voices are heard.

However, it’s a group of veiled creatures—a chameleon, stick bugs, leaf bugs, and other assorted camouflaged insects—that are upset because they want the valley’s recognition for their hard work in preventing a drought. The Nocturnal Brigade—Dawn, Tobin, and Bismark—solves this mystery and unites the forest. GREAT FOR HOMESCHOOLING!
