Lily is only four, but she can hear the secret thoughts of magical beasts—and that makes her the sharpest force in the Forbidden Woods. Her dad Ethan means well and loves to play the hero, yet his lack of power usually leaves Lily and her beast allies to save the day. With bounty hunters on their trail and Ethan’s treacherous uncle hunting them too, Lily calls on her beast troop to push back. The villains are reduced to humiliating cleaning duties, and the forest eventually becomes home to a lively beast kindergarten.
