A few moments could change a future... Lily the cygnet, or baby swan, thinks she's going to have a simple life--grow-up peacefully, have a mate and cygnets of her own, and most of all, be happy. But when Lily learns that her species is being hunted by humans--and is becoming endangered because of it--she realizes that she doesn't want her happily ever after anymore. Instead, she wants to make a difference...But how can she help her dying species? And as if the young bird has enough to worry about, a sudden forest fire rips her beloved home apart, and she is separated from her family. Lily will finally have the chance to go to Horizon of Nature, the wondrous place where all animals live in peace--not to mention the only other place besides Forest of Ferns where her kind lives. And to Lily's surprise, she won't make this journey because she wants to, but because she needs to: Horizon of Nature is where she has hope to reunite with her family. Written by Natalie Kwong, the author of "Natalie's Notebook: Stories from the Heart," when she was eleven-years-old, Lily's journey to accomplish her dreams should not be overlooked.
