Here they learn that it is their destiny to use their new magic skills to join the fight to save the valley from an evil break-away order, bent on exploitation. Follow their journey as undercover villains threaten Meg's life, and they fight to save the animals from extinction.

The animals in this book were first introduced by the author in her fantasy series. Many school teachers, librarians, and parents have requested books for younger children with stories and illustrations of the animals. One non-fiction picture book, featuring all of the animals from the fantasy series has been published. This is the first book in a series of picture books that will feature two of the animals interacting, as they would have in the wild. This one features the marsupial lion and the diprotodon. More than 50,000 years ago, Dippy the Diprotodon (di-prot-o-don) danced through the dense forest heading for his breakfast of fresh eucalyptus leaves. What he didn't know was that right behind him, stalking him, was a marsupial lion wanting to make Dippy his breakfast. Who will win this battle?
