Mona is now a fixture at the hotel and has even won over Tilly, but as winter settles in, the hotel is faced with new challenges. The second book, The Greatest Gift, picks up this storyline where it left off in A True Home. Mona has to use all her wits to save her new home. But it isn’t easy going, not when her fellow maid Tilly the Squirrel keeps trying to get her fired, and definitely not when the whole hotel is threatened by a pack of hungry wolves. She’s offered a job as a maid and eagerly tries to prove her worth to Mr. She stumbles upon a huge tree and discovers it’s the famous Heartwood Hotel, a stopping place for animals from all over Fernwood. In the first instalment, A True Home, Mona the mouse is alone and lost in a terrible storm. George aims her Heartwood Hotel series at a slightly more advanced readership, but maintains her commitment to telling tales that feel like a gentle hug. Her Magical Animal Adoption Agency series for beginning readers is full of the kind of subtle quirkiness and mythical animals kids love. If there’s one thing Vancouver author Kallie George knows, it’s how to craft a tale full of whimsy.
