Return to the Golden Mist (Billy Bones, #3)

by Ron Oaks, Howard Garrett (Other), Ron Oaks (Illustrator)

Overview

THE AMAZING JOURNEY BEGINS when a shepherd dog named Bones chases a deer through a mysterious passageway that suddenly opens along an old wagon trail. Inside this other dimension, the two animals find a storybook world and are transformed into creatures who think and speak like the human pioneers who migrated along the same trail, hoping and dreaming of a new beginning.

IN RETURN TO THE GOLDEN MIST, The Enchantment is going through a number of new challenges and new beginnings. The inspiring leader of a pack of wild dogs has garnered the loyalty of a number of the inhabitants. Ideological differences are causing strife between communities, friends, and even families. Is this new leader the inspiration and hope of a new generation or do his ideas threaten the tranquility of the little world? What is the best path forward for Billy Bones and can the little world survive the change?
