Excerpt from the book:
“Gideon, Alba, and Zoysia are on a quest from the Gulf Coast to the Sandhills, where the ancient longleaf pines guard the wisdom of legendary golfers. They’re hoping to witness the rare fall of the longleaf pinecones, a spectacle that only happens once every seven years. But the pinecone path holds more surprises than they expect. Along the way, they find themselves surrounded by new sights and distractions like clouds that look like food and screeching cicadas that fall from the sky! With the help of new friends—Mac, the nut-loving chipmunk, and Edyth, the tree kangaroo who escaped from the zoo—they learn chipping and pitching. As they venture northeast, they discover the power of focus. Get ready for another fun adventure filled with discovery, laughter, and new surprises!"
