9781978055339: Stumpy

Synopsis

First, Naya told how she became a Warden and ended ‎up with the Frightful Four. Then, Slink the fox took up ‎the tale, telling about their first days as a team, adjusting ‎to having their own person at last, and their time at ‎school, learning how to be a functional Wurzite team. ‎ Now, Stumpy the donkey takes over the narrative. ‎Gentle, sensitive, intellectual, and sometimes lacking in ‎confidence he’s almost the polar opposite of his madcap ‎friend Slink. His greatest joys are reading, teaching, and ‎giving rides to children.‎ Their lives have been changing ever since they Chose ‎Naya, but as the Urzites approach the end of their initial ‎training and prepare to graduate from school and embark ‎on their first real job, the pace of that change is ‎increasing and the future is uncertain. Will they all pass ‎their exams? What job will they be assigned to after ‎graduation? ‎ When they finally find out, it’s a big surprise. They’re ‎going on a special mission; a mission that will involve a ‎trip back to Naya’s hometown. The Urzites are excited. ‎They’ve always wanted to see where Naya came from, ‎maybe even meet some of her old friends and learn more ‎about her life before she became a Warden.‎ But, this is country where Wardens are disliked and ‎misunderstood and Urzites are unknown. There will be ‎challenges and perhaps even real danger ahead. The ‎others are predators. They are equipped by nature and by ‎instinct to cope in dangerous situations. Stumpy is a ‎donkey, a herbivore, and he’s always felt a little out of ‎place in the gang because of that. Now, he needs to ‎overcome his feelings of inadequacy and find his own ‎brand of self-confidence and courage to face what lies ‎ahead and find his true place as an Urzite and a member ‎of the Frightful Four.‎
