Bookroo's summary

Eli, Morgan, and Emily face their toughest challenge yet: rescuing kidnapped animal beings from the Land of the Sleeping Giant. With the help of unexpected allies and the Bird Warriors' leader, Pip, they journey across the North Country. As they confront old foes, Eli grapples with a startling revelation about his own nature. Can they save their friends and uncover the truth about Eli's heritage?

From the publisher

Eli and Morgan embark on a dangerous mission to rescue kidnapped animal beings in the fifth adventure in the award-winning, Narnia-inspired Indigenous middle-grade fantasy series, now available in paperback. Eli, Morgan and Emily embark on their most dangerous mission yet, to save the kidnapped animal beings of Ministik. But before they can reach the heavily guarded Land of the Sleeping Giant, Eli must rally more help, not just from old friends, but from surprising new allies. And he must rely on a new way to travel: on the back of the leader of the Bird Warriors himself, Pip. Together they will journey across the North Country, on a mission to reconnect the Bird Warriors, as well as confront old enemies. But even as he must fight for his life – and the lives of his friends and new family – Eli must also come to terms with his newfound knowledge: What does it mean that he is only part human?
