What if badgers decide to fight back against destructive humans, and a 12-year-old girl can hear them talk?

When young badger Nim sees her woodland home ripped apart, her father calls on the Folk of the Field and Forest to destroy the village and drive humans away forever. Nim’s instincts tell her this plan will bring disaster to them all.

She seeks help from the Truth-Sayer Hare, but Lloer’s advice is full of riddles.

Lloer tasks Nim with what seems an impossible mission. One that brings her closer to the ancient human enemy than she could have ever imagined.

An eco-adventure for all ages over 9.

Praise for The Badger Resistance Army

‘Catherine Holland-Bax’s lyrical story, told through the eyes of a young badger, hits all the right notes. Empathetic and cleverly woven, this novel is a real treat for a reader.’
Imogen Cooper, Award-winning children's book editor and Founder of the Golden Egg Academy.

"A richly imagined delight of a book that places animals truly at the heart of their own story. And all young readers will be enchanted by the idea of talking to, making friends with, the wild creatures of the woods…

When the woodland inhabitants discover their human neighbours are planning to ‘develop’ their land, can they come together to save their homes? And can an inquisitive and open human girl help, or will that threaten the entire plan? In badger protagonist Nim, Catherine has created an extraordinary voice that feels very much of the earth and a character of curiosity, courage and honesty. Through Sally, the girl who discovers a long-forgotten special connection between humans and the animal world, we can rediscover our own joy in the flora and fauna of our shared earth, and find hope."
