Winona has spent her entire life looking across the river at the land where humans chopped down her forest. So when beehives appear on that same bank, she knows exactly what it means: the dreaded honey mushroom, its rot working up through the roots, and the grove dying all over again. Her sisters want to research it first. Winona needs it eradicated. Now. But the beekeeper is gentler than she expects, and he reads soil better than any dryad in the basin. That night, alone with the books her sisters don't know she has, Winona finds the one word that unravels everything her fear was based on. Then the real infection surfaces—in the roots of a hopeful willow priestess in Salix Basin. The Honey Tree is a standalone short story set a year before Digital Dryad. No prior reading required.

Saving the forest, one line of code at a time. Sierra's comfortable life as a dryad might go up in flames if she can't convince her nature-loving family of dryads that computers are just as natural as trees. At the old age of 14, she's relieved when she finally bonds with a tree. But her tree isn't physical—it's digital. If that's not enough, her grove now has to fight fires that threaten to destroy not only their beloved trees but also the nearby human town. As Sierra's natural and digital worlds collide, she must connect them or risk losing everyone she loves. Digital Dryad is the first book in a new middle grade fantasy series for girls. If you like girls who code, engaging fantasy set in the modern world, and exciting juxtapositions of programming and magic, then you'll love this new book by web developer and author Jennifer Kyrnin.
