When human intrusion threatens a prairie dog colony, ten of the residents set out in search of safer pasture.
Among them:
Hieronymus, a brave but reluctant leader
Esmerelda, feisty, vain, self-centered
Corot, wise, dreamy, loyal
Ozymandius, a precocious adolescent
On their journey they experience high adventure, struggle with predators, confront the physical obstacles of a cliff and a river, and struggle with the internal threats of dissension and doubt. Along their way they come to a deeper understanding of courage, friendship, cooperation and perseverance.
