The Three-Berry Academy

by Joseph Helgerson, Lauren Mortimer (Illustrator)

Overview

The Three-Berry Academy returns to the world of Horns & Wrinkles, where trolls who live along the Mississippi River have strong feelings about getting an education--they'd rather not.

Ms. Quiet Quickthorn is the headmistress of the Three-Berry Academy, a one-room school house found at the bottom of Big Mouth Slough. There's a catfish in the school's rafters and a snapping turtle hall monitor. But even with their help, Ms. Quickthorn has her hands full. Young trolls just don't want to return to school after a summer of roaming free on the river. To fill her classroom she first has to catch her students. And even then they don't come willingly, which only adds to the fun.

About the Author

Joseph Helgerson was born and raised along the Mississippi River. Catfish and river trolls were his early pals. During the flood of '51 he had to be evacuated from his home by a leaky rowboat. The first school he attended was a one-room country schoolhouse that overlooked the river near Queens Bluff, Minnesota. Today he keeps an eye on the river as it passes through the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, where he lives with his family.

Lauren Mortimer was born in Tucson, Arizona, and moved to London when two years old. She's stayed there ever since. She finds that living in the city comes with many advantages, but there are times when she just needs to get closer to the natural world. She's at her most content when sitting somewhere quiet and beautiful, observing. No distractions. Just herself, her pencil, paper. And nature.
