Nurk: The Strange, Surprising Adventures of a (Somewhat) Brave Shrew
by Ursula Vernon

Nurk: The Strange, Surprising Adventures of a (Somewhat) Brave Shrew Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Nurk is a quiet homebody of a shrew. But when a mysterious plea for help arrives in the mail, he invokes the spirit of his fearless warrior-shrew grandmother, Surka, and sets off to find the sender. It seems the prince of the dragonflies has been kidnapped, and Nurk is his last hope for rescue. Such a mission would be daunting for even the biggest, baddest, and bravest of shrews, and Nurk is neither big nor bad, and only a little brave. But he does his very best--and hopes his grandmother would be proud.
      
Nurk is a warm, wonderful, and hilarious illustrated adventure about courage, family legacies, and friendships of a most unusual nature.

Synopsis:

A sort-of brave shrew packs up a few pairs of clean socks and sails off on an accidental adventure, in this warm, hilariously illustrated tale about courage, family legacies, and friendships of a most unusual nature. Illustrations.
