Honi is just trying to help her family survive in a world where the land, sky, and seas all grow books--and companies are in fierce competition to harvest the most. She enjoys her time gathering books for the LAND Company on the back of her giraffe . . . until things start to go wrong.
The Earth Serpent--the god who makes books grow on trees--is sick, and so is the land. A single golden Book holds how to save the Earth Serpent and his people, or, if it falls into the hands of the rival companies, how to destroy them once and for all.
Honi wants her family and people to survive to the next season, so when she finds the Book she knows she'll do everything and anything to keep it safe, even fight the whole of a rival company to do so.

The Forest by _Tiny_Stories_

Ernwood Forest is home to people living hidden from the prying eyes of humans; the Winged and their tribes. These people stand no taller than a few centimetres off the ground, meaning that things can sometimes get a little difficult... especially when humans are involved. But life isn't all bad. For the first time ever, Azure and the tribes have a human of their own protecting them from the sinister forces beyond the edge of the trees. As the months of winter roll in, nights are growing longer and snow has settled on the leafless branches. The forest is still. The only humans anyone expects to see are the few that know of the tiny people's existence. But the tribes are not alone in the forest anymore. The abductions begin. The past awakens. And a long forgotten shadow falls over the forest. Azure and the others once again find themselves having to fight to prevent their family from being ripped apart- only this time, things are different. This time, even the humans are in danger. ❤️❤️ Updates: When I can ahh❤️❤️ ⚠️ Mild fear/ violence warning --- This is the third part to this little trilogy :) I would recommend reading the other parts first if you can suffer through them. I can gladly summarise all that has happened so far in a lil note in the beginning if people so desire to skip two stories full of what a younger-me considered good writing :)
