Tyler Felton panics when the girl mumbles "truck, bad men . . . drugs." Suspecting his parents are responsible, and involved in dark and sinister activities, the 17-year-old hides the girl in his secret refuge deep in the park evergreens. Refuge in the Park takes off from there as the clever Steeple Point animals and Amira the hawk assist Police Chief Kingman and his officers in their efforts to identify and capture the criminals. Riveting, with fast-paced action, Refuge delves into the realms of human trafficking, family dynamics, and the choices that define courage and survival. The third book in the Steeple Point series, Refuge in the Park will keep you turning the pages and cheering for the heartwarmingly close community of animals and humans, especially young Tyler as he confronts the hard realities of fear, conflict, and adjustment. The author's richly defined characters and creative use of interspecies communication will have the reader clamoring for more Steeple Point thrillers.
