Book description
Long ago, long before Sylver the weasel was born, the humans all left
Welkin. Now life for a weasel - under the heavy paw of the vicious
stoat rulers - is pretty miserable (unless you hap,pen to be a weasel
who LIKES living in a hovel and toiling all hours for the benefit of
the stoats).
It's certainly not enough for Sylver. Or for his small band of
outlaws, both jacks and jills. But slingshots and darts can only do so
much against heavily-armed stoats and life as an outlaw has a fairly
limited future (probably a painful one, too). That's when Sylver comes
up with his plan - a heroic plan that could destroy the stoats' reign
of power for ever. He will find the humans, and bring them back to
Welkin! And the first step is to follow up a clue from the past - a
clue that lies in a place known as THUNDER OAK...
