Series: Orris and Timble

Every friendship faces challenges. Orris and Timble are back in a poignant and evocatively illustrated tale of trust from a two-time Newbery Medalist.

Orris the rat and Timble the owl are unlikely friends. Each night, Timble visits Orris in the barn and listens to his stories. But Timble is growing up, and one evening when the owl doesn’t appear as usual Orris wonders if Timble has forgotten him. Is their friendship over? Or could it be that Timble has a tale of his own to share? Illustrated with wistful tenderness, the second title in a projected trilogy to feature this charmingly offbeat pair masterfully explores the stories we tell ourselves, the stories we tell each other, and the binding magic of friendship.

Reviews for Orris and Timble: Lost and Found: (A Sweet and Funny Early Chapter Book About Friendship, Trust, and Finding Your Way - For Kids Ages 5-8 in Grades K-3)

Laying out her themes early on and then quietly working them into the narrative, DiCamillo packs intense feelings into and between the lines of her simply phrased tale, set off perfectly by Mok’s spare, neatly drawn barnyard settings. . . Sensitive and quietly enthralling. —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
