8. An unexpected friendship

In Acorn Grove, no one is aware that the Orangelake is home to the elusive carrotrouts. For many generations, these whimsical creatures have stayed hidden from the frightening inhabitants of the outside world who, from time to time, come to steal their tasty fizzy orange juice-flavoured water. But when the Hoppybrook River bursts its banks in a sudden flood, the carrotrouts find themselves swept into every den in Acorn Grove, stirring up a whirl of unexpected adventures.
