Abbie's Woods: Defending the Nest (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781941720776)

Twelve-year-old Abbie Keegan loves spending time in the woods behind her house and watching the silly-looking baby robins as they grow. The woods are a retreat from her parents' constant bickering and from her sweet, but needy, little brother.

Then Abbie sees two boys breaking bottles in the pond. She refuses to allow such harm to "her" woods. However, every attempt she makes to stop the boys only provokes them to greater destruction. Her retreat becomes a place of fear instead of peace. A feud is born, and Abbie feels helpless to stop it. At home, her parents seem close to divorce and her brother's asthma is getting worse. How can Abbie protect the people and places she loves?
