"From a distance a smaller beetle; a scarab, was watching him and became curious. Mantis was looking sideways and turning upside down to see how deep the cave went. The young scarab flew over to him, intrigued by what it was that Mantis was trying to look at from such a peculiar angle."

With characters that will touch your heart, this fantasy-adventure story is a classic good versus evil tale. Set in a deep dark forest where evil has taken over, Jody - a ten-year-old girl - must journey with five warriors of the forest to gather ingredients, to make the only potion that will convert the Dark One and his deformed finders back to good.

Mermaids, insects, Shwyno lizards, orangutans, a grizzly bear and many others become a part of their epic adventure - as courage, faith, companionship and light-heartedness see them through their grueling quest.

Filled with danger, suspense, cliffhangers and tough decisions to make, will the team of warriors succeed in retrieving the ingredients? And without loss?
