In this delightful adventure, Pippin discovers her unique powers and confronts villains in Shiny Pippin and the Broken Forest, blending humor and excitement.

In Shiny Pippin and the Broken Forest, we meet an ordinary girl named Pippin who lives a simple life with her grandmother in the quaint town of Funsprings. However, her mundane existence takes a thrilling turn when her grandmother reveals a hidden past as a secret crime fighter. This revelation sets the stage for an adventure that will change Pippin's life forever. Not only does she discover her grandmother's secret life, but Pippin also learns that she possesses a unique gift: she is 'Shiny' and can communicate with animals. With this newfound power, she embarks on a quest to uncover the mystery behind the strange happenings in her town.

As the plot unfolds, Pippin faces a series of challenges, including kidnappers, evil scientists, and would-be diamond thieves. The stakes are high as the water in Funsprings disappears, and animals start to vanish. Pippin, determined and brave, must rally her new friends and confront the villains who threaten her world. The story is filled with humor and heart, making it an engaging read for children and adults alike.

Illustrated beautifully by Rebecca Bagley, Shiny Pippin and the Broken Forest is not just a tale of adventure; it’s a celebration of friendship, courage, and the importance of standing up for what is right. Harry Heape's debut series invites readers to join Pippin on her journey, reminding us that even the most ordinary among us can be extraordinary when faced with challenges.
