I can easily see my 7-year old son enjoying this series if he reads by himself or if it’s a book we read nightly together. The Heartwood Hotel’s motto is: “We Live by Protect and Respect, Not by Tooth and Claw”, which the author thinks applies beyond the great tree’s rooms and will resonate with young readers and I agree! In this series, there are a lot of life lessons of acceptance that young readers will capture along the way. Youngsters can read and engage themselves in this series as they follow Mona through her family tragedy and the hunt to find another home and friends and acceptance. The Heartwood Hotel series is comprised of adorable, cute early chapter books geared for ages 7-10 with it’s easy reading and visual penciled pictures along the way.


Soon Mona finds that this hotel is more than a warm place to spend the night. But the Heartwood Hotel is not all acorn soufflés and soft moss-lined beds. As it turns out, Mona is precisely the maid they need at the grandest hotel in Fernwood Forest, where animals come from far and wide for safety, luxury, and comfort. Books one and two are published simultaneously, both in hardcover and paperback, with an accelerated publishing program aimed to keep readers hooked.Īt the start of this series, when Mona stumbles across the wondrous world of the Heartwood Hotel in the middle of the storm, she desperately hopes they’ll let her stay. This heartwarming chapter book series follows the tale of Mona the Mouse, who discovers that the Heartwood Hotel is more than just a place to work or stay – it becomes a home. Redwall meets Downton Abbey, in Heartwood Hotel: Book One, A True Home and Book Two, The Greatest Gift.


Any opinions expressed here are honest and my own. I received a copy of “ The Greatest Gift and A True Home” ($5.99/each value) in exchange for this promotion.
