In this imaginative and heartwarming picture book, Tilly and the Wisdom Trials introduces young readers to a world hidden beneath the prairie - a place where learning is a magical adventure and knowledge is the key to unlocking ancient secrets.
Tilly, a clever and kind-hearted young badger, discovers a mossy wooden gate hidden among vines and roots, setting her on an unexpected path: the legendary Wisdom Trials. With her loyal companions, the Brainy Bunch, she journeys through a series of challenges that test more than just book smarts. From riddle gates and logic tunnels to kindness puzzles and courage quests, each trial demands wit, empathy, and commitment.
Written in lyrical rhyme and brimming with wonder, Tilly and the Wisdom Trials is the first book in the Critter Quest Academy Collection - a series that blends adventure, problem-solving, and joyful learning in an underground world of whimsical crifters. Ideal for fans of The Questioneers and The Tale of Despereaux, this story celebrates curiosity, resilience, and the magic of a mind set on discovery.

“Down in Prairie City, we learn letters, and
numbers, and lore. We build tunnels of truth and kindness galore.”

“But to find Prairie City, you must pass one more
gate. After the Trial of the Worm Train, before it’s too late!”
-
“The gate creaked open with a glittering glow, and
tunnels of wonder lit up below.”
-
“3 moles, each bring 2 balls to answer the call.
How many balls do we have in all?”
-
“Every trail is carved in tales”
-
Such is the path into the journey of the wise.
Where hearts stay humble and truth never dies
