- FOR SUCH AN OTHERWORLDLY fellow, Ombric was a very thoughtful host. Not only had he brought everyone in the village to his tree, but with a quiet command, he asked Big Root to form sleeping quarters for all the children, and the tree complied, as it always did, with his wishes. Bunk beds materialized from its hollow center, fanning out like the spokes of a giant wheel. Each row was stacked five beds high. And twisting down the center was a spiral staircase.
- Cookies, chocolates, and warm cocoa hovered in the air by each bed. The fear ebbed from the children as they reached for the sweets. The adults were more wary. They knew these treats were meant to comfort. So they were braced. . . .What was Ombric going to tell them?
