In a soaring conclusion to a moving trilogy, national treasure Kate DiCamillo shows how friendship, trust, and stories—lived and shared—transform us.

Orris and Timble: Star Stories follows the friendship between Orris, a rat, and Timble, an owl. They meet each night in an old barn to share stories. One evening, Timble asks a fateful question: “Why don’t you ever leave the barn, Orris?”

Strong and brave, the owl offers to carry the rat on his back, allowing Orris to witness the world—the rivers and fish, roads and farms, mountains and coyotes. But why would Orris leave the barn when everything he needs is there: his books, the moon and stars above, and Timble’s nightly tales of high-flying adventure?

What would you do if you had the chance to fly?

In the final instalment of this exquisitely illustrated and deeply felt early-reader trilogy, two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo reveals how trust and friendship can lift us into our best lives.
