Sonoris is...

 

A World of Wonder...

Mimi and Zack could now see straight through the workshop wall where the portal had been. Instead of the gnarled live oak and the brown grass of mid-summer, though, Mimi and Zack saw a sparkling vista of brilliant colors!

“Come on, Mimi! Let’s go!” (chapter one, The Temple)

 

Beauty...

The three set off in the cool morning air. It wasn’t long before dappled light was dancing through the forest canopy(chapter five, The Jungle)                                                                                                                                                                                           

 

Sounds...

As the three traveled the main road to Point Sound, rippling sea grass replaced the tall trees of the forest, and the cries of seagulls announced the approaching coastline. (chapter six, Point Sound)   

 
 

 

Music...

She stared up into the trees, then looked at Zack, astonished. "Do you hear that? It sounds like they're starting to sing... together." (bird song from the pine clearing in chapter one, The Temple - from actual birds)   

 
 

Strange Creatures...

Slowly, a masked face emerged from a clump of brownish-green fur hanging off a low branch. Zack watched with great curiosity. “What are you? A squirrel?” (Brady, the Sloth, chapter one, The Temple)

Brady, the Sloth

Danger!

“Zack! It’s the hawk! The danger signal!”

“We’re really picking up speed!” Zack cried, panicking.

As they rounded the next bend in the river, the rapids came into full view. 

“Zack, we need to get to the river bank! Quick!”  (chapter three, Confluence of the Rivers)

 
 

 

And Sonoris is a big place! (Hearsalot, High Priest, Order of the Rabbit from chapter two, Symphony Swamp)
