Now both their kingdoms are in danger and they must team up to save them - but what hope do they have, when they can't even agree on what (or who) is for lunch?

But when a fisherman gives him an old collar with ancient writing on it, Scotty is whirled off on a series of extraordinary journeys with his best friend Owl.

Climate change can sometimes be a little frightening, and Scotty's story is a tale about the small changes we can all make to protect the planet. Will Scotty and Owl get home safely from their journeys around the world? Will they both learn something extraordinary about trees, home, and how to protect it by planting just one seed? Hold tight.
