Cyril Squirrel has always lived in the great oak tree. His family had nested there for generations, building the squirrel house themselves and adding to it as their family grew.
After sheltering in a nearby barn during a fierce storm one night, Cyril returned home to find his family tree had been struck by lightning and was split right down the middle - half leaning to the left and the other half leaning to the right.
Will Cyril’s friend Betsy Barn Owl be able to show Cyril how to look at this split in a different way and, as the past cannot be changed, find the perfect home for him again?
