In the Shadow of the Lynx (Billy Bones, #2) - Ron Oaks - Bog

BILLY BONES. Book Two, IN THE SHADOW OF THE LYNX
A fantasy series for middle grade and adults alike
The journey begins in Book One, Beyond the Tall Grass, when the shepherd dog "Bones" chases a deer through a mysterious passageway that suddenly opens between two ancient trees on either side of an old wagon trail. Inside this other dimension, the two animals find a storybook world and are transformed into creatures who think and speak like the pioneers who originally migrated along the trail.
The dog and the deer soon discover that the peace of this "Enchantment" is being endangered by a charismatic lynx who, due to his treatment in the outside world, wants all the ancient human artifacts destroyed.
THE AMAZING JOURNEY CONTINUES IN BOOK TWO as the lynx continues to solidify his influence and "Billy Bones" becomes increasingly aware of his psychic gifts. Soon Billy and his friends are engulfed in new adventures - a fall flood, a perilous snowstorm, and being lost in the bowels of a forbidden mountain.
Unfortunately, an incident after the celebrated May Day Race threatens to change the tranquility of the tiny world forever, and Billy Bones must decide how much he is willing to sacrifice in order to save the little society.
