Here’s what Julia Smith at Booklist said about Egg Marks the Spot:
“Timberlake creates an irresistible mix of high stakes, laugh-out-loud moments, and truly unexpected plot twists as the friends work together to fend off Cousin Fisher, making for an unforgettable expedition. ...All told, it's a wonderful read!” (⭐️ review!)
on the book jacket:
Buried in the heart of every animal is a secret treasure. Badger’s is the Spider Eye Agate, stolen years ago by his crafty and treasure-trade-dealing cousin, Fisher. Skunk’s is Sundays with the New Yak Times Book Review. When Mr. G. Hedgehog threatens to take the Book Review as soon as it thumps on the doorstep, Skunk decides an adventure (“X Marks the Spot!”) will solve both their problems. Badger agrees, and together they set off for his favorite campsite on Endless Lake.
But all is not as it seems at Campsite #5. Harrumphs in the night. Unexpected friends. Then Fisher appears, and Badger knows something is up.
Something involving secrets, betrayals, and lies.
And a luminous, late-Jurassic prize.

Also, Skunk says he is interested in the outcomes of ANY French Toast Sandwich experiment, so feel free to tell him how it went at tellskunkATgmailDOTcom. (This is written in a sort of secret code. Skunk says he is sure you will be able to figure it out.)
