A young vole, Vee, is very worried about earthquakes. They’re new to the area and her parents say all animals will have to move if the earthquakes continue or get worse. Vee finds out that humans drilling into the earth on the other side of the mountain are causing the earthquakes. She is determined to go and beg the humans to stop their drilling. Everyone tells her the mountain is too far, and humans can’t understand animals who try to talk to them. But Vee can’t give up; she must try to get the humans to understand the dangers they are causing to animals in her home place.
