Chapter 2: The Cottage

We are so glad you’re joining us for the Growly Reading Adventure! Today we’re reading Chapter 2: The Cottage, in which we learn more about the cottage, and the mysterious Explorers who first built it. (If you missed Chapter 1, you can find it here.)

Our illustrator, Annie Barnett, did an amazing job creating the maps you will find in the book. You can download and print the Upper Lands map, which shows the area where Growly lives and the places mentioned in the first part of Begin.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments of this post! No spoilers, please! If you have a question about a part of the story we haven’t read yet please hold those until a later time. We will only approve comments that are spoiler-free, out of courtesy to those who are hearing the story for the first time.

Thanks so much for watching!

We also have a special gift for you.
