A Bit About Helga: Out of Hedgelands:

Twelve-year-old Helga has more danger in her life than most beasts her age. But what do you expect when you are a young beast who just can’t see the stupid rules of the world making any sense? Helga can’t accept things as they are and ends up taking on not  one, but two all-powerful, supreme tyrants in two different realms. She never intended to lead a revolution…It just sort of happened because she wouldn’t go along with the “rules of normal” that keep tyrants in power and entire societies enslaved.
