School is over for the summer and Pedro has high hopes of becoming a cork harvester. The cork forests of Portugal are magical and full of surprises. Beauty and danger often lurk among the cork oak trees. The countryside is usually tranquil and peaceful but at times it can become a forest of turmoil, excitement and challenges. Adventures seem to find Pedro at the oddest times.
