Annotation
In order to protect him, Grank raises the royal chick named Hoole
deep in the forest, but when an evil warlord attempts to lure Hoole
away to kill him, Grank brings Hoole to Beyond the Beyond, a
strange land of fiery volcanoes in a barren, icy landscape.
Summary

Grank realizes that the same evil forces that killed Hrath are after Hoole, and know where he is. To keep him safe, Grank brings him to Beyond the Beyond, a strange land of fiery volcanoes in a barren, icy landscape.(more)
