Willodeen receives a hand-made model of a screecher from her new friend Connor, and the model seems to become a real baby screecher. That’s when something miraculous happens. But slowly, the number of screechers dwindles, until the last one is killed by a hunter with a bow and arrow. Willodeen loves screechers: she observes them, names them, and likes to watch them. Hunters immediately start to kill screechers, because no one is very rich.

However, no one wants to see screechers, so the city councilors of Perchance put a bounty on screechers. Unfortunately, over the years, fewer and fewer hummingbears have graced Perchance, and the townspeople find it harder and harder to make a living. Tourists flock to Perchance to see the adorable creatures. Hummingbears are small with wings and they nest every year in Perchance because of the trees there.

Screechers are about the polar opposites of hummingbears, which are the main claim to fame of Perchance, Willodeen’s village. Screechers are scary animals, beasts that release a disgusting smell when frightened. Every single one, no matter how gross, or scary, or smelly, Willodeen adores them all.
