The Chronicles of Kibblestan: Revolution (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780996749107)

A Fantastical Adventure, with a Patriotic Twist
Book One in Andrea Rand's award-winning series that consistently asks ... What does it take for a land to be free?

A boy ... a dachshund ... a mouse ... a revolution ...

When eleven-year-old Ellis gets lost in the creepy forest behind his house, a mysterious light draws his attention, beckoning him to come closer. He steps into the light, bringing his anxiety-prone dachshund and followed by one very hyper mouse. Together, they find themselves trapped in the dark, ominous world of Kibblestan, a land full of bizarre canines, over-sized rats, and small creatures called Petikins. It is also a land which is under attack, by grisly Snotlins who destroy everything in their path. All Ellis wants is to find his way back home, but when he meets a young Petikin who's lost his family, his offer to help sends him on a harrowing journey that will uncover many truths--truths about the Snotlins, truths about the missing Petikin family, and truths that will lead Kibblestan to a revolution and force Ellis to make the most painful decision of his life.

This fast-paced, exciting series laced with themes of liberty vs. tyranny will appeal to fans of Erin Hunter's Warriors series or The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins. It is also an ideal novel for book clubs or to be used in a classroom setting, as questions are provided at the end of each novel to help facilitate discussions about how the United States Constitution and America's founding principles can influence a country's freedom.

"Loved, loved, loved this book! Ms. Rand writes a fantasy brimming with humor and with heart. The themes of loyalty, bravery, and of democracy are seamlessly woven into the story, and even the fantastical characters, while endlessly entertaining, also have quite believable personalities. Fans will be eagerly awaiting the next Kibblestan adventure. Highly recommended."

"In a society that screams 'surrender', Andrea Rand's series of stories cry 'empower'. Fun and heartwarming, The Chronicles of Kibblestan is the type of series I hope to read to my own children one day to ensure their creativity is nurtured and their love of Liberty is abundant."
