The Chronicles of Kibblestan: Canines (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780996749114)

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

It's been four months since Kibblestan's Revolution, but in Kibblestan time it's been ages ....

Eleven-year-old Kinzie is not having a great year. Her father's deployed, she's moved to a new house with her mom and new stepfamily, and the boy living next door is a stone-faced dog-hater. At least she has Mo, the pudgy, floppy-eared mutt that Kinzie calls The Best Dog in the World, despite Mo's habit of chewing up leather couches and underwear. When Mo runs off into the creepy woods behind their house, Kinzie heads into the forest in search of her. But instead of finding Mo she finds Kibblestan, a fantastical world filled with strange animals, ferocious canines and small creatures called Petikins. Kinzie desperately needs someone to help her navigate this land and find Mo, but the weird inhabitants keep to themselves. Why do they seem so sad and lifeless? Why does the mention of a lost dog cause such anger and fear? And what in the world happened to Mo?

Kibblestan has changed since Ellis' last adventure, and now there are secrets in Kibblestan that only the dogs know--sinister secrets they'll do anything to protect. But Kinzie's quest to find Mo is about to uncover these secrets, one by one, revealing a truth about the canines that could alter Kibblestan forever.

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.
