In this contemporary animal-fantasy, told in the style of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, animals discover a human plot to launch a nuclear terrorist strike that could result in world-wide destruction, and the death of all animal life. The animals hold a Congress, led by Old Eddie, the wisest elephant at the National Zoo. Despite dissenting views, Congress elects a first-strike solution involving inter-species collaboration. Analogies to current world events -- Chernobyl, arms proliferation, and environmental issues like the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster -- make this novel a relevant book. This highly readable, widely praised Animal Fantasy features 12 original pen-and-ink illustrations by Savage, and is designed by acclaimed book producer Brian Taylor.
