A modern twist on the classic adventure quest…
A determined little cat leads a group of animals on a perilous journey in Bush’s second installment of the General Jack and the Battle of the Five Kingdoms series. In 1349, a plague ship brings death to Tailandia, disrupting the once-peaceful land. Among the survivors is Big Bertha, a formerly comfortable farm cat. Leading her animal companions, she embarks on a dangerous journey to escape the sickness. Can Big Bertha guide them to safety and rebuild their fellowship in a new land? Bush skillfully creates authentic, multi-dimensional characters, particularly Big Bertha, whose growth drives the story. Her journey reveals the depths of her character as she faces the harsh realities of her world. The clear, straightforward prose makes the story accessible to all ages, with vivid descriptions and moments of humor and introspection adding depth. The fresh perspective of animals navigating a human-dominated world brings a new angle to familiar themes of harmony and goodness. Throughout, the novel uses allegory and symbolism, especially in animal-human relationships, to explore themes of coexistence, morality, and survival. A high-stakes, page-turning adventure that beautifully captures the experience of growing up, love, and the bittersweet loss of innocence.
