A twelve-year-old girl like Paisley doesn’t belong in a world ruled by animals. Especially not in the land colonized by Congeesetadors (birds with muskets), at war with the Toad’tecans (frogs with blowpipes), and threatened by Goblins (demons with swamp mud for brains). But to heal her dying grandmother, Paisley must unite a wilderness full of beasts, birds, and blunderbusses, only to discover she’s had the power to save her Maamaw all along. Now if she can just make it back home without being burned at the stake, she’ll uproot her own history in Ruin Oake. Every middle schooler will find this twisted colonial world familiar, full of whimsy, and allegory, but tangled with issues we face today. It’s “Little Red Riding Hood” meets The Crucible, acted out by Muppets.
