The Lincoln Zoo Rebellion
A fun adventure novel for middle-grade kids 8-14—and young-at-heart adults
An elderly zookeeper who can converse with animals, a pretty young veterinarian, a fugitive African teen, zoo animals, and kids from the American town of Lincoln join forces in a rousing rebellion to defend zoo animals' rights when a corrupt mayor and his cronies greedily attempt to turn the zoo into an amusement park.
The Lincoln Zoo Rebellion deals with animal rights and preservation in an entertaining and humorous way, making it an engaging read for kids from 8 to 14—and young-at-heart adults. It connects with today’s kids, who are more aware than previous generations because of the internet and faster moving times. It makes learning more exciting and fun.
A portion of all proceeds from sales of The Lincoln Zoo Rebellion will be donated to organizations dedicated to improving the lives of animals.
