Theo and the Secret of Elshon - Paperback

by Melanie Ansley (Author)

A rabbit with the secret ability to read. An axe-wielding bear. A warrior princess.

Together, they must find the fabled Library of Elshon, and fight the human empire bent on turning animals into mindless beasts of burden.

In the sequel to the award-winning "Theo and the Forbidden Language", Theo, Brune, and Indigo must find the infamous and feared muskrat, Orjo the Terrible. For only he can lead them to the legendary Elshon, a lost library in a land where reading and writing are punishable by death. At Elshon, Theo hopes to find the cure to Pacification-the empire's power to make animals mute and mindless.

But can they find the Library and its hidden powers before Theo's enemy, the vengeful human warlord Ornox, hunts them down? Can they even trust the notoriously conniving Orjo? It's a race against time and overwhelming odds as Theo and his team must test their friendship, courage, and wits to uncover the secret to defeating the empire. For fans of Redwall, the Chronicles of Narnia and Watership Down comes a fantasy adventure about faith, self-acceptance, and the power of the written word.
