The Great Pet
Rebellion

Nine horses are dead at human hands. Something has awakened. And animals are no longer willing to remain prisoners.

When the horses' terrifying deaths send a strange signal through the animal world, something begins to change. Deep beneath a lonely house, Luther, an abused Rottweiler, and a group of captive animals suddenly become aware of the suffering they share. They have spent their lives afraid, controlled, and unable to escape. Now they have a choice. Stay where they are, or fight for their freedom. But someone will have to lead them, and Luther never imagined that someone would be him.

Eight-year-old Chloe is a prisoner too. Taken from her family and convinced that the man holding her captive is her father, she has learned to live with fear and loneliness. As she connects with the animals trapped in the basement, she begins to see that they are suffering just as she is. Chloe and the animals form an authentic bond, but escape will not be easy. For the animals, they must learn to trust one another, even though some are natural enemies, and overcome the instincts that have always kept them apart.

Now the animals are preparing to fight back. As Luther finds the courage to lead, Chloe finds the strength to face the truth, and together they must risk everything for a chance at freedom. The Great Pet Rebellion is a gripping story of courage, friendship, sacrifice, and the extraordinary bond between a child and the animals who refuse to leave her behind.
