In a world built for Perfect Pets, Barnabus is a Failed Project,
half mouse, half elephant, kept out of sight until his dreams of
freedom lead him and his misfit friends on a perilous adventure. A
stunning picture book from international bestsellers The Fan
Brothers, joined by their brother Devin Fan. Deep underground
beneath Perfect Pets, where children can buy genetically engineered
"perfect" creatures, there is a secret lab. Barnabus and his
friends live in this lab, but none of them are perfect. They are
all Failed Projects. Barnabus has never been outside his tiny bell
jar, yet he dreams of one day seeing the world above ground that
his pal Pip the cockroach has told him about: a world with green
hills and trees, and buildings that reach all the way to the sky,
lit with their own stars. But Barnabus may have to reach the
outside world sooner than he thought, because the Green Rubber
Suits are about to recycle all Failed Projects . . . and Barnabus
doesn't want to be made into a fluffier pet with bigger eyes. He
just wants to be himself. So he decides it's time for he and the
others to escape. With his little trunk and a lot of cooperation
and courage, Barnabus sets out to find freedom - and a place where
he and his friends can finally be accepted for who they are. This
suspenseful, poignant and magical story about following your dreams
and finding where you truly belong will draw readers into a
surreal, lushly detailed world in which perfection really means
being true to yourself and your friends. 'A stately, cathartic
morality tale about freeing oneself from the tyranny of wanting to
be perfect.' -The Financial Times 'ingeniously imaginative' -

diversity, bravery, and solidarity.'- Kirkus
