In the second book of "The Snow Kingdom" book series, Sasha, having
escaped from the evil Grubby, finds her way onto a college campus
and befriends another stray dog named, "Duke." Over the years, Duke
has become a mascot of sorts on the campus, and gives Sasha both a
human education and life lessons on how to survive out in the
world. It's a heartwarming story of friendship and the importance
of a great education, for both human and animal alike The themes of
the book are universal, but aren't preachy. They are presented in a
subtle, often very funny way, with engaging characters and witty
dialogue.
In this first book of The Snow Kingdom series, we find Sasha, a
beautiful white Siberian Husky puppy, and her brothers being
auctioned off to new masters at the family farm. Unfortunately,
Sasha is sold to "Grubby," an abusive and neglectful owner. While
she loves Grubby's daughter, Penny, Sasha is determined to escape
Grubby's house to the fabled Siberian Husky "Snow Kingdom" in the
mountains. For anyone who loves "Charlotte's Web" or "The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz," you'll love "The Snow Kingdom: Escape From Grubby's
House" with more than 20 beautiful interior illustrations by Cait
Maloney. Compelling characters, witty dialogue, and a well-crafted
story make the book a page-turner. Before you know it, you'll be
wanting to join Sasha on the next leg of her journey -- "The Snow
Kingdom: Sasha Goes To College" (Book 2). Early Reviews: "What a
great tale (pardon the pun) this is " -- J. Scott Wilson, Internet
Broadcasting, National Managing Editor "Reminded me a lot of
'Charlotte's Web' (the book, not the 1973 movie). I felt like I was
being read a classic story by a kindly adult." -- Michael
Ciccolini, author of "The Pasta Family" book series.
