A lion cast out from his tribe. An elephant who can read the bones of the dead. A baboon rebelling against his destiny. For generations, the animals of the African plains have followed a single rule: only kill to survive. But when an unthinkable act of betrayal shatters the peace, the fragile balance between predators and prey will rest in the paws of three unlikely heroes.

In this humorous retelling of the classic fable told by a mouse, Catnip is the bold mouse who is caught by the lion (she really should not have tried to jump over him)--but it is her timid twin sister Bitsy who finds the courage to fulfill her sister's promise, and chews through the net the lion gets caught in.

"A new Great Father now rules over the animals of Bravelands, but he is not what he seems, and unless the elephant Sky, the baboon Thorn, and the lion Fearless can fight his lies and unite the animals of the plains, the balance of Bravelands may be destroyed forever"--
