The Letter for the King meets The Incredible Journey in this story of one dog's quest to save the human he loves.
I'm Tom's dog, and he's my human. We belong to each other.
Rebel is a good dog. He loves his simple, perfect life on the farm with his owner, Tom—until one day, when the war comes too close. Tom is determined to join the rebellion to defeat the king's men, but Rebel knows that war is dangerous, and he will stop at nothing to save his beloved human. How can he bring Tom home before it's too late? A heartwarming adventure told from a dog's perspective as he travels across a pseudo-Civil War Britain on his loyal mission, I Am Rebel holds sure appeal for fans of I, Cosmo; When the Sky Falls; and War Horse.
Devotion permeates this tale of a small dog who's swept up in a peasants' revolt against a greedy king ... Heartwarming fare for young pet owners who feel the love and loyalty going both ways. —Kirkus Reviews
Montgomery writes Rebel as the quintessential canine: aloof at times, but dedicated. Humor is found in Rebel's enduring optimism, both of the world and of his situation, in comparison to the worldview of other animals. This is an easy pitch to readers who enjoy animal adventure stories. Recommend to dog lovers and fans of Pax (2016), by Sara Pennypacker. —Booklist
