The Legend of Vinny Whiskers

Zoo gone wrong. Animals attacked in their own cages. One prairie dog to save them all. A fantasy novel inspired by real events.

The Rat Nation is the only remaining superpower of the small animal world. When an unforeseen attack destroys their City of Burrows, the rats turn the full force of thousands toward a distant land. Six-month old prairie dog Boomer Lookout wakes to find war is coming his way and embarks on a quest to save his home.

The Legend of Vinny Whiskers is inspired by true events from Washington, DC. It's "Watership Down for the mainstream", written for teens and adults alike.

Wonderful! Your characters are leaping off the page! Their motivation is clear, and supported by the dialogue. Even without pages (yet), it's a page-turner. Well done!

This preface nicely sets the inspiration for the story, and gives context, however, I feel it may detract from what you are about to set out to do. I would recommend putting this blurb, well written as it is, to the end of the book rather than the beginning.

Greg -- I came back to have a second look, and am very impressed with your writing! It is excellent! Marvelous descriptions that carry the reader along with you. Also, wonderful imagery:

"The lieutenant shook loose the ribbons of wood chips and climbed the fencepost in much the way the senator had done. But whereas the senator's seat on the perch resembled some kind of sentry, like a guardian angel, the lieutenant's pose was as hard as stone, and he looked like a miniature gargoyle."

If all the writing is as good as the first chapter, this is definitely the book that WEbook should publish!

Way to go! nancy

I really like this. I agree with the other comments - well written and has a big hook. I am very interested to learn how you tie the true events to this story. Nice characters too - am I actually starting to like a Rat? On to Chapter six........

-- OK -- so the hook is sinking deeper -- we have a rat (who is the bad guy --- as always--) and some other 'things' that we are learning about -- I wonder what the monarchy is about ? Why is it an icy palace -- what the heck is a tube ? I had no idea that grasshopper wings are legible...

It reads like a thriller but with animals. The animals make it more interesting than people because it's different - not the same old, same old. It was gripping right from the beginning - all that a thriller should be. Can you tell that I liked it?
