Nothing says excitement like a middle-grade fantasy, and well, Rachel Keith's Squad Rising sounds perfect to me. Listen in and see why I'm excited about this new series.

Rachel and I had a blast talking about the origin of this series, the videos she's made for YouTube (don't miss the Hershey's Kisses video!!!), and her little Calico Critters decked out to look like her characters.

The Squad: Rising by Rachel Keith

Peacekeeping is a privilege… and a punishment.

The world of Neftar, inhabited by animal people, brims with advanced technology, fantastical beasts… and plenty of hardships. Freedom once reigned supreme—now, selfish evils seek to tear freedom down.

Tina the wolf and her squad of powerful siblings have become peacekeepers and freedom fighters for their people. But Tina herself harbors a dangerous secret. In the midst of freeing her kin, can she free herself from the bonds of her secret?
