"The Chronicles of Kibblestan" "Revolution" Andrea Rand's debut novel: 

A Fantastical Adventure, with a Patriotic Twist! 
"When Ellis gets lost in the creepy forest behind his house, a mysterious light draws his attention. He steps into the light, bringing his anxiety-prone dachshund and followed by one very hyper mouse. Together, they find themselves trapped in the dark, ominous world of Kibblestan, a land full of bizarre canines, over-sized rats and small creatures called Petikins. It is also a land that is under attack, by grisly Snotlins who destroy everything in their path. All Ellis wants is to find a way back home, but when he meets a young Petikin who's lost his family, his offer to help sends him on a harrowing journey that will uncover many truths--truths about the Snotlins, truths about the missing family and truths that will lead Kibblestan to a revolution and force Ellis to make the most painful decision of his life."

 REVIEWS:

 
"Loved, loved, loved this book! Ms. Rand writes a fantasy brimming with humor and with heart. The themes of loyalty, bravery, and of democracy are seamlessly woven into the story, and even the fantastical characters, while endlessly entertaining, also have quite believable personalities. Fans will be eagerly awaiting the next Kibblestan adventure. Highly recommended." -- Missy Brewer, school librarian
  
"Fantastic!
Kids enjoyed reading. Ready for the next book!" --A. Newerton

 An Excellent Adventure For Kids AND Parents!, October 28, 2015

"Oh, how our family loves this fabulous new adventure story about a boy, his dog, an adorable mouse, and a variety of endearing and frightening critters and creatures in the land of Kibblestan. A stranger in a strange land, Ellis offers assistance to the inhabitants as they take refuge and then plot a revolution against the tyrannical and evil Snotlins. The word choices and adventures are right down my eleven-year-old boy's alley - the author shows a real understanding of what makes kids tick - resulting in a story that even the most reluctant boy will devour within a few days. And as a parent, I was thrilled that the story also serves as a parable about democracy and the great value of our founding documents and recording of history.
It is rare to find such a well-written book, packed with action and adventure, that also serves as a teaching tool about our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and founding principles. You know you have discovered a wonderful book when you are battling your 5th grader over whose turn it is to read the book!"
 
 
"The Chronicles of Kibblestan: Canines"  Book Two!

The book is The Chronicles of Kibblestan: Canines. It’s the second installment of the Kibblestan series and this story is dedicated to our military service members and their families

From the back of the book:  

It’s been four months since Kibblestan’s Revolution, but in Kibblestan time it’s been ages ….  

Eleven-year-old Kinzie is not having a great year. Her father’s deployed, she’s moved to a new house with her mom and new stepfamily, and the boy living next door is a stone-faced dog-hater.  At least she has Mo, the pudgy, floppy-eared mutt that Kinzie calls The Best Dog in the World, despite Mo’s habit of chewing up leather couches and underwear. When Mo runs off into the creepy woods behind their house, Kinzie heads into the forest in search of her but instead of finding Mo she finds Kibblestan, a fantastical world filled with strange animals, ferocious canines and small creatures called Petikins. Kinzie desperately needs someone to help her navigate this land and find Mo, but the weird inhabitants keep to themselves.  

Why do they seem so sad and lifeless? Why does the mention of a lost dog cause such anger and fear? And what in the world happened to Mo? 

Kibblestan has changed since Ellis’ last adventure, and now there are secrets in Kibblestan that only the dogs know--sinister secrets they’ll do anything to protect. But Kinzie’s quest to find Mo is about to uncover these secrets, one by one, revealing a truth about the canines that could alter Kibblestan forever. 

Reviews:

“With excitement and constant adventure kids will love, The Chronicles

of Kibblestan: Canines entertains and at the same time teaches

invaluable lessons about what it takes to treasure and protect

freedom. It is an outstanding story about perseverance, truth, and the

invaluable purpose of standing up for good in the face of fierce

opposition.”

-       Amanda Hughes, Outreach Director, Constituting America 

"In a society that screams 'surrender', Andrea Rand's series of stories cry 'empower'. Fun and heartwarming, The Chronicles of Kibblestan is the type of series I hope to read to my own children one day to ensure their creativity is nurtured and their love of Liberty is abundant."       

                                

                                                             -- Remso Martinez, host of The Remso Republic

A description of the Kibblestan series: A fantastical adventure, with a patriotic twist. 

Beyond a dark forest lies a land called Kibblestan. The land is not welcoming. It’s not very safe. And if a child enters in, they’ll be lucky to escape. For sinister forces are at work, keeping Kibblestan from being free. And they don’t want anyone to interfere, especially one who understands liberty. Featuring grisly Snotlins, bizarre canines, oversized rats and small creatures called Petikins, The Chronicles of Kibblestan is a thrilling fantasy series that will make you laugh, fill you with suspense and most of all make you ponder: What does it take for a land to be free?
