Runt the Hunted - Book

Eagerly anticipated sequel to "Runt the Brave."

The underground mouse-city of Tira-Nor falls under a new kind of attack, this time from the cunning rat warrior Kreeg and his band of cutthroats. Only JaRed son of ReDemec, `Runt,' recognizes the danger to the woodland realm. But JaRed has been driven into exile by the city's mad king, and his former friends are ordered to kill him on sight. How can one mouse make a difference against such terrible odds?  Beset by enemies in a strange, lonely world, rejected and betrayed by the very mice he once saved, JaRed is about to discover the hard truth about himself.  And it may cost him his life.

The wondrous sequel to "Runt the Brave", Runt the Hunted continues the anthropomorphic adventures of a courageous young mouse in a world beset by dangers. The sly rat warrior Kreeg and his alliance of cutthroats is poised to destroy the underground mouse city of Tira-Nor, yet JaRed son of ReDemee, "Runt", cannot deliver warning of the danger because the mad king has thrust him into exile.

Award-winning novelist Daniel Schwabauer, M.A., has penned another winning forest fantasy for readers of all ages. Highly recommended.

Voya:

This novel has plenty of action, and the plot moves along quickly, with the promise of yet another book in the series. Young readers who like fantasy, especially with inspirational flavor, should enjoy this book. This story should appeal especially to fans of the Redwall series or Shadowmancer. ...clean, fast paced and accessible fantasy and faith fiction.

Heartland Reviews: 5-hearts

“This children’s fantasy sequel to Runt the Brave is a stand-alone story of "Runt" (JaRed, the small mouse), and his tribulations with the unjust, mad King SoSheth of the mouse colony Tira-nor. Runt must somehow stay alive while foiling an overwhelming attack by evil rats. For readers of the Old Testament, you will recognize many arch-type parallels with the David and Saul story.

The author has the uncanny ability to turn animal characters into human-like roles. He compares very favorably with Jacques’ Redwall series. This is a perfect book for reluctant readers and can be read at multiple levels. We rated it a high five hearts.”
