"What is the cost of freedom?"
For Tyler, a quick-witted fox with a love of running and a heart full of questions, the world is full of contradictions. Humans can be both kind and cruel, and the balance between living alongside them and rebelling against their oppression feels impossible to strike. When Tyler's dearest friend, Boxer—a once-mighty horse worn down by years of servitude—faces a life-threatening crisis, Tyler rallies an unlikely band of animals for a daring rescue.
But what begins as a mission to save a friend spirals into chaos, raising an old question that haunts the animal kingdom: Is revolution the answer? Guided by the cryptic Panther, torn between the brutal ideals of revolution and the tender connections he shares with humans like Charlie, Tyler must navigate a world teetering on the edge of upheaval.
The Battle for Boxer is a poignant and beautifully written tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the fragile line between justice and vengeance. Heartfelt, humorous, and thought-provoking, it asks readers to consider what we owe to each other—and to the earth we share.
