Opis

When Amabo is appointed to the highest office in the land, the mice of Pendleton eagerly await the changes that he has planned for the village. His victories, and indeed hardships, only strengthen his desire to make certain that every mouse is taken care of, every step of the way. Amabo's Pendleton leaves no mouse behind, and strives to create a place where every mouse is equal, no matter where they come from, what they look like, or what they believe. Equality is seemingly within grasp for the first time in the village's history, until some mice start having second thoughts. With leaders this devout to a cause, it becomes precarious to oppose their ideas, no matter how sincere they may seem. Ryan Patrick's "Amabo: The Bright Mouse in the White House" is an allegorical tale certain to raise questions about the yearning for equality and the promises of prosperity. Examining the salient question of not what is best but who shall decide what is best, Patrick lays bare the inherent conflicts of opposing visions of society. "Amabo" is an insightful, humorous ride through the village of Pendleton, whose satire is as sharp as the claws on his titular character's paws.
