"Team! I am your leader on this Quest! Follow me!"
From the outset of their adventure, Master Mouse is hampered by his hilarious and calamitous teammates who don't even recognize him as their leader. A mouse, a giraffe, a slug and ... a pig?!? All perfectly imperfect, how can they possibly compete against the mighty lions? Will they even finish the final challenge of Quest School?
Find out what really matters in the end...
Heroes of the Quest - An Impossible Team is a 14,500-word middle-grade children's book written to amuse, instruct and inspire kids aged 6 to 10 by transporting them to a magical world of adventure while drawing deep parallels with their own journeys of growth and awareness. Beautifully illustrated, the book's clear messages are delivered with humor and pace and give permission to kids of all ages to embrace the life's endeavors by being brave and vulnerable.
Coincidentally thrown together for their final task at Quest School, Master Mouse, Gemma Giraffe, Sally Slug, and Robert Pig are asked to form a team. Goal of their mission is to successfully rescue someone in need, as a final requirement for their graduation from Quest School, thus enabling them to pursue the role of professional Questers.
However, we are all perfectly imperfect, and no one demonstrates this better than Master Mouse and his flawed team who seem doomed to fail from the outset. Unaware of the unique skills each brings, and all keen to suppress their individual flaws, the ragged team struggle to work together.
Gemma Giraffe, following revelations of her illiteracy, opts to stay behind. Slow Sally Slug gets distracted, and Robert Raccoon, in his single-minded focus on food, runs off after spying a decision apple tree. Eager to prove his capabilities and overcome his low self-esteem, Master Mouse is excited to go off on his own but is instead faced by his very own challenge.
Through a hilarious series of mishaps and misunderstandings, this book shows children how vulnerability brings us closer to each other. It demonstrates how embracing our perceived weaknesses helps us cooperate while acknowledging our individuality and diversity.
