King Griffen the Great has stolen the throne of Felinia and forced the peasant dogs to work for dirty water and stale dog biscuits. When a call goes out for a revolution, dozens of canines are arrested for treason and thrown into the castle dungeon--including Camille, a black standard poodle with mystical powers.A band of rebel canines gathers to plot the rescue of their comrades and of the Maiden Poodle, who they believe is their only hope to deliver Felinia from King Griffen's claws. Comprised of a worrisome beagle, a sassy Scottish terrier, a gruff Saint Bernard, a well-groomed golden retriever, an obedient greyhound, and a clever border collie, the band of rebels is all that remains of the revolution.In order to pull off their rescue, they'll need the help of a mind-reading miniature poodle, a wily tabby named Waldo, a local toymaker, and some good old-fashioned magic. But time is short. In the depths of the dungeon, the Maiden Poodle grows weak and the darkness grows stronger. As one of the Guardians of the Light, her existence helps to ensure a balance between the light and the dark. If she's not rescued in time, darkness will start to spread across the world.

Author S.G. Browne's adult novels are known for their intriguing premises and biting satire, but his latest story is a complete departure from all that.
Written for children, and children at heart, Browne's independently published novella is set in the fictional kindgom of Felinia, where once upon a time royal cats and peasant dogs lived together in harmony.
That all changed however when the evil King Griffen stole the throne from his Uncle, relegating dogs to a life of servitude and stale kibble. Now it's up to a group of rebellious pooches to dethrone King Griffen and restore order to Felinia -- if they can stop chasing the mailman long enough to do it.
Did I mention that they're anthropomorphic animals, because they're totally anthropomorphic animals.
Despite being largely unlike his adult novels, The Maiden Poodle still manages to spotlight Browne's trademark humor, including the appearance of a former slave dog who was forced to chase a mechanical rabbit around a track, a pooch who was imprisoned for constantly barking at the garbage collector, a local tabloid called The Daily Mews and a cat king who spends the majority of his time sleeping in a luxurious oversized bed. Not to mention a couple instances of fourth wall breaking.
As a huge fan of Browne's adult work, I wasn't quite sure how I would feel about his novel for children -- especially since I've been leaning away from children and middle grade fiction as of late -- but I really enjoyed this novella.
Super cute and fast paced, Browne did not lie when he said this story is perfect for both animal loving children and adults. (
