Family secrets, a kingdom in danger, the adventure of a lifetime for two brothers and their horse . . .

‘Small Wonder’: that was what Tick’s grandfather always called him. He taught Tick a lot of things: how to take care of himself; how to take care of his little brother, Leaf; how to take care of their horse, Pebble.

But Grandfather is no longer around . . .

So when the family home is under suddenly threat, it’s on Tick to put everything he’s learned into practice and protect his family, by taking them on a quest filled with danger. Because it’s not just their home at risk; enemies are invading the whole land. He has only six moons to get to Kings’ Keep and warn their ruler . . . Travelling through forests and mountains, encountering bandits and rogue knights along the way, the journey is not an easy one.

But Tick is determined to honour his grandfather’s last advice – Make it count, Small Wonder. . .

A heart-warming adventure about the unbreakable bond between a dog and his human from a beloved and twice Costa-shortlisted author. “A beautiful, heartfelt adventure.” Sophie Anderson“I’m Tom’s dog, and he’s my human. We belong to each other.” Rebel is a good dog, and he loves his simple, perfect life on the farm with his owner Tom – until one day the war comes too close… Now Tom is determined to join the rebellion to defeat the king’s men.

But Rebel knows war is dangerous, and he will stop at nothing to save the human he loves. Rebel must bring Tom home before it’s too late. “A fantastic quest novel that sits between Charlotte’s Web and War Horse.

Rebel’s voice is true and clear: he is the best of dogs and this is the best of books.” Phil Earle”An instant classic. Outstanding writing and a richly adventurous story – Montgomery has reached a whole new level.” Katya Balen“A terrific tail! A tail-thumping, tongue-lolling treat full of adventure, humour and heart.” Ross Welford“I Am Rebel both broke my heart and made it sing. This book is as close to perfect as it’s possible to get.” Natasha Farrant“The goodest story about the goodest boy.

I love Rebel like my own dog.” Carlie Sorosiak“A beautifully crafted and heartwarming story. The animal voices were so funny and the wider message about courage, belonging and delighting in small nothings was just gorgeous. A little marvel of a story.” Abi Elphinstone“An instant animal classic.

Thrilling, original, funny and deeply moving.” Lauren St John“Heartstopping animal adventure. A new canine hero is born.” Piers Torday
