"Genius...Orwellian...a tremendous novel!"
The leader of the Alamo farm entered through a side door to the barn and mounted the steps of hay to the stage podium. The chickens clucked, the sheep baaed, the cows mooed, the horses whinnied, and the dogs howled in appreciation of their leader Reggie. Years after overthrowing their domineering leader, the animals of Alamo Farm revel in the fruits of their labor and all is well on Alamo Farm until two animals from a neighboring farm sneak through a hole in the fence separating the two farms. It is on this very day that things begin to change. Their diminished bodies evoke the sympathy of most Alamo residents and soon trouble brews when food is stolen and over time the wealthiest animals are taxed to help feed the poorest. Will the animals learn the visitors' language and embrace their culture? Will the visitors be invited to stay on Alamo farm? Reggie sees dollar signs when he looks at the neighbors of T. Wanda farm and thinks the two should merge. Will the changes on Alamo farm be all that Reggie envisions or will the animals of Alamo farm have to band together to fight for their way of life, their farm, their freedom??
