About this ebook

Rats and Frauds Beware—Activists Are Coming to Save Democracy

Four young activists, Izzy, Zoom, Roxy, and Fritz, make it their mission to agitate against the decay of democracy. In their travels to New York, Washington DC, and through the heartland, they confront our political frauds and the fools who voted for them. When they become the target of violence in a rural town, they engage the community and find creative and entertaining ways to shake citizens out of their narrow-minded lethargy.

Rats and frauds beware. The activists in this political fairy tale participate in a variety of whimsical events: A figure reminiscent of the Pied Piper entices frauds to march as rats into the Potomac River; an artist paints a portrait of the wannabe dictator and incorporates the hues from a donkey’s ass; and ticks find their way onto the scalps of white nationalists.

The Activists confronts the turmoil in America with satire, bits of magic, drumming, art, rhyming, and political theater. Similar to the Parkland activists and the likes of Greta Thunberg, the novel’s protagonists are passionate about the future and take action. If you want political change, you will find this novel stimulating and amusing.
