As they plunge into their abolition quest, however, untold dangers arise—from betrayals, to life-threatening peril, to the discovery of Tina’s forbidden heritage.

About the Author

Rachel Keith created and finished the world of The Squad at an early age. Inspired to share her faith and glorify God through her passion of writing, she used her extensive knowledge of animals, artistry, graphic design, and fanaticism for a certain video game hedgehog to bring the world of Neftar to life.

When not writing, praying, or geeking out over her video games, Rachel draws custom betta fish portraits, pampers her unusual pets, jams to Christian radio, and reads. And reads. And READS.

Because there’s no such thing as too much of a great story.

Rachel lives in her native land of Nashville, Tennessee, with her menagerie, Bible, and animal encyclopedia.

More from Rachel

I’m Rachel Keith, an 18-year-old homeschool graduate from Franklin, Tennessee. I understand how difficult it is for homeschool families to find safe, clean, Christ-centered fiction that also resonates with young readers, and that’s why I wrote The Squad: Rising series. The series focuses on Tina, an anthropomorphic wolf in a vibrant world of anthropomorphic animals. She and her squad of adopted siblings see the oppression their world is facing, and together, they fight to free their world and establish peace. Though they face plenty of perils, they trust that The Most High will guide them. Each book includes fun resources, including an animal species guide and discussion questions! Inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog and The Chronicles of Narnia, this series—beginning with book 1, Freedom Rings—is a fun new trailblazing series for middle grade fantasy, especially for Christians and anthro lovers!

My Review

Freedom Rings starts off The Squad Rising series by Rachel Keith. Even though I am not the targeted audience for this book, I still enjoyed reading it. I thought the characters were fun and lovable and the plot was full of adventure and action. I thought it was a great way to show young readers the power of faith, hope, bravery, and courage.

I am going to give Freedom Rings four and a half stars. I believe fans of clean fantasy fiction between the ages of eight and thirteen years old. I would love to continue The Squad Rising series, Underground Depths, to see where Rachel Keith takes her characters and readers to next. This one should not be missed.

I received a digital copy of Rachel Keith's Freedom Rings from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
