THEODORE BOBNOGGIN and THE BACKYARD CHRONICLES welcomes us into the magical world of talking animals.

Lies. Deception. Greed.
Unscrupulous real estate developers want Theodore Bobnoggin's land as their own.
Hunting. Trespass. Fear.
The coyote-with-no-name, yellow eyes, and a black heart also wants the Bobnoggin property as his own.
A wicked thunderstorm screams across the Midwest and Theodore Bobnoggin is struck by lightning, straight through the top of his head. His world is forever changed.
Theo regains consciousness blessed with the ability to talk to animals. And they talk back.
Mourning the loss of his wife of thirty years, Theodore Bobnoggin is straddling the line between what is real and what he wants to be real. Theo and his new animal friends form an unlikely alliance in defense of their territory from those determined to take it from them.
You will meet, and fall in love with, a mother grey squirrel and her two kids (one, an adopted red squirrel), a snarky crow, a predatory owl, and a lazy cat with a speech impediment and a predilection for savagery when provoked.
A gun-toting widow next door, a compassionate veterinarian, and a charming teenage couple conspire with Theo and his alliance to stem the tide of human encroachment. Failure is not an option.
Loyalties will be tested. Will the alliance hold? What price must be paid?
Theodore Bobnoggin and The Backyard Chronicles is an endlessly entertaining story with a rapid-fire pace and intricately woven plot to delight all readers from teens to adults. It will make you laugh, cry, and you will cheer for the oddball cast of characters (human and animal) as you have never cheered before. This is a story about loyalty, courage, sacrifice, and friendship.

This is the first novel in a planned series and will be perfect for fans of WATERSHIP DOWN, THE CALL OF THE WILD, AND PETER RABBIT.

AI ruined it

Cute story, but just like when you see an AI video, it feels flat. With the correct narration this would have been delightful.
