The Renegades: Giant Leap

Charlie has always felt small - but never this small. Not when the ground hums beneath him. Not when the world trembles. Not when the Passing thunders through the clearing like a living storm.Charlie has always felt small - but never this small.Not when the ground hums beneath him. Not when the world trembles. Not when the Passing thunders through the clearing like a living storm.Every day, a blur of color and heat tears across the farm, rattling the earth and Charlie's imagination. The colony calls it danger. Charlie calls it a question - and questions have a way of pulling him toward the unknown.While the trio debates what the Passing really is, Sniffles - bored and fiddling with toothpicks - accidentally pole-vaults himself across their clubhouse. The crash is spectacular. The idea it sparks is even bigger.If one sneeze disaster can launch him by accident... maybe three determined ants can launch themselves on purpose.Charlie, Zags, and Sniffles train, experiment, and perfect a way to ride the Passing into a world far beyond the colony. A world of legends. They leap into the unknown - but the world outside is bigger, stranger, and far more alive than they ever imagined.Separated along the route, each ant must survive towering dangers and forge unlikely alliances with creatures no ant was ever meant to trust - a clever spider, a bold bee, a sarcastic lizard, and even a rattlesnake whose loyalty is as unpredictable as his fangs.Together, these misfits don't just join the Renegades. They complete them.Fast-paced, funny, and full of heart, The Renegades: The Giant Leap launches an unforgettable middle-grade adventure about bravery, belonging, and the wild places curiosity can lead - even when you're only the size of an ant.
