Target Audience: Teen/Adult (no mature content)
Book Blurb: Is an allegorical tale about a forest society of amphibians that are oppressed by a totalitarian government led by Toads, which ultimately fuels a revolution. Toads seized control of the government and the coffee bean trade in Liberty forest. Taxation without representation, cancel culture, gun control, and censorship are just some of the tools of their oppression- all in the midst of an amphibian virus pandemic. Jouko and his patriot frogs band together to start a revolution. But, freedom has a price. Frogs Vs. Toads. Battling forest creatures. Spiritual warfare. Political theory. Good Vs. evil. Frogtown is intended for the Christian-conservative reader who is an adult/young-adult. It contains violence and strong content, but NO explicit language or sexual content. Though its intended audience, Frogtown can be enjoyed by many. (From Goodreads)
Review:
~I'd like to thank the author for sending me a free copy in exchange for my honest review!~
This was an interesting book. In a world of amphibians instead of humans, Frogtown Pandemic basically blends covid and the revolutionary war into one story. For example, there's the "Amphibian Virus" (complete with masks and social distancing XD), the "Mosstown Coffee Party", "Taxation Without Representation", and more.
At first, it was a little slow, but after about 30 pages in I started to get into it. After that, it was fun and easy to read.
This is a unique journey that will pique your interest!
