Dissidents of Perfection

Set in Animal Realm where magic and the wild are beautifully interwoven, this book delves into the ethics of meddling with nature even if it is for a good cause. For Joey Fox and many other animals, Animal Realm is a refuge from Earth. Away from humans, it offers security that is absent on Earth. In fact, the carnivores in the Animal Realm do not even kill to eat. Instead, there is plenty of Bindarian Thistle, a food that grows on any surface, does not need any water, and morphs itself to the taste buds of the animals eating it. Joey likes the security of the Animal Realm and not the dangers of Earth. Then there is Fiona the Flamingo. She is different. She believes in nature, even if it results in lower security guarantees. The Elders of the Animal Realm have been living in blissful ignorance regarding their citizen’s sentiments towards it. And Fiona Flamingo’s escape to earth proves it. Fiona breaks the rules of the Animal Realm by escaping back to Earth. The Animal Realm is shocked—why would someone abandon a perfect land? Fiona’s escape triggered a chain of events in the Animal Realm, including the involuntary disappearance of Joey Fox. Incidentally, Amber, a human has unwittingly made it to the Animal Realm. The chaos has turned the Animal Realm upside down. The Bindarian Thistle has stopped growing, putting the lives of many animals in danger. Amber and the citizens of Animal realm must confront Fiona Flamingo’s disillusionment with “perfection” to restore normalcy in their ideal world.
