The Garden Raid is an encouraging tale about a young boy who yearns to belong and discovers his own path and inner voice, respect, acceptance and friendships follow. This story touches on the importance of community, and the value of people reaching out to care about and help others. The story reveals subtle messages of kindness, friendships are developed over time, and in giving to others we are giving to ourselves.
In The Garden Raid, John struggles to make friends in the fourth grade at Margaret Murphy Elementary School. One day, he gets the exciting chance to earn his way into his older brother Tom's sixth-grade band of buddies. The price of friendship? He has to show his bravery by participating in a secret raid on Old Man Varney's prized garden. The problem? The garden is guarded by Varney's demonic dog.
The raid goes bust, but the challenge doesn't end there. John will have to survive detention, dodge a barrage of potting scoops, tame a demon, and befriend a giant of a boy. Through all of this, he starts to question what it will take to become one of the guys.
