Beyond the Bramble Thicket
Noah Clue, P.I.
Finding Scrooge

"No self-respecting rabbit would go into the forest..."

That is what Papa Rabbit has said for all of Cottontip's life. Even so, a desperate search for a cure drives this young rabbit buck into the forest, where he is befriended by an exuberant young fox kit named May. It isn't long until their unlikely friendship turns their community upside-down.

When a pack of wolves with no respect for the natural order jeopardize everything Cottontip and May hold dear, they must rally their families and neighbors to stand together and preserve their home.

Set in the untamed wilds of pre-Columbian central Minnesota, "Beyond the Bramble Thicket" celebrates how the bonds of friendship, family, and community prevail over prejudice and fear.

Bob Cratchit and Ebenezer Scrooge are busy preparing for their holiday celebration. Five years have passed since Scrooge’s miraculous transformation, the strange circumstances of which no one could ever quite account for.

But when Scrooge fails to make his annual appearance at Fred’s dinner party, everyone is alarmed. Nephew Fred, Bob Cratchit, his son Tim, and Martha Cratchit’s fiancé Daniel set out into the grip of a snowstorm to locate Mr. Scrooge. Their journey will take them right into one of the darkest slums of East London, as they discover what it truly means to Keep Christmas Well.

Peppered with original drawings by Samuel Morgainne Blight, Jason C. McDonald’s original sequel to A Christmas Carol recaptures the whimsical voice of Charles Dickens, with a message that is as fresh and relevant today as it was 175 years ago.

About

typewriter keys

In the wild, Jason C. McDonald (Homo anachronismus) is generally found in coffee shops, often in the presence of a typewriter, with whom it shares a symbiotic relationship. The species can often be differentiated from the similar H. sapiens by the prominent tweed flat cap, bow tie, and waistcoat, although this plumage may vary with season. While it grooms computer code for survival, it prefers to collect ideas from its surroundings, and weave them with words into ornate fiction books that are prized the world over for their intricate plots and compelling characters.

Other common habitats include forests, meadows, and suburban gardens in central Minnesota, often in the company of large, enthusiastic members of the species Canis familiaris. Some legends suggest that H. anachronismus is also capable of time travel, but these rumors are unsubstantiated.
