Frederick Frederickson has a food-chain theory about life. There are lions, like the school bully. Gazelles, like the bullied kids. There are meerkats, and the fleas that live on the butts of meerkats. Frederick's a flea. Fifth grade is off to a terrible start when Frederick is sent to a disciplinary camp for troublesome boys. His fellow troop mates—Nosebleed, Specs, The Professor, and little-yet-lethal Ant Bite—are terrifying. But in between trust-building exercises and midnight escape attempts, a tenuous friendship grows between them. Which is lucky, because a Category 5 hurricane is coming and everyone will have to work together—lions and fleas alike—to survive! Kate Beasley outdoes herself in this hilarious, whip-smart tale of brotherhood, survival, and what it really means to be a friend.

For the past century little had stood in the way of those running the news industry, a handful of socialists; men, women, dynasties. No real threat to their power and influence had ever surfaced in that time, nothing that could not be dispensed with by the overwhelming force of their news empires. These demigods believed themselves invincible...invincible up to that one fateful day when catastrophe struck them down. It was a day like no other, the day when their long-held monopoly slipped from their grasp and their control over the truth, forever lost. This is the telling of that tale, a tale of the events leading up to that single turning point for the nation...a day when truth was restored to the people...and the liars put out to pasture.
