Elevator Pitch:
Mr. Raccoon lost his family when he was young and ever since then he has been searching for a place to belong. He finally finds it: his new best friend Chloe, a young kitten with a painful past. The two friends quickly bond and grow very close, until a dreadful, monstrous storm separates them. Chloe meets a young, human boy, Charlie. Together, the two of them set off on a quest to find Mr. Raccoon, who has been imprisoned in an animal labour camp... somewhere far far away. -
Main Character:
TW for animal death/fires
It is hard for me to choose a single 'main character' since there are three of them in this novel, who all have unique and detailed pasts and elements of who they are. But for the purpose of this I will focus on Mr. Raccoon, since originally I was inspired to write this novel by looking at an image of a raccoon hiding from water (I think?), which inspired the flood idea.
So, Mr. Raccoon is the age equivelant of a teenager in raccoon years. He originally, when he was young, had a family who loved him very much. He looks like a raccoon and is one too. He had siblings and parents. They all lived in this big forest together that had a lot of trees and greenery. One day, because of an unknown cause (which is revealed later in the book) the forest all lit on fire. It was such a horrible fire that the entire thing went up in flames. All of the animals had to flee their homes... or else they would die. Mr Raccoons famils got caught up in the worst of it, so they were all running away from the flames. Since he was the smallest, his dad was holding him while he ran, since he was only a baby and was not fast. The flames were closing in on them, so as a last resort, his father threw him as far as he could, just as the flames closed in on his entire family.
He landed in a stream on water and flaoted on a log until a dad and son in a boat found him and took him on board. they docked at the town that he lives in when the story begins, which is where he meets the kind man who gives him food daily, since he does not know how to hunt things (and this is a friendly childrens story where animals dont eat other animals and they are all friends XD)
On the inside, Mr Raccoon misses his family. He wants to meet someone who he can love (mostly just as a friend and not to be in love) and protect and help feel happy. He wants to be accepted and feel safe. He belives in loyalty and trust and would do anything for his friends. Despite all of his pain, he is quick to forgive others. -
