“fantastic” - Midwest Book Review
“…a fantastic young adult novel that in effect retells the legend of David and Goliath. Set in the land of Tira-Nor, inhabited by sentient woodland creatures, one little mouse nicknamed "Runt" is the world's only hope against an invading army of terrible rats. A thrilling adventure of putting one's courage to the test in dire situations, RUNT THE BRAVE is an engaging saga told with excitement and flair.” Buy Now

“remarkable” - Rosanne Catalano (former editor at Dalmatian Press)
“This is the kind of book I want my child to read. Schwabauer has a poetic and sophisticated writing style which combines with the simplicity of the mouse world to give RUNT THE BRAVE its depth. The levels he gives the story enable a child-reader to return to it at different ages and read different things into it. The legends of ElShua, the Great Owl and Wroth are original, and vivid entities in their own right. An older person will recognize the parallels, but the novelty and simplicity of the legends will draw the children in.
In short, Schwabauer has done a remarkable job creating my favorite kind of young adult book. I believe it will appeal to a broad range of ages.” Buy Now
