Squirrel Squad Adventures: Swish! J E Reynolds

Swish is the leader of the Squirrel Squad, an elite team of five members. For hundreds of years, the Squad, who are hand selected by the Council of Elders, is chosen as guardians. They are the youngest in the history of the Squad and sworn to protect and provide a safe space to all in their community.
Swish is the fastest squirrel in all of Chestnut County, Georgia and everybody knows it! As the team leader, he has many responsibilities, as well as providing for his family. He's a little guy with heart, but he also has an ego to match. He doesn't listen to his father, he often stretches the truth and he believes following rules is annoying and not fun. Swish thinks of himself as a rebel, ignoring the very dangers he's bound to protect his community from. But today he and his squad are about to face the biggest challenge of their young lives when they come face to face with the mighty hawk, Raptor!
A story that teaches children important life lessons: respect of elders and parents, obeying important rules meant to protect them, a time for work and a time for play, being a part of a community and how each is responsible for taking care of one another, and the importance of life.
