Follow Jacob as he leaves the safety of the mouse village for a taste of blackberries and a daring adventure, only to come face to face with the menacing Swamp Rats and their vicious leader, Caine.
Jacob, inspired by his grandfather’s tale of “The Legend of the Great Mouse,” longs for an adventure of his own. When he steps beyond the village with his friend Rudy on a simple blackberry hunt, they are unexpectedly captured by the feared Swamp Rats. Inside this dangerous realm, they meet an unexpected ally, a rat burdened with guilt and yearning for redemption. As the story progresses, Jacob and his new friend’s destinies intertwine as they discover deeper truths about family, friendship, and the transformative power of forgiveness.
However, lurking in the shadows is the sinister Caine, an escaped lab rat who grows increasingly unhinged as the situation unfolds. As Jacob navigates the swamps, he and his allies must confront Caine’s dark ambitions. Will they be able to outsmart this formidable foe, or will the story of their adventure in tragedy?
Perfect for young readers who love tales of camaraderie, redemption, and high-stakes adventure, Freedom Through the Narrow Gate is a heart-stirring continuation of the world introduced in The Oasis King.

My Review
A story that shows how parents respond to disobedience, then survival. Life lessons for sure, but they come from some scary times.
A colorful array of characters are offered, and you’ll be surprised by whom comes to the rescue.
Being held captive, these mice, want to go home, this is their adventure, and the title of the book comes into play here.
There is danger here coming from a lot of directions, and then we wonder whom is going to survive. Right to the end we are looking for our way, and then there is forgiveness.
A book that will grab your attention and not let go, becoming a page turner for answers!
A great way to teach that disobeying can lead to danger.
I received this book through Through The Narrow Gate Launch Team, and was not required to give a positive review.
