In the future, corporations began to take over all aspects of life, until the whole country was ruled by the sinister monopoly of 'GOOD'.

Jake's family live by GOOD's values - buying their products, eating their food, even collecting their logos. His father is a tyrant, his mother weak, and his sister a spoilt brat. Jake, through his special gifts is laughed at for hearing animal noises 'in his head'.

On Jake's thirteenth birthday, he disappears. As he falls into a 'magical' world of enlightenment, Jake discovers things are far from good, and the world not so magical. Guided by his beloved rabbits Rex and Roxy, and the ghostly form of Spot, Jake is awakened to the cruelty that still exists. Practices that were banned decades ago have returned. Has the pursuit of profit and greed caused humanity to close its eyes to the pain and suffering of animals?

Will Jake and his friends manage to break the Spell that has been cast over mankind?

The first book of the trilogy The Passion of the Animals is gritty and harrowing, yet is ultimately about true love, forgiveness, and redemption.
