Ignorance among the species, racism, and intolerance of differences are rampant. An author's note highlights the beauty and importance of the rainforest. Magic with depth in this new series stunner."--<em>Kirkus Reviews </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>PRAISE FOR GOGI'S GAMBIT: ★ "The second installment in this fast-paced fantasy is enhanced by the richly detailed rainforest setting... a tale about how to celebrate differences and still find unity. Another knockout in a series that will appeal to nature lovers, animal lovers, and fans of magical adventure."--<em>Kirkus Reviews </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>PRAISE FOR RESCUED: <br/>★"[T]he portrayal of Raja as an intelligent, complex individual is gripping and heartbreaking. Schrefer continues to be a vital voice for wildlife conservation and ape empathy."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"With a memorable, quick-bantering cast, this kickoff to the Lost Rainforest series, a playful departure from Schrefer's ape novels, brings fresh perspective to the magical animal subgenre. And, despite the fantasy setup, readers will come away learning quite a bit about this ecosystem and its inhabitants."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>★"Schrefer's second book in the Lost Rainforest series continues the enthralling fantasy adventures of this eclectic group of animals and hints at where the next threat to the rain forest will come from. Fans of <em>Mez's Magic</em> and Katherine Applegate's <em>Endling #1: The Last</em> (2018) will eagerly devour <em>Gogi's Gambit</em>."--ALA <em>Booklist </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"<em>Mez's Magic</em> is packed with as many jokes as fast-paced fight scenes. And Schrefer has created a stock of memorable characters--including Gogi, a monkey with self-esteem issues; Rumi, a delightfully urbane tree frog; and a manic, pixie-dream bat named Lima."--<em>New York Times Book Review</em><br><br>"Just right for middle grade readers who want an engrossing fantasy adventure."--School Library Journal<br><br>"Schrefer beautifully shows the humanity we share with all living things."--School Library Journal<br><br>"Schrefer, a well-deserving two-time National Book Award finalist, approaches the conundrums and difficulties of our relationship with apes with sensitivity and finesse... enthralling, fast-paced, adventurous and deeply touching."--<em>New York Times Book Review</em><br><br>"This is a book that combines skillful interpretation of orangutan character, the cruelty inherent in keeping apes as pets, and the plight of the wild orangutans. Eliot has created unforgettable characters in Raja, the orphaned ape and his human 'brother, ' John. Moving, fascinating and eye opening."--Dr. Jane Goodall<br><br>"Well researched and emotionally rich."--The Horn Book<br><br>PRAISE FOR MEZ'S MAGIC: "Unlike anything I've read. Eliot Schrefer has mined the richness and depths of his setting to find a deeper magic, immersing us in a world that is at once complex, dangerous, beautiful, and ultimately demanding of our protection. A thrilling start to an exceptional new series."--Soman Chainani, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of The School for Good and Evil series<br>
